LONDON, April %. The news of another
battle, though not Ms yet confirmed, has
greatly increased the danger of war. The
Times says that the rumor is probably
the first Oozing out of news which has
been officially suppressed At present
only the Independence Beige and the Daily
Nelcs have received report of the battle.
II is presumed that n body of Russians
followed body of retreating Afghans
while scouting in the country for the pur-
pose of collecting information, and, per-
haps, pushed to Chamenibeide, thus
coming into contact with the Afghan
troops on the direct route to Herat. Or
n similar movement may have been made
from Zuefikar or Acrobat. At present
there is nothing TO show where the con-
tiict occurred.
A declaration of war is not expected to
follow upon rupture of diplomatic rela-
tons. Baron de Staal and Sir Edward
Thornton would be recalled and Russia
would then probably order General
Komaroff to advance ON Herat, England
meanwhile occupying Quota and Cnnda-
har. The fact tllnt the Russian transport
which passed through the Suez canal und
then was ordered back is still waiting ut
the entrance of the SueZ canal, causes
some anxiety.
During the last few days ii has been
reported that the whole Russian coast of
the Baltic had been strongly fortified and
that the approach ut my point is danger
aus owing % the presence of torpedoes
and SEA mines.
GERMANY's POSITION.
BERLIN, April %. The National lei
tung says that Germany remains neutral
in the present crisis in the relations of
England and Prussia, adding that no re-
quest has been received for mediation.
The Nati,aaI Zeitung also denies that the
Gar wrote the emperor of Germany tint
the chances for peace had diminished.
PARIS, April 28.-A special dispatch
from Berlin to the Journal DIES Dictates
says that Germany is not disposed to be-
come the mediator between Russia and
England. The dispatch also states that
Russia even refuses arbitration MS u
means of settlement of her present differ
ences with England.
SHEERNEss, ENGLAND, April 28.-Four
torpedo-boats lying here have been
ordered into commission for immediate
service.
LONDON, April 28.-Immense quanti-
ties of coal are being shipped to Cape
Town, South Africa, for the use of British
armed cruisers and men-of-war in the
event of the Suez canal being blocked on
an outbreak of war between England and
Russia.

siOu-A Russian Defeat.


LONDON, April 27.-Mr. Gladstone in
the house of commons, bringing up the
subject of vote of credit of sos ,000, 900
asked for by the government on the army
and navy account, said he hoped that the
motion TO divide the credit would not be
passed. The government, he said, would
not devote any portion of the money
voted for particular purposes for use in
the Soudan, but would reserve the discre-
ton to apply the money taken for the
Soudan account for the purposes of
special preparations. He urged that the
house vote the government the entire

Sharpsburg Powerless 60 Deal with
m Fire this Morning.

PrTTsBuRe, April 23-2.30 o. m.-The
fire at Sharpsburg, Pa, started in the
saloon of Thomas Murphy, on Tenth
street, shortly before l O'Clock and
quickly communicated to the adjoining
buildings on both sides. Three stores
and four buildings are now burning and
the flames are spreading in six directions.
The town has no facilities for subduing
the flames, and assistance has not yet ar
rived from Pittsburg. Sharpsburg is a
thriving borough of about 6, 900 inhabi-
tants, and has many fine buildings and
many manufacturing establishments. 1t
is situated six miles north of this city.
3a. m.-The fire is burning fiercer than
ever and not drop of water has been
thrown on the doomed buildings or those
endangered. No assistance has arrived
but it is expected momentarily. In the
meanwhile the citizens are powerless to
prevent the spread of the flames. Fifteen
buildings have already been destroyed
and 20 families IRE homeless. The ex-
cftement is intense. The loss at this hour
cannot be approxiniated, but will be very
heavy.
500 n. m.-The Allegheny fire depart
ment has just arrived and was greeted
with cheers. They are doing good service
and have the fire now under control. One
entire block of buildings has been con-
sumed. The entire loss will foot up

THE GAZETTE indorses the objection.
Our own opinion, frequently ex-
pressed, Is that the watered lands
should be put on the market, because
the pioneer is not able to provide arti-
fetal water means. But this aside, the
governors argument proves his de-
sire to see the country settled and no
ffee-grass man asks more. THE GA
zErTE is pleased to record the black
eye given by the governor to cattle
syndicates and corporations who
sought to perpetuate their business In
the state at the expense OF its settle
ment, and we trust that this veto may
be read by every lease.law man in
Texas. 1t is an admirable free.grass
document.

III THE GAZETTE had been requested

bill which permits the leasing glands
in unorganized counties in Unlimited
quantities, the governor srggests a
most cogent objection to lsnd leasing
In any shape, when he refers TO the ag-

sum required to secure the road to
Corsicana, for such an outlet would so
firmly fix the superior distributing
facilities OF this city that house build
ing here would rival the magical
growth of mining towns.
With this connection the SUI
premacy OF Fort Worth, as q
Wholesale point. would be estab-
lished beyond the hope of any
rival TO disturb, and local feeders
would as naturally seek terminus
here as that ali the roads In the grand
empire pointed to Rome. With a road
to Corslcana via Whxahachie, Fort
Worth could complacently regard the
future, when other roads to the south
west, via Brownwood, to the north
east to Paris and, later on, to the
northwest, via Seymour, would seek
the great interior city OF the South
west and who would say that from
Corsicana third Texas road into
New Orleans would never be built?
This Fort Worth, Corsicana & Sa-
bine Pass road in operation to Corsi-
cana would be but the beginning Of
the fulfillment of Fort Worth's dream
of commercial greatness; it would
mean road to Brownwood speedily
and rates of freight that would attract
to this city the buyers of cheap goods
from all over the great northern and
western sections Of the state and the
near future would bring, as the logi-
cal outcome Of this connection, made
no,0, grand union depot into which
would run trains from more than
dozen different points OF the compass.
