OUR FOREIGN BUDGET.

Contrary to expectation, the war
cloud over Europe still holds up.
General Grant has improved since
last former advices, and has hope
full chance of living through the
summer. France has taken umbrage
at Egypt for the suppression Of n
French paper at Cairo, and unless
she gets the satisfaction demanded Il
new element may appear in the
Egyptian chaos. Cholera threatens
to fearfully scourge Spain, it having
obtained strong foothold. The
trouble in the Canadian Northwest
looks more serious. For details of
the matters mentioned, and other
important news, our readers are re-
ferred to the rather large budget
compiled in the short time since the
steamers arrival.

FOREIGN NEWS.
GENERAL GRANT IMPROVING.

On the morning of April 18th,
shortly after DR.. Douglas issued his
first bulletin, General Grant called
for writing material, and wrote the
following bulletin: ''The doctor
tells me am better this morning. l
am better than | have been in two
weeks. U. S. GRANT"
The General read the morning
papers, and on the above day walked
more than he had for several days.
He required less morphia than usual.
1t was said by gentleman intimate
with the Generals position, that he
might live two or three weeks, or
even months. If he survived till the
early part of summer he would like
ly be taken out Of the city to the
mountains, or possibly to California.

about the end of February to bring
on a conflict with the Afghans and
state that Gen. Komaroff started
from Merv with re-enforcements
for Pul-i-Khisti and took advantage
of favorable opportunity to make
an attack soon after his urrival at
the latter place.
RUSSIA SUPPORTS HER GENERAL.
The Gar and official press of
Russia sustain the conduct of Gen.
Komaroff. He and the officers un-
der him have been complimented
and decorated for their action.
THE EXPLANATION IN ENGLAND.
The tone of the English press
seems to indicate that the question
of the moment hinges upon the
truth of Komaroff's statement that
the Afghans began the fight. There
is pretty credible evidence that the
statement is without satisfactory
basis. 1t is supposed the. Russian
Minister Of War shaped the Cen
erals telegram. Instructions have
been telegraphed Sir Peter Lums-
den to transmit to London as quick
ly as possible his report and that of
Capt. Yates of the conflict on the
Kushk river. At the various mill
tary and naval stations preparations
of war are continued and vigorously
made. Replies were expected on
the 23rd.
NEWS FROM THE FRONT.
Sir Peter Lumsden has occupied
a strong position at Tirpul. He is
believed now to be able to prevent
the Russians from attempting a
coup de main.
A st. Petersburg report of April
18th was that the Afghans made an
attack on the Russian outposts.
News has been received at Tehe-
ran from Askabad, 18th, that Rus
sian troops to the number of As, 900
were on the march to Sarakhs.
LATEST.
In the House of Commons, April
18th, Gladstone stated that word
had been received from Sir Peter
Lumsden, which showed that there
was nc confirmation of the report
that the Russians had advanced to
the Murghab river after the battle Of
Penjdeh. Continuing, Gladstone
said that the result of the Govern
ment's communications with Russia
concerning the reported advance
amounted to the renewing of Rus.
sia's assurance that no such advance
will occur if the issue of contrary
instructions can prevent it.
Afghanistan has given permission
for English troops to pass to the
front, and Persia has granted cor
responding privilege in her territory
to Russia.
War preparations are going on il
both countries with increased energy
A Daily Meas editorial of Apri
18th says: The situation shows ;
more peaceful tendency, but thougl
the intentions of Russia are goot
now, we cannot assume that the,
will be carried out. Events hav'
simplified England's task. If wa
is to be avoided it must be show
that the Afghans and not the Rus
SLAMS are blamable for the recen
collision, and also that Komaroff'
action is no part of the Russian
policy. Then there must be no fur
ther Russian advance. If Russia i
as anxious for peace as England is
peace ought to be secured.

| ASIATIC CHOLERA IN SPAIN.
The Spanish Government has been
forced to admit that the mysterious
disease which made its appearance
some weeks ago at San Felipe de
Jativa, in Valencia, is Asiatic cho-
lera. While the Government, on
the strength of statements by the
doctors, denied that it was such, the
terrible disease has spread from San
Felipe de Jativa to Alcocer, Villa
nueva de Alcoer and Manuel, in the
province of Valencia, which is on
the eastern seaboard of Spain.
Thence it is being carried by ship
ping to Port Genovese, in Almera,
at the southeastern corner of the
peninsula, to Malaga, on the south
ern coast, and even to Mahon, on
the island of Minorca, and to other
ports in the Balearic islands. The
whole seaboard is seriously threat
ened. The municipal and provin-
cial authorities are at last aroused
to active measures of prevention and
relief. Lazarettos are being pro-
vided, rations and supplies of medi-
cine are being distributed to the
destitute and volunteer relief COM
mittees are furnishing delicacies and
nurses to the sick. A three-days'
quarantine has been ordered at Mar
seilles, France, against arrivals from
Spain, on account of the suspected
prevalence of cholera at Spanish
ports.

FRANCE AND CHINA.

Orders to cease hostilities were
sent from Paris to Admiral Courbet
and General Delisle on the 10th inst.
The French troops were still en-
barking for Tonquin on the 18th.
The Official Gazette of Peking on
April 14th was to have published an
imperial decree, ordering the exc
cution of the preliminary treaty of
peace between France and China.
Dispatches received in London
from Shanghai, on that date, how
ever. state that there is hitch in
the final arrangements for the exc
cution of the definite treaty of peace
between France and China, owing
to some concessions which China
asks and which Patenotre, French
ambassador, refuses to grant.
General Delisle, in an order of the
day to the French troops, attributes
the recent reverses to the transfer of
the command, in consequence of
General Negrier's wound, to hands
unprepared to undertake the charge,
and expresses surprise that the
enemy did not venture to pursue the
French.

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.
KOMARoFF's EXPLANATION.

The official Messenger of st.
Petersburg has published telegram
from General Komaroff, dated April
1st. He states that when his detach-
ment approached Dashkapri on
March 25th, they say an intrench-
ment occupied by Afghans. To
avoid conflict he placed his troops
over three miles from the Afghan
troops. Negotiations with Captain
Yate (of Sir Peter Lumsden's force)
began on the 26th. When the
Afghans became convinced the Rus
slams were not going to attack them
they daily drew nearer the Afghan
camp. On the 9th the Afghans
sent reconnoitring expedition out,
and on the next day occupied
commanding position on the left
flank of the Russians. son the
29th," says the General, 1 sent the
Afghan commander an energetic
summons to evacuate the left bank
of the Kushk river and the right
bank of the Murghab as far as the
mouth of the Kushk. He replied
that, acting on the advice of the
English, he would not retire beyond
the Kushk. then sent him private
letter couched in amicable terms.
On the 30th, in order to support my
demand, l marched with my detach-
ment against the Afghan position,
still expecting a pacific issue, but
fire from the Afghan artillery and an
attack of their cavalry compelled me
to accept q combat"
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
A rumor is current that the con-
flict was brought about by Afghans
interfering with Russian officers who
had come as on escort with English
officers who had been dining with
Russian officers. One of the latter
was taking advantage of the occa-
sion in the Afghan camp, to take
notes of the Afghan position, when
the Afghans tried to take away the
book, struggle ensued and shot
was fired, from which side is not
known. The Russians hurried back
to their camp, the troops were called
to arms and advanced against the
Afghans next morning.

mailed at Berlin in order to escape
the Russian censorship, charge the

FACTS.

Those contemplating a trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
snlt the time tables OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change Of
,ars tc Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa,
R.,usas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota,
uvc. No other line can offer such advan.
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-Its
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to tie saving of much of both as we'll as
money. Above all things do not pur.
