Win the Differences Bettreen England and
Russia Hare to be adjusted by the Strord?
London dispatch: The war Office is over
whclmed with offers of service sent in by the
army, militia and volunteer officers. The re-
cruiting depots in London and the provinces
are daily besieged By men anxious TO enter tha
military service in view of the prospect of war
with Russia. Suitable applicants are being
accepted as rapidly as can be arranged. All
the admirals of the British navy have been
notified TO hold themselves in readiness for
active service. A special injunction has been
sent by the admiralty to Vice Admiral Lord
Hayes, commanding the British squadron in
the Mediterranean, to hold himself and his
fleet ready for service. A very determined and
grave position has been assumed by the Eng
lish government toward Russ a concerning tho
,P.nideh incident. The ministry, 1t appears,
have been coerced by the aggresslyeness OF
public opinion into a tardy but evidently de-
termined attitude of pugnacity. AT first Mr..
Gladstone satisfied himself with demanding OF
Russia an eXplanatio on of Gen. komaroffs at
tack upon the Afehans. He felt sure, 1t ii
stated, that Russia was sincerely desirous oil
peace and would discountenancc the action
of their commander. No matter how
thoroughly he might have repres intel
the bellicose policy of the st. Petersburg wal
party. But when the car answered that lie
would explain to England as soon as Gen.
Komsroff explained to him, The British pre-
mier was forced to conclude that the car wat
triaing to gain time. To-day, therefore. Ell
Granville, British foreign minister, advised
Baron De Stasl, Russian ambassador to Lon.
don, that tie Brit sh government bad DECIDED
that whatever the nature tie Russian explains
ton of Gen. Komaroff's action might be:
Great Britain would not allow any further dis
cussion of the delimitation OF the Afghan
fl ontier to go on until the Russian troops have
been withdraw (. ON their PRESENT outposts
in the disputed territory back to he positions
which they occupied at the time England ap-
pointed her part of the commission to adjust
the Afghan frontier. As this was nearly a
year 20, and as almost all the Russian adj
vance has been made in the interval, II Is dif-
.icult to believe that Russia Will seriously at
tempt 10 reach an amicabls understanding.
Count Won Munster, German ambassador to
London, Is given as authority for a most
: significant utterance on the part OF the MIN
listers of the British government. The Ger
man minister states that at a conference upon
me Afghan que stion held W atcrday, Earl
Granville declared that England had declared
that it was impossible to consent to a continu-
ance of diplomatic discussion with Russia un.
less England was guaranteed security against
having the results of the controversy lmper-
illed by collisions on disputed frontier such
events as has occurred on the Kushk, England,
Lord Granville said, must refuse 10 accept
Russ'a's assurance that she desires peace nn'
less the assurance was accompanied with the
withdrawal to a line drawn from Tepi TO Sari-
Yasi. AT the German and Russian embassy
here the opinion is expressed that the dispute
between the car aud Great Bti'ain has actu.
ally reached its final phase in diplomacy. NJ.
De Gierrs, Russian prime minister, through
Baron De Staal, has offered to abandon the
Russian proposal to extend the line of the de-
bltable zone proposed by Enelard d, so as to in
clude the Parapamisous mountains, and recur
to the line suggested in the Lessar proposals.
This offer on the part of the Russian premier,
while apparently containing a conccss on, is
considered to be really used to modify the eff
fects Of Gen. Komarotf's attack and to give
time.
