ST.. PETERSBURG. April 14.-The Impe-
rial arsenals at Kronstadt and elsewhere
are being worked to their utmost capacity

arms and ammunition for immediate SER
vice.
LONDON. April 14.-Advices from Tepaul
state that news has been received there that
the Russians are advancing along the line
of the Murghab river, in the direction of
Penjdeh. There is apparently no reason
why the Russians should not soon be under
the vaults of Herat.
BERLIN, April 14.-It is reported that q
council of war has been held at st. Peters
burg, at which the Gear presided, and that
the Gear has appointed General Komaroff
issued orders to push $4,000 men forward
to the Afghan border.
TEHERAN, April 14.-The Russian Lega-
ton is strenuously interceding for the re-
lease of Ayoub Khan, ex-Ameer of Afghan
istsn, who was arrested by the Persian au-
thoritie, a few days ago.
LONDON, April 14.-The stock market
was unusually quiet this morning. The
Russian explanation of the late battle does
not seem to increase the feeling that there
will be no war; on the contrary the general
opinion upon the streets seem to be that
the action of Russia since that battle has
largely decreased the chances of u peaceful
settlement Of the difficulty. Consols,
which closed Saturday night at 951s,
opened this morning at 95, and at this
hour are still lower. at 944 for both &C
| counts. This is the lowest point touched
in many years.
New YORK, April 14.-An employe Of
| the National Line Steamship Co. states
that the English Government has bought
the American outright, paying f250, 900
for her.
LONDON, April Al P. M.-The Cabi-
net meeting. the m for which was
issued yesterday, is now in progress.
N%othingiis known positively in regard to
the character of the deliberations, but the
war question is believed to be absorbing
the attention of the Ministers, and the re-
suit of the Council is awaited with anxious
eagerness.
Instructions have been telegrsphed to
Sir Peter Lumsden to transmit to London
as quickly as possible his report and that
Of Captain Yates of the conflict on Kushk
river.
At the various military and naval sta
tons preparations for war are continued
vigorously.
LONDON, April 14.-Gladstone, in the
House Of Commons this afternoon, stated
that the, Government, upon receipt from
Russia of General Komaroff's explanation
of the Penjdeh incident, te~legraphed to
Sir Peter Lumsden for information as to
the correctness of the Russian command
er's justification Of his conduct in attack
ing the Afghans. Glandstone also an
nounced that the Government had re-
ceived q full report Of the communica-
ions which had passed between Earl
Dufferin, British Viceroy Of India, and
Abdur Rahman Khan, Ameer of Afghan
istan, in the councils recently held between
them at Rawul Pindi. These commune
cations, the Premier added, were entirely
satisfactory to the Government, ex-
planning the delay Of the Govern
ment in reaching the final decision with
Russia. Gladstone said the report of the
Russian officers who took part in the
Pepjdeh battle, and those of the English
officers who witnessed the engagement,
differed so materially in substance and in
effect that the Government felt obliged to
make an independent inquiry. This was
proceeding now, and the Government were
doing everything in their power towards
ascertaining the facts.
Gladstone also stated in the Commons
that General Komarof's report of the
recent battle bstween the Russians and
Afghans had been telegraphed to Sir Peter
Lumsden. but no reply had as yet been re-
ceived from the British Commissioner.
