ENGLANDs POSITION.


a CABLE LETTER GIVING ALL THE DE
TAILS OF THE STU ALTON.
London, April 1.-THE conser va
tives have resolved to strongly oppos,
the Egyptian loan of $4,000 ,OOt
provided for in the Internationa
Egyptian Financial convention, when
the measure comes tor action in pnr
lament, and they will endcayor Ia
make their opposition vigorous by
| obstructive tactics.
The war office is overwhelmed
with offers of service sent in
by army, militia, and volunteer
officers. Recruiting depots in
London and in the provinces are daily
besicgcd by men anxious to enter
military service. In view of the pros.
poet of war with Russia, all suitabl,
applicants are being accepted rs rap.
| idly as can be arranged. Alladmiral,
of the British navy have been notified
to hold themselves in readiness for
active service, and special injunctions
have been sent by the admiralty to
Vice-AdntfIEal Lord Johu Hay, com
mandiug the British squadron in the
Mediterranean, to hold himself and
his fleet ready for service.
A very determined and grave posi-
ton has been assumed by the English
government against Russia, concern
ing the Penjedeh incident. The min
istry. ii appears. have been coe, cedby
the aggressiveness of public opinion
into u tardy, but evidently determine
ed attitude of pugnacity. At
first Mr.. Gladstone satisfied himself
with demanding of Russia an
explanation of Gen. komarofl's
attack upon the Afghans. lie felt
sure, ii is stated, that Russia was sin
ccrely DESTROYS of peace and would
discOuItenancc the action of the COM
mander. no matter how thoroughly
he might have represented the belli-
cose policy of the st. Petersburg war
party, but when the car answered
that lac would explain to England as
soon rs komarof explained
TO him, the British premier was
forced to conclude that the
car was trilling to gain time. To-
day, therefore, Earl Granville, the
British foreign minister, advised Bar
onDe Staal, the Russian ambassador
to London, that the British govern
ment had decided that whatever the
nature of the Russian explanation of
Gen. komarot7s action might be.
Great Britain would not allow anv
discussion concerning the delineation
of the Afghan frontier to go on until
the Russian troops have been
withdrawn from their present
outposts in the disputed territory
back 10 the positions which they oc-
cupicd when England appointed her
part of the Commission to adjust the
Afghan frontier As this was nearly
year ago, and as almost all of the
Russian advance has been made in the
interval, it is difficult to believe that
Russia Will seriously attempt to reach
an amicable understanding.
Count Won Munster, the
German ambassador to Lon
don, is given as authority
for most significant utterancc
on the part of the British minister.
The German minister states that at a
conference upon the Afghan situa-
ton, held yesterday, Earl Granville
declared that England had resolved
tina ii was impossible to consent to "a
continuance OF the diplomatic discus
sion with Russia unless England was
guaranteed security against having
| the results of the controversy imper-
| illed by collisions on the disputed
frontier, such as had occurred on the
kushk. England, Lord Granville
said, must refuse to accept Russia's
assurance that she desired peace, un'
less the assurance was accompanied
by withdrawal OF troops by lin,
drawn from Tepe to Sare Yaze.
At the German and Russian en-
bassies here the opinion is expressed
that the dispute between the CzaI
and Great Britain has actually reach
ed its final phase in diplomacy.
NJ. De Giers, the Russian prim
minister, through Baron d.
Staal, has offered to abandon
the Russian proposal to exten,
the line of the debatable zou,
proposed by England,so rs TO includ
the Parapanissau mountains AN
I return to the line suggested in N
Lessar's proposals. This otter on tn
part of the Russian premier, Will
: apparently containing concession,
i considered to be really ruse to moo
ify the effects of Gen. Komaroirs a
: tack and to gain time. The Lesss
i line, while within the Parapamissa
c line would hardly be acceptable I
England's statesmen, although I'll
proposal could be made to appear {
British public as retreat on Ii
part of Russia.
As Granville's demand for the will

C St. Petersburg after the report of y
