Lords Granville said the Government had
come to the conclusion that the position
of affairs justified the putting OF the army
and navy and the whole OF the auxiliary
forces of the nation in immediate readi-
ness for service if required. The Govern
ment has asked for a credit Of $55, DOC, 900
for the army and navy accounts; $22, $780,
900 are for war purposes in Soudan and
S32, 500, 900 for other naval and military
preparations.
Earl Morley, Under Secretary OF War, an
nounced that the whole of the first class Of
army reserves had been notified that they
are liable to be summoned for service at

concerning the probable disposition of
troops, stated that Indian troops would be
raised TO hold Soudan, and the British
troops there would be kept in reserve as
an army corps to be called on for military
service in India or elsewhere.
In defiance of her treaty stipulations
with England, Turkey and other powers,
Russia is strongly fortifying Batoum on
the eastern coast of the Black Sea. That
point is now flooded with guns and NUM-
lions of war and a large corps of infantry
and cavalry guards the railway from Poti
and the coast to Titles, the capital of Trans
Caucasis. This railway is of great value
in the transporting Of troops from the
Black Sea to the Caspian, on the way from
European Russia to A~fghanistan.

Emma Nevada.
New YORK, April 22.-Emma Nevada ar
rived from Chicago yesterday morning, &C
~companied by DR.. Wixom, who was so fee
. BILE he had to be carried from the carriage
to the hotel. Nevada, though looking well.
. was evidently much fatigued and begged
' to be excused from an interview. She i'm.
: mediately retired to q suite of rooms in the
" Everett House, where she spent the greater
9 part Of the day sleeping. Manager Palmer
K said to a reporter that Nevada had a very
4 fiattering reception in Chicago, but it was
not to be compared with the ovation she
received in Frisco.
"Will you give me your version of Ne
Q vada's little difficulty with Arditi in Chi
cago?"
"The newspapers exaggerated that
= matter grossly. Arditi is loved by the
8 chorus as well as the principals for his
: uniform kindness aud good nature. The
audience wanted Nevada to sing an en-
core piece. Nevada suggested Home,
Sweet Home to Arditi. Patti sings that
: melody in one key; Nevada in another
Arditi only had PATHS score, and conse-
quently the orchestra could not accompany
Nevada. The audience saw there was some
> hitch and vociferously demanded the song.
d Arditi played it, though not in the proper
. key for Nevada's voice. That's all there
. was of it,"
"whst are Nevada's plans after leaving
New York;"
I "She plays an engagement in Boston and
then goes to London and Madrid to fill en-
gagements there"
"Will she return to California perma-
nently."
"That's too far ahead to look. You'll
have to ask Nevada herself about that"
