Russia had, the Premier admitted, failed to
answer the material part of England's
communication sent on the day of the re-
ceipt of the news of the battle.
Mr.. Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, Conservative,
asked if the Government had been in
formed that the Russians had advanced TO
Murghab river.
Gladstone replied that the Government
has not received any information of the
exact character of that mentioned by Mr..
Bartlett. The Government was aware,
however, that q rumor existed to the effect
that the Russians had made such an ad-
vance. In response to other inquiries,
Gladstone said he expected to soon re-
ceiye further communications about Cen
eral Komaroff's action from De Giers,
Russian Foreign Minister.
LONDON, April 14.--General Komarof's
explanation is regarded as inadequate in
official circles. Earl Granville, British
Foreign Minister, Immediately after the
adjournment OF to-day's Cabinet meeting,
had an interview with Fehmi Pasha,
Special Envoy from Turkey, and Count
Karolyi, Austrian Ambassador.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 1.-THE Official
Messenger to-day publishes a communi-
cation from General Komaroff regarding
the recent battle between the Russians
and Afghans on Kushk river. He asserts
in this telegram that the menacing atti-
tude of the Afghans in advancing so
closely to his lines and occupying several
available positions, together with the re-
fusal of the Afghan commander to pay any
attention to his protests, made him expect
that the Afghans contemplated o night at
tack on the Russian lines.
General Grant.
NEW YORK, April 14.-When DR.. New
man called at 1880 yesterday, he entered
the library next to the Generals room and
shook hands with Mrs. Grant and Mrs.
Sartoris.
Father called the latter, CDR. New
man is here" whereupon the General left
his chair, walked into the library, and
greeted DIR. Newman. He remained a few
moments and then returned to his room
with aremark that the air in the library was
too cold for him. The conversation OF the
household before the General is always
cheerful and pleasant, and the family af-
fairs and every day matters are discussed.
The General is not delirious. He re.
ceived only eight minims of morphia in
twelve hours.
The Generals dream has by letters from
many soothssyers been interpreted to
mean that he will live seventeen days, al
many weeks, and by many others as many
years, the seventeen being the number OF
dollars the General had with which to pay
the duty on the satchel he left on the
wrong side of the fence. The astrologel
| who p~rophesied good days and bad ones
| for the General has thus far been right. II
| was prophesied that if the General passed
| the 31st of March he would live until Sep
TENDER. That remains to be seen.
If the patient lives until Summer, LIE.
| land Stanford will endeavor to take him
| to California in a special car. The prob
| able good results Of the Southern climate
| on the Generals health have been dis
| cussed, Senator Stanford urging that tht
| General would be benefited thereby.
Col. Grant stated that before morphif
was used, his father talked in his sleep oil
semi consciousness. For instance, at one
time he spoke in this way, and said
ss General Wheat, which is your regiment
| Where are your mem" And Col. Gran
explained that at that time his father
| thought he was at the battle of Shiloh
for Gen. Wheat was there and Gen. Gran
thought he was getting his forces into lint
again. This was before morphia was ad
ministered to a great extent. Since ther
the anodyne has been used freely, the Gen
eral has had similar illusions, but, whil'
recalling them, during the dreamy doze OF
waking from sleep by morphia, the recol
lection is not as prompt or vivid.
At 10:45 P. NJ, DR.. Newman left TIT
house and proceeded toward Madison Az
enue to take a car. In response to q ques
ton he said: 81 expect q very anxious
night. General Grant has had a bad day
and / think there has been a recurrence o.
the coughing. DIR. Shrady is in the house
and the General at this moment is quieti!
sleeping"
Dreadful Disaster.
