Evarts for Governor of New York

New YORK, Jnne 30.-Mr Evarts' name

tue New York gubernatorial contest that he

with such an adversary requires the nom

unto melted by the Muscovite,
So 1t Is Said.

LONDON, June So dispatch from
Teheran states that the rebel leader. lisa
Khan, one of the sympathizers of the de-
posed ameer, Ayoub Khan, at the head Of a
large number OF followers, crossed the Dor
der from Turkestan into Afghanistan and
marched on the city of Khanabad,
which he captured after desperate and
sanguinary struggle, putting its defend,
ers to flight. The rebels then looted the
place, and procured among other plumber
1000 pounds sterling belonging to the
ameer.
This aid has caused intense excitement
throughout Afghanistan- The Afghans
openly accuse the Russians of having con-
spired at and planned tho raid. Reprisals
are threatened, and it is feared that compli-
cations of a much more serious nature than
have as yet arisen will grow out of this raid.
This news has caused great excitement
throughout London. The foreign Office has
telegraphed Lord Dufferin for the fullest in
formation with regard to the affair, and
should it be proven that the Russian officials
are in any way implicated, a vigorous re-
monstrance will at once be made through
the British representative at St Peters
burg.
There are rumors in diplomatic circles
that England and Germany will form an
alliance to check Russian aggression in the
east The Berlin Post, in an article sup
posed to have been inspired by Bismarck,
hints at something of this kind, and The
Novae Vremya, Of St Petersburg, says
Russia ought not to forget that Salisbury
and Churchill have always been anxious &c
form an Anglo Russian compact against
Germany. The Memorial Diplomatique OF
Paris reports that Salisbury will have an
interview with Bismarck in August.
