PEACE,
The Dark War Clouds Roll BY, Dis
closing
ALRIGHT, SERENE AND TRANQUIL SKY
A Dispatch From the Russian General
Says the Opposing Forces
Have Withdrawn.
The SITUATION CRITICAL, HOWEVER.

LONDON, April l7.-General Komarof re-
ports that the Atghsns have evacuated al
the frontier posts, and that the Russian out.
posts occupy their former position. General
KOmarof states he viii proceed shortly to
inspect his advanced posts.
Earl Duferin, Viceroy of India, in a dis
patch to the home government regarding
the Russo-Afghan boundary question, said
that in his opinion Penjdeh was not worth
lighting for, as the Ameer had for q long
time very little control over the tribes in its
vicinity, and that they were in q continual
series of revolutions.
II appears that the above item originated
in the Central News Agency" This was
the sgency referred to in Earl Granville's
statement in the House of Lords last night,
in which he characterized the news as "un-
authorized and always inaccurate reports"
The rise in eonsulS and Russian securities
10 day is taken as an Indication that war
will not occur. The press and the public
are coming 70 the conclusion that Mr.. Glad
s,ore has entirely deserted his Afghan ally
ard the Ameer will be left to fight his own
battles with Russia. The situation is never
hsless critical, and another meeting be-
tween Afghans and Russians would make
England take decided stand. War prepar-
a'iOus continue both in England and Rus
sis.

Given by the Locked-out GIassblowers at

A ball unparalleled in the history Of
Wheeling, for size, was given last night at
the Arion and Maennerchog halls. The at
tendance at both halls wss simply epor'

density of the crowd being almost an utter
impossibiity. The knowing ones who de-

in the early part Of the evening, and, as
matter Of course, got the best Of it. Tne
most perfect order was maintained at 6o'h
halls. and socially and financially the ball
was the most successful venture of the kiad

excuses that have been committed in the
city of Colon, the authors of which will
suffer the full weight of the law. There is
no fear that these excesses will be repeated
here if all give their unanimous support to

Considerable excitement has been caused
by the announcement that United States
troops are en- route for the isthmus.
Uhloa, who is now in charge ct Aspin-
wall, is the man who is reported to have cut
the cable at BRens Ventura fortnight ago.
He did it to prevent news reaching here OF
his departure with troops for this place.
Three months have elapsed since letters
have been received from the capital
Much Desultory Fighting
has taken place. 1t is said that the Con.
seryatives have captured Buena Ventura
and will advance on this place. Gaitan, in
charge Of the revolutionary forces, is closely
beseiging Carthagena. He has taken pos
session of some Of the principal forts, and
has been shelling the town. 1t is stated
that the shells have burned the greater part
OF the city. The greatest distress prevails
an ong the inhabitants, who are said to be
starving. How long the Government
troops viii hold out it is
i'm ossible to predict. The
American and Englishmen have been OF
gr, atest assistance to the garrison. In fact,
the commander Of one OF the latter Capt.
Curtis OF the Canada was the recipient OF
letter from Gen. Villa, who commands inside
the town, in which he protested in the name
Of human and divine authority, at the Cap
tsin's prohibiting the disembarkment OF

An English steamer, the Alena, sought
to land arms and ammunition at this point
when she was promptly ordered of By a
british cruiser. This aroused the ire OF
Gen. Villa who wrote furious dispatch
containing q declaration of war which re-
ceived no answer from Capt. Curtis.
The United States Man of War Shenan'
doah, Her Majesty steamer Heroine and the
French Frigate Refine Blanche are in this

Hoodlums Blow Up Six Cinnamon with
Giant Powder In Montana,
ANACONDA, MoNT., April IA Chinese
wash-house adjoining the California restau-
rant was blown up BY giant powder yester-
day. Four Of the six Cinnamon who were
in the building were killed, and ftth fatal
ly wounded. The other escaped unhurt.
The building is a complete wreck and
houses in the vicinity were badly shattered:
Itis believed that the outrage was planned
by hoodtums who were recently in Jail on
complaint Of the Cinnamon for breaking
their windows and o,herwise molestiug them.
There is SC much indignation among the
citizens that, If this proves to be the case,
the suilty persons will no doubt be lynched.

Semi. casionaly the story comes iioat
ing to us, says the Gsllipolis Journal about
sn alleged tin mine near Glensood, w.
Va, about eighteen mills below this city on
the Ohio river. A helpless old man named
Robbins, whose face is familiar here, claims
10 have an ownership or lease on the min.
eral lands and has spent year or two IN
10 trying 10 induce capital 10 take hold Of
its production He always carries his pock-
lac on the subject Some time ago he met
Mr.. Miller of this city. who is an old tin
miner, and produced to him his specimens.
Mr.. Miller quickly pronounced it lin ore,
and knowing that ther wasn't tin mine
in the United States and very few in the
world, inquired from whence 1t came.
Subsequently Mr.. NJ. visited Glenwood and
said he taw the tin ore in seams
from two inches to four feet in thickness,
and running regularly in thickness as is
usual with tin strata. For some time
Robbins mas made his home in Huntington,
and from Il at point has interested Cincin.
natl capita lists, who have formed large
stock CON any and the shares will be pa,
on the market. The lease covers the min
erals on 10000 acres ot land, on which
many squters have located.
The ore has been assayed and pans out
81 per cent tin. When il is known that
Epel only mine assays 4 per cent. it
will be seen that the Robbins mine is
bonanza.
There bave been some attempts made at
smelling on the ground. and they were
