anxious to learn tho latest Developments
with regard to the Anglo Russian dispute.
The situation up to noon was without
change, and no news tending to improve
or further involve the situation has been
received.
Great preparations are being made at

Aspecial edition Of the Globe has caused
the most intense excitement throughout
the city, The Globe says that II has posi-
tive information that Russia has refused
to accede to Englands request for a mutual
withdrawal Of troops from the disputed ter
ritory in Afghanistan.
The GtObe, in the same authoritiye tone,
further states that in consequence OF this
refusal Lord Granville, Minister for
Foreign Affairs, has sent an ultimatum to
Russia and has demanded that he shallre.
ceive an answer thereto no laterth Mon
day next.
The Globe has, on previous occasions,
succeeded in publishing reliable advance
news, and many are inclined to accept its
presentstatementsin theirentirety. Should
they prove true, II Is difficult to imagine
how . complete ruptur and q subsequent
speedy declaration Of war can be ayerted.
The Gtobe also declares that Earl Gram
vile on the 10th inst. proposed TO Russia
that both Russians and Afghans should
from that portion OF the terri
tory at present subject to dispute and re-
main outside OF 1t during the continuance
Of negotiations then In progress at London.
To this proposal Russia sent no reply
until last Wednesday when she refused to
accede to England's proposition on the
ground that the withdrawal OF her troops
would be source Of humiliation to
Russia. After this answer was received
the Cabinet decided to embody the re-
serves and militia and send the ultima
tum already referred to.
