New YORK, Sept. 6.-The Times Lon
don cable letter tonight says: For fort
night the papers have been printing con-
gratulatory things on the settlement Of the
Zulfkar pass difficulty and all England has
been ostensibly felicitating herself on the
implied assurance OF peace; but there has
been an underlying uneaSineSS all the time
which the fact that the Woolich arsenal
has been working day and night
has not tended to deminish. To-day the
detailed story in the chronicle Of Russian
aggression and an Afghan route on Afghan
territory have revived all the old fears.
The source is not specially reliable, but the
dispatch seems TO have come from Allaha-
had straight enough. and the story is too
circumstantal to be merely bazaar rumor
The action Of the governor of
Herat in releasing Russian prisoners fits
in suspiciouSly well with his recent anti
English intrgues and it is easy TO under
stand how the news has created blaze of
excitement in India. Its effect on Herat
and on the Ameer can only be guessed at
RS vet, but there is no doubt that the minis
ter here. if that story should prove true,
would take very stiff attitude and exact
both reparation and a guarantee for the
future.
TIRE FRENCH MINISTRY
is doing all it can to prevent French eX-
pressions of sympathy with Spain, fearing
an ENHANCEMENT with Germany. But it is
practically powerless. NJ. Ferries paper,
The Paris, however, which is the same one
that prOfited so handsomely on the bOuse
by the ministers tip on the Chinese peace,
grasps its chance to make capital by cheer
ing for Spain and demanding the expulsion
of Germans from France as an
answer to the expulsion of Mr.. Rotham
from Alsace. This has pleased the Paris
fancy immensely, and may lead to Mr.
Ferry's return to power. The feeling on
the AlSace matter is very deep, and a deep
plan has been adopted for the return Of
two AlSatian residents of Paris to the cham
Der of deputies from Paris districts, who
shall be tacitly treated in the chamber as
representatives of. the last province. In
the same breath it is learned from Berlin
that Prince Hohenlohe, the new governor,
is to go to StraSburg to change Count Man
teufule and benevolent rule, and enforce
the hardest kind of repreSSive measures. 1t
needs no alarmist to fOrsee that the signs
and probabilities are near to an outbreak of
the old quarrel across the Rhine, with Spain,
now as she was fifty years ago, the nomi-
nal
PRETENT FOR WAR.
The Radicals will make a determined
fight against the Duke of Edinburgh's COM
ing appointment to the command of the
whole navy, which is understood to be the
precursor of the Duke of Cambridge's
resignation of the command of the army
in favor of the Duke of Connaught.
In thus carrying out the prince
consort's policy the queen is likely
to hear the plainest talk of the whole reign.
The papers are ridlculing Prince Henry of
Battenberg, who, by the queens command,
dressed in tartan and kilt at the Balmoral
festivities and then had to leave the ground
prematurely because his knees were
cold. Lord Braye nearly a week
ago had a letter in the Times
three Kingdoms to prepare for grand cele-
bration of the jubilee of the queens reign
ten months hence. There has been abso-
lutely no response or even comment. In
1879 the George III. jnbiee was marked by
unprecedented festivities, the release of
debtors. great professions and vast enthus-
iasm. But things have changed.
THE ONLY NEW THING
about the cholera is successful experiment
with ether vapor at Madrid. The pest has
burned itself out in most districts of Spain,
but ii is increasing at CadiZ and Barcelona.
In France the distinguishing feature is the
mortality among the upper classes, so that
the disease will have to be
called this year the cholera of
the rich. There were 1,23S new
cases of cholera and 797 deaths from the
disease reported yesterday throughout
Spain. Twelve deaths occurred in Toulon
last night The five cases reported at
Novaras, Italy yesterday were among
the troops engaged in manuevers at that
place. Ten more suspicious cases of sick
ness have occurred at Parma, Novara and
Genoa. Cardiff has had a scare in the ar
rival of the steamer Crindon from Barcelona
yesterday. Since then one man on her
has died from a disease which the DOCTORS
after making an examination. have decided
to be Asatic cholera. The man had
drank water from cask which had been
filled at Barcelona, and his death occurred
quickly after he had partaken of it.
Among the remainder of the crew. who
had all passed under the doctors inspec-
ton, no symptoms of cholera were found.
The steamer has been placed in quarantine
and will be thoroughly fumigated.
