DUB SUNDAY CABLE LlgrTER.
LONDON, May Tonight the Anglo
Russian situation Is one of uncertainty.
There Is absolutely no War news, no
peace news and no news Of truces. No
one-that is, no one outside of minis
tsriai circles-is warranted in drawing
amy conclusion from this abnormal con-
dition Of sffairs. 1t should be borne iu
mind that mp to this moment Russia has
given the Saxon reader not an itam Of
news. Russia has acted, has advanced,
has vaged battle. has taken territory,
bat has said nothing. England has
done all the talking and has made all
TIE explanations, hence the Gar has
had no retFacti0ns to make; but Glad
stones necessity for making excuses
has bean 90 supreme that in the effort
10 talk against blows last Monday he
succeeded, without saying anything, in
making the greatest speech of bis life,
and for making it got completely
siieneed oppos ition, unlimited credit
and E55 100000 cash, for forty eight
hours after tho Prime Minister'S MR.
vellous oration every lingo" in Eng
land vas q Gladstone NAN, and every
Quaker prayed for him Rs a man of
peace. The war party was ssre that he
meant 10 wipe Russia out Of Asia. The
peace folks said: There is statesman
who realizes the value of human life"
