The anger of the Russian Press al
the occupation of Port Hamilton ia
not unnatural. They both attach
great importance to their position at
the mouth of the Amoor, the only port
they possess in the open water, and
keep a feet there which, rs they
think, dominates the North Pacific;
and might threaten Australia. 1t was
not of much use in the last Russian
war: but il escaped safely from
Admiral Elliott, through it is believed
it's officers knowledge of the then
un~urveyed waterway between Sag
halien and the mainland. The quick
road outwards for this feet lies, how
ever, through the Straits which sepa-
rate Corea and Japan and, by TAX
ing possession of the islet of Port
Hamilton, under some grant, we pre-
sumo, from Japan, the British do'ni-
nate this Strait, and will be able to
watch all Russian Naval movements.
The Russians, therefore, demand the
evacuation of Port Hamilton, which,
however, the Admiralty, under the
circumstances, is not likely to con-
cede. There ma, be points, like the
defence of Singapore, on which the
First Lord is too con6ding, but the
situation is studied more closely than
irresponsible critics are aware

Sir Peter Lumsden's criticism on
General Komaroffs account of the
battle of Pul-i-Khisti was re-
ceived in London on Tuesday, and
published on the following day. Sir
Peter declares the Russian account sin.
correct" The left bank of the Khush
has always been Afghan, and the APP
proach of the Russians and Afghans
towards each other was due to the
Russians only, though "the continued
and irritating daily attempts to excite
hostility convinced the Afghans ofRus-
sian determination to provoke a con-
hict, and induced them to ex.
tend their defensive position" On
the 9th, Colonel Alikhanof with his
cavalry pushed past Pul.i-Khisti and
actually appeared four miles in the
rear of the Afghan position, where he
was intercepted and warned to re-
tire, 1.-THE Afghans did all they
copldlto avoid a collision, and it was
solely owing to their patience and
forbearance during two months of in

1t is believed that II despatch, re-
curing the Russian Government to
disavow General Konaroff, has been
addressed to ST. Petersburg but it is
answered in advance by the st.
Petersburg Gazette, an official jour
n,l The Russian Government con.
siders that Sit Peter Lum-den derived
his information from Afghals, and
therefore adheres firmly to the ac-
counts OF its own officers, and will
decline all apology or explanation.
This means, of course, war; and
although there may still be some
delay, tn coolest observers have
nearly surrendered their last hopes of
peace. The Russian journals have
evidently received a hint to prepare
the public mind, and dwell on the
necessity of seizlng Herat with such
accord that the iuea is probably in
spired. In that case the seizure of
Herat has been ordered, and we ought
in the course of next week to hear
the result Of the attempt. The news
would be SEM to Que'ta AMI Cabul
at once, and ought to reach the nearest
Indian telegraph station in four days
at furtheSt. 1t is, of course impoS.
sible for English troops to pre-
vent the attack, and the only hope
of foiling it rests in the courage
with which the Afghans may defend
the city. 1t is wretchedly prepared !;
but with walls to defend, and no
heavy artillery against them, the
Afghans should fight well.

In view of all these circumstances,
and probably of many more not yet
known to the public, Mr. Gladstone
on Tuesday demanded a War Credit
of eleven millions. He read himself
in the Lower House, and Lord Gran
vile read in the Upper House. an
identical paper, stating that the Gov
eminent required $4,000, 900 for past
operations in the Soudan, and for
railway works at Suakim and Berber.
They intended, however, while hold
ing the port on the Red Sea, and the
interior as far as Sinkat, and the Nile
up to Wady Halfa, to give up the
idea of an early advance on K%hartoum;
and with the Army of the Soudan,
strengthened by a force from Eng-
land, to form a reserve for India, IN
addition to the reinforcements called

cessant irritation that peace has been
preserved so long. AS to the state
ment that General Komarof's ultima
tum was rejected UPON English advice,
the Afghan answer is given textually,
aud is as follows :-"l have duly
received your letter regarding the
withdrawal Of certain pickets. AS /
have received orders from the Go.
vernon of Herat TO consult Captain
Yate, who has been deputed to Penj-
deb by Sir Peter Lumsden, in such
matters, | showed him your letter.
Captain Yate afterwards had an in
terview with Colonel Zakrchewski,
and informed ME of the conversation
which had taken place between them.
Be it known to We that | must loyalty
obey the orders | have received from
his Highness the Ameer. | can in
no way do anything contrary to the
orders Of my Sovereign. Of course, in
matters Of detail, such as alterations
of positions Of advanced pickets and
vedettes posted in front of the troops
am prepared to come to an arrange
ment with We with Il view to the
avoidance of any risk of conflict
The return to that polite reply was
II second note, followed in a few
hours by the Russian attack.

This impression was deepened on
Thursday, when, in reply to various
questions, the Premier refused all in
formation, because 1.-THE Government
is engaged in a correspondence Of ex-
treme gravity" The House, of course.
very properly supported this decision,
more especially as it was clearly in
formed that no reticence would be
preserved as to the Soudan; and ito
self-control will be appreciated by
the country. At the same time, we
trust that the necessity for this re-
ticence will not last much longer,
There are disadvantages in secrecy
as we'll as advantages, and an abso-
lutte refusal of information diminishes
the heartineSs of popular support. In
particular, it may be questioned
whether the cloud which covers the
relations between India and the
Ameer might not expediently bS
lifted. At present there is u notion
abroad shat the Amter hesitates 10
permit a British advance through At
ghanistan, aud even declines to sc-
cept English aid in repairing the
Notifications of Herat. That impress
sion must be in its essence unbound.
ed but its existence causes much
anxiety, and a depressing doub'
whether under such circumstances, it
is possible to touch Russia. The fog
will be lifted the moment the final
decision is made but q fog does NOT
raise the spirits OF men who are listen.
ing for the cannon Mr.. Gladstone
on Thursday appeared sensible Of
this himself, and we trust that next
week he will De able, if Russia still
refuses to recede, TO place the whole
truth more clearly before tho country.

for by the Viceroy. A whole Corps

as a reserve. A sum of fh0O, 600 will
be wanted for the transport Of this
Corps d,Armee, and $4,000, 900 for

E4.OO0,O00 will be for military and
$4,000, 900 for naval charges. Mr.
Gladstone never mentioned Russia,
and ended with a hope that peace
might be preserved; but the House
fully understood his meaning, and
when he sat down all men felt that
