In the House of Commons to-day Sir
Arthur Deyett, Financial Secretary in
the war office, announced that the brigade
OF Guards now on their way home from
Suakin, had been ordered to stop at
Alexandria in case of circumstances
arising rendering 1t desirable TO further
detain them IN Egypt. They had not,
however, been ordered TO disembark at
Alexandria. This announcement has oc-
casioned much gossip in the lobby of the
House. II is believed that the detention
Of the Guards OIL Alexandria can only be
explained by connecting il with the delay
In the settlement Of the Afghan question.
ARRAIGNING THE GOVERNMENT.
The Marquis of Salisbury, speaking this
evening at the dinner of the Middlesex
Tories, said that it was now quite evident
that diplomacy was useless TO stop the
advance Of Russia toward India. The
right policy now would be to mass all the
available troops in the north of India, and
TO fOrtify the Indian frontier. He up
braided the Liberal administration for it's
waste OF lives and money in the SOudau
campaign, which had resulted only in
humiliating failures, and urged the Tories
TO educate it's new electors who would
exercise the right of suffrage tor the first
time this year under the operation of the
new franchise law.
A DENIAL.
LONDON, May q, A. M.-The DdtIg
Netcs this morning says that the state
ment that Russia demands to have an
agent at Cabul and the complete neu-
tralitY of Afghanistan is not true. No
such demands, it Gays, have been ad-
dressed to the British Government or put
forward In any manner whatever.
RUM0Rs OF A FRESH RUPTURE.
Rumors are current at st. Petersburg
TO the effect that the AnglO-Russian
negotiations have collapsed. IL is be-
leved, however, that the rumors Origi-
mated with the war party. The SUet pre-
diets an outbreak In Macedonia and Bull
garia against the Turks and Greeks
which will set the whole Slavonian world
In flames.
The colonial troops, which left Suakin
on May Is, have been ordered to stop at
Alden.
REGARDED AS oMINoUs.
The morning papers unanimously ex-
press the opinion that the detention Of
the Guards at Alexandria and of the
Australian contingent at Alden is on ac-
count Of the attitude of Russia, and that
there is a serious obstacle In the way of
completing the negotiations Tor peace.
WHERE THE TROOPS WILL STAY.
All the troops from suakin have been
ordered 10 remain In Egypt In accordance
with a telegram from the British Governs
ment. The Guards Will 90 into garrison
at Ramleh, and other troops at Abassiah,
near Cairo.
1t is believed that Russia claims Maru-
chak as being in the PeDdjeh district.
REIEFORCEMENTs FOR HERAT.
Afghan adyices to Calcutta report that
reinfOrcements are continuously going
from Candahar 10 HeTat. It. is expected
that the railway will be completed to
Mutch in 90 days. Material has been
ordered sufficient 10 complete the line TO
Candahar.
The Udiiy Neles says that Premier
Gladstone cannot resign until the Rus
siau and Egyptian questions are settled,
