THE BRITISH FLAG LOWERED
PULLED DOWN BY THE GERMANS.

THE ENGLISH coNsUIs PROTEST IUNHEFDED.
LONDON. March 9.-Letters from Madeira state
that advces from the West Coast of Africa are to
the effect that the Germans have hauled down the
B.itsh flag and hoisted the German at Victoria,
the English mission town, situated at the head of
Ambas Bay, adjoining on the south the CameroOns
territory Mr.. White the English Consul, pro-
tested against such action. but his opposition was
unheeded Mr. White then started down the Old
Calabar on special steamer to the nearest British
station to report the affair to his Government.
Victoria formerly belonged to the English
Baptist Missionary Society. The society purchased
the site from the natives, but desiring to be relieved
Of the task of governing the plac, handed the ter
ritory over to England. Mr.. Hewitt, the British
Consul, acting under orders from the home Govern
ment sent to him by Earl Granville annexed Vic
toria TO the British Empire IN July 1884.
In the House of Commons this evening Lord
Edmund fitzmaurice. IN reply to question by
Mr. Lab0nchere, read letter from Earl Granville,
concerning the recent colonial controversy with Ger
many. In this Lord Granville says he has good
reason to hope that this friction is thing of the
past" The reading of the letter was received with
cheers.
received Prince Bismarck's dispatch of May o,
which, he says, was evidently private and intended
for Count Won MINISTER'S Guidance in dealing With
the general political situation. Shortly after May
Count yon Munster and Count Herbert BIS,
marck told Earl Granville that Germany would
be unable to maintain friendly attitude IN rela-
tion 10 Egyptian IN tiers if England continued un-
friendly on colonial questions. Earl Granville
denied that England was uufriendly
and gave positlye assurance of
future friendly action. with which
Prince Bismarck was satisfied. The tension which
has since arisen has resulted from difference OF
opinion as to whether the assurances made by
Earl Granville have been kept or broken. The
reading Of Earl Granville's letter lett bad
impression, as 1t was considered an Inadequate ex-
position of his denial of the receipt of Prince
BIsmarck's dispatch and conveyed hint that
[ ount Herbert Bismarck, at that time Secretary OF
the German Embassy, had suppressed the commu-
nicatiOp.
Robert Bourke. who was Under Foreign Secretary
in the Dsrasli Ministry will soon introduce mo-
ton for the production Of dispatches. in order to
verify the statement that Prince Bismarck had
been asked to advise England how to deal with
Egypt.

AN OFFER FROM RUSSIA TO ENGLAND.


CONCENTRATING TROOPS IN CENTRAL AsIA-sIk
PETER LUMsDEN's MOVEMENTS.
LONDON, March GA St. Petersburg dispatch to
The Times says that the Russian Government has
sent an official offer to England to withdraw the
Russian frontier from the hills bordering on Herat.
but states that it will retire the troops from the
positions occupied at Herr Rud or Penjdeh, which
Russia claims are essential to effectual hold on
the TurcOmans.
Late advices show that there can be no doubt
that Russia is rapidly concentrating troops in Cen
tral ASIA. An active dIslOcatiOn. or breaking up
of the smaller, scattered and uuimportant military
posts is advancing, additional guns and men are
beug sent to the Central Asian batteries, and
troops are moving IN from the Caucasus.
The Netrs says: "Shoud the struggle come, it
will be the colonies to the rescue and their re-
cent patriotic fervOr has shown that they will not
be called upon in vain."
The Times this morning in its leader urges Eng
land to occupy and fortify Herat at once, and to
check the Russian advance toward the interior of
Afghanlstan at any cost. 1t says that II Russia
wishes to fight, England is not only ready but
willing and Russia has only to say the word.
The Russian batteries of horse artillerylin Turkcs-
stan and along the Afghan frontier have been in
creased to six guns each.
NJ. Lessar has been instructed to remain In Lon
don another week.
Sir Peter Lumsden has been instruct
ed to withdraw the Afghan forces
from Penjdeh. NJ. de Giers, Russian
Minister of Foreign affairs has offered to withdraw
the Russian troops from Zulficar and Akrobat dur
ing the deliberations Of the Frontier Commission
provided Earl Granville accepts the prin-
clples of delmtatiOn proposed through
NJ. Lessar, which will virtually be o
concession Of the Russian requirements, as detailed
in recent st. Petersburg despatch to The Times
1t Is probable that these proposals will be ac-
cepted.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 9.-The reported project
to send an army from Baku to the Afghan frontier
grossly exaggerated to the size of the army.
The number proposed is not $4,000 men, but $500.
TEHERAN, March 9.-Sr Peter Lunsden the
British Commissioner on the Afghan from tier ques-
| ton, and his surveying party have encamped at
Zurabad on Persian territory. Sir Peter has sent
| to Mesned, tae capital of KhOrassan, for large
| amount of supplies. Several members OF his com.
mission have taken quarters in Meshed.
| PARIS, March 9.-The Russian Artistic Club gave
a concert last night whicn was largely attended by
| the Russian resi- ents of Paris The relations be-
| tween Great Britain and Russia were the subject
| of an animated discussion. lhe majority OF those
present ex pressed delight at the diminished tension
between the two countries. The trouble, In thelT
| opinion, was due to the Russian military party.
| The general hope was that war might be averted.
