TIE ANGLO.RUSsIAN DISPUTE.
LONDON, March 50.-A st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Times
says: "Russia's reply was made on the
26 inst. Both Governments desire
TO keep the contents secret. England
has proposed another frontier line.
1t is not known whether Russia ac-
cepts, but official circles rely upon
peaceful compromise. Great irrita-
ton was caused by the preparations
in India, which it is stated, far eX-
coed the Russian preparations. Ev-
crything known here points to the
truth of the assertion of the calm in
difference exhibited by the Russians,
except in the small military circle d.
rectly interested in the Afghan Ques-
ton.

ment in this city in regard to the
Northwest trouble is intense. and to-
night almost reached fever heat.

foot guards, was commissioned to
form a company of sharp-shooters
from the regiment to leave to-mor-
row at noon for The Northwest, and
he has been successful in obtaining a
sufficient number of volunteers.
Capt. Scott has been commissioned TO
form corps Of 300 men in Manitoba.
To-day he secured fifty men at Por-
lage and LaPrarie, and telegraphed

requisite number.
QUEBEC, March 20.-The feeling
here is that Riel has a much deeper
object i'll view than that of the half |
breed uprising, and that his present
action is only for the purpose of
lrawing off the militia from the
frontier to allow the fenians, whom
he is closely connected with, TO widen
heir scope of operations.
THE CENTRAL AMERICA scRnIMAGE.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Informa-
ton has been received here to the eff
feet that movement is on foot to
overthrow the government of Hon
luras, and to form an alliance of the |
people of that country with the peo-
de of Nicaragua, Costa Rica and San
Salvador against Gen. Barrois' gov
eminent. 1t reported to have origi-
mated with Marco Aurelia Soto, a
former president of Honduras, now
in New York city. Since
Darrios' announcement of his inten-
lion to make himself su-
preme military chief of
Central America, Soto is said to
have been quietly at work trying to
break the alliance of Honduras with
Guatemala. His negotiations have
been carried on through general of
The former county, with whom he
has an intimate acquaintance. The
people of Honduras, it is understood,
are opposed to Darrios and are only |
waiting for an opport unity TO break
away from him. They are therefore
willing to join the force in Nicaragua
in an attempt to overthrow their own
present government. The Nicara-
guam forces, it is asserted, will
number five thousand or more.
md will cross the border line of Hon
luras and aid in the revolution.
With the addition of the opponents of
Barrios in Honduras, it is said that
IN army of $4,000 men can be raised
,y the states which are allied in the
to the pretensions of the
president of Guatemala.
