noteworthy fact that Kakatoff's Massaner

THE RECENT BATTLE.
Russia continues her naval and military
with great energy. Admiral
Sheshtakoff has ordered all torpedoes to be
sent to the Baltic and Black sea. Torpedoes
have just been sunk at the canal bounding
st. Petersburg with the sea. Kronstadt, st.
Petersburg and the palace at Krasnoeseto
are now connected by telephone, SO that the
czar will be informed of every movement in
case of an attack by the English fleet. The
Russian fleet has been in a thorough state OF
readiness since the I'd of April. Kamaroff's
brother, editor of the Russian journal Svet,
announces that Russia intends to send 100,-
900 men to Herat as soon as the English adj
vance to Pischin.
BIsMARcK's OPINION.
Prince Bismarck, in a private converse
sation last night, said he was convinced
there will be no war because of Gladstone's
statement made in the house last Thursday
night. about the Afghans having thrown out
pickets before the Russian advance. The
chancellor assured his friend of the peaceful
disposition of the car and De Giers. The
popular opinion here is that English news
papers have had their mouths stopped.
THE EX-AMEER IMPRISONED.
TEHERAN, April 11.-Ayoub Khan, the ex-
ameer of Afghanistan, who has been residin 6
here for some time on a pension of 81, $50
per month from the British government, has
again tried to leave Persia for Afghanistan.
The British minister has kept close
watch on Ayoub Khan ever since his return
to this city after his attempt several months
ago to leave Persia, and has redouoled his
vigilance since the Russo-Afghan difficulty
began, learning from letters which fell into
his hands that he was planning to escape to
Afghan. The British minister complained
to the shah, and the latter arrested Ayoub
and has confined him in the citadel. Persian
officials have taken possession of Ayoub's
house.
OPINIONS OF THE RUSSIAN PRESS.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 1.-THE Journal
De st. Petersburg, speaking evidently by
official inspiration, comments upon the re-
cent government utterances in the British
parliament upon the Penjdeh incident
as premature. 1t says it thinks it
would have been preferable for
the English ministers to have sus-
pended Judgment until the report of more
information. They should have
acted upon the supposition that it was un-
;lyaJx- bot onnnoipta6 wi n
the intentions of the Russian government
acted
WITHOUT GOOD REASON.
They should have borne in mind that COLI
sions such as that which occurred on the
Kusk are always possible in the presence of
a violent and undisciplined Asiatic popula-
ton. The Penjdeh incident, concludes the
journal, was certainly an untoward event,
because it may adversely affect the negotia-
tons pending between Russia and England,
which still justify the
HOPE FOR PEACE.
The war feeling here is overwhelmingly
strong. The car appeared at the theater last
night The audience, still enthusiastic over
the news from Penjdeh on the general as
sum ption that Gen. KameIatf still had the
the car and shook the building with ap-
plause.
. MUNITIONS OF WAR.
LONDON, April 1.-Two men-of-war be-
longing to the channel squadron now at
Kingston, Ireland, have been ordered to
Portsmouth to take torpedoes on board. 1t
is reported that they will then proceed i'm
mediately to the Baltic. Adyices from
Odessa state that there is great military ac-
tivity in that city. This is manifested not
only by the garrison, but also by other troops
stationed there. Numerous battalions of
Cossacks are reviewing every day. The
garrison at Kertsch is engaged night and
day in fastening the completion Of the
works at that point, and the Touring mills
are worked at their full capacity in their
of provisions.
FOREIGN EXCHANGES UNSETTLED.
PARIS, April 1.-THE bourse closed very
fat There were numerous forced sales. 1t
is rumored that several failures have oc-
Cured.
BERLIN, April 1.-THE bourse here to-day
was unsettled. The market opened hope
fully. Large orders were sent to London to
purchase Russian stocks. These orders were
easily executed, and this fact caused re-
lapse.
RUSSIANS AFTER AMERICAN VESSELS.
WASHINGTON, April IL 1t is stated on
the authority of a naval officer that the Rus
sian minister to the United States has en-
deavored to secure the services Of a naval
officer here in purchasing a number of small

ANXIETY TO SERVE.
The war Office is overwhelmed with officers
of service sent in by army, militia and
volunteer officers. The recruiting depots in
London and in the provinces are daily be-
sieged By men anxious to enter the military
service in view of the prospect OF war with
Russia. Suitable applicants are being ac-
cepted as rapidly as can be arranged. All the
admirals of the British navy have been noti-
fed to hold themselves in readiness
FOR ACTIVE SERVICE.
A special injunction has been sent by the
admiralty TO Vice Admiral Lord John Hay,
commanding the British squadron in the
Mediterran can, to hold himself and bis feet
ready for service. A very determined and
grave position has been assumed by the
English government toward Russia concern
ing the Pepjdeh incident The ministry, it
appears. have been coerced by the aggressive
ness of public opinion into tardy, but evil
