AMEER OF AFGHANIsTAN.
His Death Would Endanger Europeans
at CabuI.


LONDON, October 17.-No definite state
ment as to the nature of the lines OF the
Ameer OF Afghanistan can be obtained,
but it is understood that he is suffering
from internal hemorrhage. General Lord
Roberts, who was for many years COM
mander-in-chief OF the British forces in
India, was interviewed to-day in regard
to the probable addition to the Eastern
complications in the event OF the death
of Ameer Abdurrahman Khan, and said {:
"Similar reports of illness, and from
which the Ameer has recovered, have
reached India in years gone by, but the
Ameer is now older and constantly re-
curing attacks OF the gout must have
seriously undermined his general health.
The news doubtless was brought from
Cabul to Peshawur by horsemen, and
was telegraphed from the latter place to
Simla. Should the question of success
sion arise, there will certainly be serious
trouble at Cabul between the opposing
parties, one favoring the succession OF
the elder son, Sardar Haibibulla Khan,
the child of a wife of low rank who has
already held sort OF power at Cabul.
The second party supports the younger
royal wife in the interest of her son, who
is child. Upon a former occasion,
when the Ameer's death was expected,
the royal wife made preparations to
seize the treasury and gain the adhesion
OF the army.
" If the Ameer dies, the Europeans at
Cabul will be in danger from the fanat-
ical hatred OF the Afghans, which is only
suppressed through his personal infin-
ence. Unfortunately there are two or
three English women at Cabul, and their
only means OF escape is a journey of 100
miles to Peshawur, during which they
will be at the mercy OF the Afghans
until they reach Lundikhotal, where
they will be under the protection of the
khyber rifles. The situation is causing
the greatest anxiety to the government
OF India. The summoning OF special
council is very unusual proceeding.
and it is evident that Earl Elgin con-
siders the situation to be grave"
Mr.. Martin, the Afghan agent, said
this evening that he did not expect
immediate trouble in Cabul. Neverthe-
less it would be prudent for the English
residents to leave the city and 90 to the
frontier as soon as possible.

GENERAL MILES REPORT.
How the Troops Acted in Critical
Period.


Period.
WASHINGTON, October 18.-The annual
report of Major General Miles, COM
manding the department OF the Missouri,
has been received, showing the condi-
ton OF affairs in that department in a
remarkably short document, considering
the stormy period Of internal strife COW
cred by it. But Notwithstanding its
breyity it contains some very terse and
significant statements relative to the
strike. On this point it says after re-
citing the work the military was required
to do:
"All OF these difficult duties have been
performed in manner which shows good
judgment and discretion on the part OF
officers and a good state of discipline
and faithful service on the part OF the
troops, and it is believed that but for
their prompt Intervention much blood
shed would have resulted.
1.-The conduct Of the troops in restor-
ing order and confidence where mob
violence and reign OF terror existed in
Chicago was marked by great forbear-
ance, fortitude and discipline, and their
presence and action have verygreatly con-
trlbuted to the maintenance OF civil laws,
and in my opinion saved the country
from serious rebellion in State where
one had been publicly declared to exist
by one most responsible for its exist
ence -

CENTRAL PACIFIC DEBT.


English Stockholders to Send Repre-
sentative to This Country.
New YORK, October 10.-President G.
=. Huntington OF the Central Pacific
Railway Company on being interviewed
on the action of the meeting in London,
which appointed committee to protect
the interests OF English stockholders OF
the company, said:
There are good many shareholders
in Europe, and they have been making
many inquiries as to what is to be done
with the first mortgage and the claim of
the government, a small portion OF which
comes due in 1895. | suggested to them
that they had better send a committee
or some one over to represent the Eu-
ropean shareholders. understand they
have appointed Sir Rivers Wilson for
that purpose. He is II gentleman | do
not know personally, but | understand
he Is very able man, who will thorough
ly comprehend what is for the best in
terests OF the company, and will assist
materially in making terms with the
government and in securing new loan
on the issue OF new sheet of coupons,
secured by the old first mortgage, which
new securities will be sold either TO the
present stockholders or to others, the
oil bondhoders having the preference.
This much has been under discussion,
and seems now to have assumed def
mite shape"

TRIUMPHANT JAPS
They Capture Port Arthur, the
Chinese Stronghold.
AN IMPORTANT NAVAL POINT

The Two Opposing Forces Still Continue
to Face Each Other on the Banks of
the YaIu RIver-Emperor's Father-in-
Law Takes the Chief Command.
SHANGHAI, October 1S.-A report is in
circulation here that Port Arthur has
been captured by the japanese. This
port is one OF the most important Of the
Chinese sLrongholds, and was the place
OF refuge of the Chinese fleet after the
battle of the Yalu river, the disabled
ships having been repaired and refitted
there. 1t commands the entrance to the
Gulf of Pc Chi Ii on the north.
THE EMPERoR's FATmER-IN-LAw.
New YORK, October ia special
from Shanghai says: Fifteen thousand
troops under Field Marshal Oyama are
encamped across Regents Sword Prom
ontory to the north of Port Arthur and
within sight of that naval stronghold.
They are waiting for favorable moment
TO move forward, while outside of the
port the Japanese cruisers are ready to
intercept all retreat southwark. Sung
Kwei, the Emperor's father-in-law, has
reached Shan Hal Kwan, the place on
the Gulf Of Liam Tung where the high
road from the coast to Peking begins.
He takes the chief command, and will
try to prevent the landing OF force OF
the enemy at that port, which possesses
great strategic prominence.
STILL FACING EACH OTHER.
LONDON, October l9.-A dispatch to
the Central News from Wiju, dated Mon
day, says: The two opposing armies
still face each other on the banks of the
Yalu river. The Chinese have not fired
q shot, but are night and day strength
ening their defenses. Count Yamagata,
the Japanese commander-in-ch chief, is
awaiting the arrival OF heavier artillery
before attacking the Chinese position.
Japanese scouts estimate that the Chi.
nese force altogether numbers 35 900
men. The scouts have brought detailed
information as to the condition of the
Chinese defenses, showing that they are
not so strong as first reports indicated.
The Chinese artillery is shown to be less
formidable than the Japanese had sup
posed. A decisive attack is expected
soon. Various indications justify the
belief that the chief stand OF the Chi
nese will be at Kubenchao.
DID NOT CARE TO FIGHT.
LONDON, October 1S.-The japanese
legation has received advices to the ef-
feet that the Japanese transport steamer
Ariaki Maru has arrived at Yokohama
from Hong Kong. A Chinese gunboat
left Hong Kong a few hours before the
Ariaki Maru, but contrary to expecta-
tions made no attempt to engage the
transport.
