The Senators from Pennsylvania and

VERY GRAVE SITUATION.
[By Cable to The Associated Press

[By Cable to The Associated Press
LONDON, Aug. "a. 1S97.-It is admitted
even in official circles that the news from
India is Of the gravest description. All
those who are familiar with the situation
attach the greatest Importance to the
rising of the warlike Afridis, who are
estimated to muster 5000 fighting men.
The Afridis, however, only form a. part
of the insurgents the British must put
down.
A letter from India published in the
standard emphasizes the belief that
the Sultan of Turkey is at the back of
the whole uprising. The writer says
s'The average Mahomedan, even in Brit
ish India, cannot distinguish between the
Greeks and the other European nationali-
ties. To him the Christians of Europe
are all one people and when he learns
that the Sultan has been at war with
the Christians, whom he has utterly de-
feated he understands that this means
an English defeat and exults accord
ingly.'
The afternoon newspapers today conn
ment severely upon the Marquis of Sails
bury's diplomacy. The st. James Gaz-
ette' says
we. who have fifty million Mohamedans
in our Eastern Empire, have chosen to
present ourselves to all the world as the
chief enemy of the Sultan, whom the
great majority of men of that creed look
upon as their head in religious matters.
If we had succeeded in inspiring real
terror. the harm done might have been
less; but what fear can be felt for a
power which, after ringing warnings sis
