paratIons Partially Explained.
NEW YORK. Oct. pa dispatch
to the Tribune from London says:
everybody is asking why an immense
body of reinforcements is going out
when every bulletin Of victory from
Natal proves that n more moderate
force would suffice. That Is a mystery
as dense as Londons black fog. There
Is glImmer Of light from Paris. where
1t Is rumored TINT the Russian troops
will not occupy Herat prematurely
with the Ameer's consent. Well In
formed men were asserting last night
that these vast preparations were not
meant as grand parade, but were u
wise precaution, rendered necessary by
the possibility that Russia would take
advantage OF the occasion and make
another advance on western Afghania-
tan, where full control could be secured
over Persia. With British army corps
on the grounds Of South Africa and In
readiness for service In India or At
ghanIstan, these witnesses were ready
to testify that Russia would not ad-
vance on Herat. The magnitude Of the
British ornaments for campaign
against the burghers of the two petty
republics is evidently creating in Eu-
rope what Carlyle described as an at
mosphere electric with suspicion.
Those who are behind the scenes in
European diplomacy at the present mo-
ment and well aware of the intriguing
now taking place between France and
Russia and the intention, II possible, to
take advantage OF England's difficulties,
very much doubt II the intrlgues are
checked by British successes in Natal
and on the western border Of the
Transvaal and the Free State. The
British government Is perfectly inform
ed of what is passing and has not hesi-
tated to make very swift preparations.
naval and otherwise. The French Med
iterranean fleet of six battleshlps and
several cruisers left for the Levant,
where It has not shown itself for two
years.
This may or may not be connected
with the schemes above noticed. Moth
Ing would be easier than for the Rus
sian Black sea fleet to join 1t passing
through the Dnrdanelles.
The British channel squadron Is NOV
ing to Gibraltar, and an ample convoy
Is being sent with the British trans
ports The authorities at the various
English naval ports have been warned
to be in readiness to send n strong
squadron to sen and several cruisers
are now only waiting an order to mobll-
iZe. With the militia reserve called out
and the militia embodied never was the
English nation more ready.
