PROM ACROSS THE SEA.

Matters Not Looking So Warlike a? During tbe Tast Few Dajs Russia Talks Teace. Nothing of Importance from the Soudan No Advance Yet French Operations Criticised. AFGHANISTAN. Tbe Keception ot lorl DafTerin at KawllFlndl by the Ameer of Afghanistan and the Poujaub Chief. Rawil-Pindi, March 27. Earl DuiTerin, the Viceroy of India, arrived here and was accorded a most imposing reception by Abdurrahman, the Ameer of Afghanistan. The Ameer in his r.ddress of welcome hoped the councils, which the Earl had come so far to attend, would be so guided as to insure an honorable and lasting peace. In reply Lord Dufierin said he was glad his first public act as Viceroy of India was to cultivate friendly relations with the sovereigns of States continuous with the frontiers of India. "I trust," continued Iord Dufierin, "that the friendly reception which is about to be accorded me, as Her Majesty's representative, by the Ameer, will prove to all our neighbors our grin intention and our anxious desire to respect their rights." At the railway depot of Rswil-Pindi there w ere assembled, when the train carrying Lord Dafierin arrived, the Panjaub chiefs, General Stewart, General Robertj, General Harding and a number of other high officials. After an interchange cf cfiicial and personal greetings, Lord Dufierin proceeded to the camp. The route was lined with troops, end the military display was very effective. The soldiers greeted the Viceroy with great enthusiasm, and the authorities of Rail-Findi, later in the day, presented Lord Dufierin with an address, declaring their lovalty to Her British Majesty, the Empress of India, and expressing their appreciation cf the honor done Eawil-Pindi in selecting it as the meeting place cf the council. The address of the Rawil-Pindi authorities corjcluded with the following statement: f "This reccgnition of our dignity will con firm that confidence in us which has been so long established, and which is daily receiving expression from all the rulers ot India." Karl Duflerin responded to the RawilPindi address very happily, and ended by saying: "The offers of loyalty and service made upon this occasion ar9 mo9t eloquent prcofs of Eo-land's steadfast good faith, and the noble confidence of our friends." The Canse of the Calling Out of the Reserves and Mllltla-How the Call Is liecelved. Lonpox, March 27. Great preparation are being made at Aldershot for the reception of the army reserve forces and the militia callr d out by the Queen's message. Quarters are ready at Chatham for a large force. The greatest activity prevails in the Ordnance Department in hastening the armament of vessels ordered for immediate service. Extra hands are employed. All available quarters at Chelsea have been made ready for occupation. It is reported that the naval reserve will be immediately called out for ecrvice. The government has given a contract for 100,000 uniforms. The Globe says that a proposal partaking of the nature of an "ultimatum" was telegraphed by the government to St. Petersburg yesterday. It requested at the same time that the Russian Government ehoald send an answer that would reach Downing street not later than Monday next. The Globe also declares the Earl of Granville, on the l;th inst., proposed to Russia that both Russians and Afghans should withdraw from that portion of territory at prt sent subject of dispute, and remain outside cf it during tha continuation of the negotiations than in progress at London. To this proposal Russia sent no reply until last Wednesday. She refased to accede to England's proposition on the ground that tbe withdrawal of her troops would be a source of humiliation to Russia. After this answer was received the Cabinet decided to embody the reserves aud the militia,and send the ultimatum already referred to. In the 6vent ot war 25,000 militia will be assigned to garrison duty in Ireland, and that number of regulars will be released lor active service. The total reserve forc9 of the English Navy in 184 was 20,300. The Queen's message calling out the reserves and militia for permanent service has been received by tbe country with great enthusiasm. The enthusiasm' is especially marked at the various military stations throughout the kingdom. Everywhere active efforts are being exerted to get barracks ready for ths reserves and have arms and accoutrements at hand to equip them. The immense stores of arms at the tower are ready to be distributed when required. The war feeling is strong among the reserves, and many had already joined the guards before orders summoning them to service were received. IjOspos, March 27. Active preparations are making to get all the available cruisers and ironclads belonging to the navy into a condition for active ssrvice as socn as possible. It is known that tbe destination of the.-e vessels ia the Baltic Sa and the Black Sea. the entrance to the latter, however, baiDg conditioned on the assent of Tarkey. The members of the Third Royal Fasil'erj and Fifth Hille Brigade re responding largely to the Queen's call for volunteers to serve with the regulars. Reinforcements for India to be Sent I ru. mediately. London, March 27. The request for reinforcements by Lord Dufferin, Viceroy of India, states that if war be declared India requires twenty-thret regiments of infantry, three regiments of cavalry, two batteries of field artillery and eighteen batteries of horse artillery to be dispatched to India forthwith. The mobilization committee and transport department are busily engaged in arranging to collect and forward these troops. Several of the swiftest ocean steamers have been chartered for the transport service, including the America and Ariiona. Orders have been sent to the Mediterranean stations to have all

the reaz;res overhauled, to see that the ammunition on hand is up to tbe normal standard in quality and quantity, and f prepare all gunboats and torpedo vessels at the stations for sea service.

More Favorable Prospects of Peace. Loxpon March 27. The subsidence of the stock panio is due to reports that only a limited number of reserves will be called out, and to tbe cessation of orders from Berlin to sell, and to the diminution of English "bear" dealings. TLe London Globe's statement that the British Government yesterday sent a proposal in the nature of an ultimatum to the Russian Government is discredited here. Sir Feter Lumsden, of the English Boundary Commission, has sent to London a report of the engineer ofiicers on the Commission, which states that the strategic position of Penjedeh is superior to that of Herat. It is reported tbat the Russian Ambassador at London has received from the Russian Minister of Foreign Afiairs a favorable reply to England's proposals concerning the outpests on the Afghan frontier. Russia, according to this report, agrees to give the Joint Afgtan Boundary Commission poiver to examine for a line of delimitation from Znlfican Pass to Penjedeh on the south, and from Sarakho to Araoudaria on the north; bat before opening the laborsof tbe comnmsion. Deljie-s asked that the Afghans withdraw from Penjedeh. Italia and Herat. Pahic, March 27. Captain Abknoff, Governor of Merv, who induced the Khan of Mery and other chiefs to petition Russia for annexation, in an interview today said: "Ruesia should seize Herat before England can get an opportunity to fortify it. Russia will nevethave a better chance of securing Herat than at the present." SOUDAN AFFAIRS. The Coolies Have Struck for Higher Wages Graham Will Advance When the Water Supply is Fixed. SfAi;iM, March 27. The co3lies have struck for higher wages. It is feared they have been led to take this stand through the inäuence of the rebels. The agents of the rebels repeatedly cut the telegraph wires. The enemy have a fear that these connect with hidden mines. Some shots were fired by the Arabs into the zereba last night, but without casualties. General Graham will advance as soon as the water transport syeteai is completed. AnAmerlcan I risliman With Osmau Oigna, London, March 27. The Egyptian Government is informed that an American Irishman, name not known, started from Chicsgo in January last to assist the Soudanese in their warfare against the British troops. He tailed from New York in January last ana went from France to Ceylon, where he remained some time, and bad several long interviews with Arabi 1'asba, tbe exiled leader of the Egyptian uprising of 1S82. He obtained credentials from Arabi Pasha commending him to El Mahdi and his followers, and he has now made his way to the camp of Ojman Digna, near Suakim. Talk of the Italians Kelieving Kassala. Suakim, Maren 27. Advices from Kassala, on the 5th inst., state that the garrison is still resisting. It is reported that negotiations, with a view to attempt to relieve the Farrieon by the Italian troops at Massowah, is in progress. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. The French l'ress on General Xegrier's Defeat at Dong-Dong. Paris, March 27. All the morning newspapers contain articles on tbe French reverses at Dong-Dong. A few editorials severely criticise the government for dilat:rin?8s in sending reinforcements to Tonquin, but the majority are very warm in denunciation of the Cabinet's Chinese policy. Rochefert has an editorial in the Intransigeant on the debate in the Chamber of Deputies last evening on the interpellation upon the present State of the Franco-Chinese war. The article concludes with the following words: "Cease to question ministers and invekethe guillotine." The Gaulois eajs thirteen French oilicers were killed at Dong-Dong in Monday's and Tuesday's fight, and declares that General Negrier's position is exceedingly precarious. One hundred and forty thousand Chinese troops are massed cn the frontier not far aistant. The Figaro urges that the French forces immediately march upon Canton. Negotiations Still Progressing. London, March 27. In the House of Lords this evening Granville in replying to the Marquis of Salisbury said there was nothing indicating a tendency to fi inch on tbe part of the Government regarding the Afghan question. The Government was firmly adhering to the policy agreed upon by both great political parties, while at the same time thsy were availing themselves of every n fans to arrive at a satisfactor7 solution of tbe difiicnlty. He was unable to fix the da'e when the negotiations would be concluded. Russia was now considering England's diipatrh. Ecgland considered Russia bound by the recent agreement. In the meantime the Ameer of Afghanistan hal instructed his chiefs to obäerve neutrality. Kecaiding the Anglo-liaislan Dispute. Bei Lin, March 27. The North German Gazette, Bismarck's organ, states that during the recent official visit of Count Herbert Bismarck to London, the relations between Russia and England were not discussed. The Gazette also eays it is not true tbat Emperor William communicated with the Czar on the Afzban dispute between Russia and England. Another Blockade Proposed. Pari, March 27.
