He Is Still Feeling Much MetterThe Fam ily SaugntDe HU Chances of Recovery One In a Thousand. New VorK. April l, s:30 a. m. General Graot fell into a quiet sleep Immediately after 10 o'e'eck and slept well until 2 a. ra , when he awoke and took nouriehment. He soon fell asleep aziin until 5 o'clock, when he awoke, end nourishment was again given him. He then slept l?ght!y until 6, when he awoko fully, took his coZe?, dressed and Is now moving quietly aboat the room. His pulse and temperature are normal. Last night's refreshing, unbroken sleep was another stride toward the General's recovery. From 10 p. m. to 2 a, m. he 6lept without te'ng troubled with the cough which has hitherto caused him so much pain In his throat The General appeared I at the office window, which adjoins his bed-room. ana notu icg tne reporters waikin; up and down the opposite side of the street, graciously returned their ipentaneena salute. The General looks very much improved in personal appearance and will, it is expected, take a drive out to-day or to mo;row, should the weather permit. toor old man in seedy garments, who said he hi d traveled on foot from Galena, 111., and had fought under the General, paused in front of the house at 6:30 this morning and dofllng his weatherbeaten hat prajed loud and fervently for his recovery. When he turned to go the tears were cursing each other down the veteran's face. When Dr. Newman left the house this afternoon Ye said the family bad a consultation this morning, and decided that es soon as the weatber would remit the General should be taken to the Catskills. Dr. Newman said the doctors nad told him tbe General's chances of recovery were one in a thousand. At 11 o'clccu tte curtains behind the part of the Ge reral'a window toward the park were pushed aside, and the CJeneral himself appeared at tbe window, Ills face wore a strained expression that was almost pitiful. He stood erect, except for the i so of bin cane. As Dr. Douglas was leaving the house between i and 5 o'clock, he was ake d when the next bulletin would be Issred. He stated that no further bnl etins would be issued to-day, because the pa tient was so comfortable that there was no necestity for one. Incidentally the Doctor remarked it at tbe General's throat had cleared up hnely. and that there was a bright, clean appearance of the parti. The doctor had talked over the situation with thj General and the family, and they were told, tbough there was at piesent a lull, it must not be taien for granted that the cause for apprehension was pasted. Dr. Douglas remarked that the General was tbe best patient that be had ever hai. lie did all tbat was directed, and just as directed, and his will power wag surprising.

A Cientral Kevlew or the War Report and hatlonal Actions -The Peace and War Humor Mainly for Spec nlatlvf) Parpost. L Ni cy, April IS. Tne pro'peet of peacj my bedclcive. Many experienced dip.omata entertain a firm conviction ttat the apparent truce is taken by England merely to get proper weapons for elective ection. Mr. Gladstone las mid 3 some retieats during his ministry, but he h is al ways on these occasions betrayed himself ny Inde cision and evasiveness In his parl'amentary ititexnents. It is quite different with him new. To all Interrogatories in tho Houc of Commons dur ing the past week the Premier has presented the very pcrfec'Ion of firmness in reply. When the questioner desired to know something which the Government were not ref.dy to confide to the public, Mr. Gladstone has straightforwardly refused to give information, and has plainly based his refusal upon public policy.. In nearly every other case the Liberal leader has been frank to his corstituects, fair to his opponents, and unirnpas fcicned and truthful to the Russians. It Is ad mitted by even the Premier' enemies that his conduct t as t een like that of a man strong in fore knowledge about the result of his cause, like that of a can managing well a good cause with many ujly features necessarily attendin? the preliminary stages cf its progress. Mr. Gladstone appears to have his entlra case in hand, seems to be unembarnised by prospects and undoubtedly bai ths full f yrai tthy and co-operation of his entire Cabinet. It would appear from all this that the Premier Las another coup d' theatre prepared for next week's value of credit day. Hence, although all tbe surface indications warrant the s'a'ement that the prorpect U one of peace, the onlr description of the actual situation which can be given as literally accurate Is contained in the statement: "the situation is practically nu cha nced.,, Of course such a statement is oracu lar, but so Is the situation, for t o ona outs'de the Cabinet knows just what It Is. It may be s:t down as absolutely true that the rise and fall of war talk du nig ten da7s past has been largely due to the speculative money interest d In making talcs cr purchases. Never in th history ol modern times hes such a ras: amount of money teen interested in the changa of public opinion of a tingle Nation. TLe enormou sums invested out and out by Berlin, Vienna, Paris and London capitalists in Kass.n securities and British conrols have compelled a vast and powerful interest to maintain and spread go xl uewp. The owners of the millions of idle iconey in London and In the continental Bourses, seeking Investment, constitute, on the other hand, an equally powerful class, whose Interest it Is to bieak values ty securing and circulating bad news. This strDgele to re'ain against this battle to seil l as been highly responsible for most of the war new given to the public during the past fortnight. Very little news has originated in any form from either the Russian or English Government. The Russian Generals arc good and ambitious of fame, but no cne suppeses they are rnaiket speculators. England never tad a ministry purer than the piceent Cabinet, it is not only above suspicion, but cut of suspicion's reach, la Taris and . Berlin speculators hold large amount of Egyptian stocks. These holders fe .r that a crash would ensue In all these stock. if England should t8 compelled to evacuate Egypt order to strengthen her force against Russia. Russia has been making the stronecfd possible eSorts to maintain financial credit in Europe. She has recently announced that the new tax ou coupons will be collected from Russian holders only. Foreign bolders of Russian bonds have therefore nothing to do to et care this coupon tax but to make affidavit of their nativity. Tte Imperial Council, which bas this entire matter under present consideration, has made haste to relieve foreign holders of alarm by making them cciualnted with their exemption from tbU coupon tax, and will soon make known otöcr important results of the discussion which the council is holding. It is not known what the result oi the efforts of the Russian Govern nent to re ot a'ea loan with the Rothchildi is. It is b sieved, however, the Rothchilds have decliatu the Rmslan tern.. General Vonnouskl, Russian MlnisU r of War, it is stated, is suffering from 111healtb, and des'res to retire. General N. Obrotcheir i Darned as his successor. General Vonnouski belongs to the peace party in Ht. Petersburg. It Is not generally believed that he la rea'ly 11L It is scspected toat if he retires it will be In deference to the war party, which seems to be getting control of the Russian pollcy.General ObroutcherT Is thoroughly in gym na thy with with the war party, and his assumption of the control of the War Office would undjuotedly be indicative of the adoption of a warlike loiicy by the Czar. Tbe Spectator says that, afte clutchin TJerat, Russia will fcealmot certain to turn heratten loa to Persia and attempt to secure control of the fchah'a dominions by a combined attack fron Armenia. The possess ion of such a fertile country as Fersla, situated so favorably, the ?pec.ator thinks, would be most valuable to Russia in any apgresjive movement southward. Tne Governn ent has decided to station a number of armed metcbantmen at the South African Cape, at Bmtay. also Sydney and elsewhere, as a provisional means of defense for British interests in those quarters of the world, aud la case of aa AngloRussian war. The British Admiralty have been unsuccessful in negotiating with Chill for tho purchase of a part cf the Chilian navy. Four s?conl-clas torpedo toata have already been bought. Orders have been issued for tbe immediate dispatch of the ti rpedo beats to Vancouver's Island for use in the Xorth Tacific Ccean in cae of emergency. The work of fortifying Si ct; a pore will ba commenced atorce. cine hundred aud twenty trustworthy Malays will te immediately Instructed in topedo secret. The Government has decided to put a stop for the present to all volunteer retirements among army oncers. Members of the Indian volunteer force have not yet been required to enlist. They have been simply reo nested to muster tbeir names with the Government. The war officers are engaged In the work of providing for each member of this force a Martini riMe, fifty rounds of ammunition, necessary personal accoutermenis, and an extra allow acce of f.ve rujeei toward the purchase of a uniform. The gun works of 8ir William Armstrong have been given a large number of new war ordsr?. Amcng these is an order for seventy small Ctld piece?, and another for 400 Thordenfelt guns. Russia is strongly fortifying Sweabourz. Tbe bill to enable tbe British-Australian colonies to federate, which was Introduced last Thurday In the House of Lords by the Earl of Derby, Minister for the Colonies, contains clause declaratory of tbe doctrine of gute rights in its mo it literal form, "neof these clauses enacts that any one colcny shall have the power to withdraw from the federation at its own discretion at any tints without consulting the other members of the federa t!on. The other clause empowers the Legislature cf any colony In tbe federation to override past fecMons of the Federate Council. It Is believed that every one of the Australian colonies, except, perhaps, that of New South Wales, will oppose the adop'ion of either of these clauses. it i reported that a new form of settlement of the Mexican debt is proposed upon the basis of the redemption of tbeoldde:t in full, w.th the exception of the ovardue coupons. Tbl new proposal bears out the employment of and the payment of commission to any agent, whether ef the bondholders' committee or any other organised interest. What the English Press Bay on the Subject Various Statement. Loxpoy. April IS. Notwithstanding the advance InEngiish and Russian ecuritiet.war la still in the London air, as witness the press opinion of this morning. The Timei says: "Are we then to leave the Ameer to hi own devices after engaging htm in the conflict with Busala lor what his unaided force are Inadequate? and Ii we do so can we expect that the Afghani will not deem them selves betrayed and throw themselves into the arms of the stronger power?' Eajs the Telegraph: "We don't know that the two govarnments have yet established anything like i ufficlently powerful conductors to carry off the electric feeling of the rations. As a matter of fact nothlnr. we be lev e. t a been ettled. Ii tbe Afghans call upon ca to rani rm, it still re

tr ains possible that war may be wiser and betttr in the long run than peace." s'ajs the Chronicle: "Russia Is really aiming at Herat, and no men in his senses candouttlt. Concession may avert collision for tke moment, but only defer it to a season more f oi mi dabie for Russia." It Is reported that Waddingtcn, French Minister at London, has telegraphed De Freycinct that there need be no fear of war between England and Russia, as the two countries have agreed upon a plan for settling the Afghan frontier nestle n. Tte Times says: "Nothing has happened in the last three cr four days it justify a ehanue in tbe public attitude.- Even if the Government is prepared to give Kmsla the territory already occupied: it by no means follows tta: the troaule is ceded." Tte Slanderd speaks in a leading article, to the following e2act: "Nobody who has the honor cf England at heart can help feelii?g tbat the Government is paying a disastrous price ;or the respite it is prosing to secjre. Continental critica are careful to hold up tne rr irrcr so as to show our contemptible figure. Kussla has once mere gained a triumph at our cxieme. She has gained the credit which we have lest. We. on the other hand, have not secured peace. That degree of illusion is simpiy irrposible, however sanguine we maybe. The ccuuict has only teen postponed to some future tiae, and a period of great defensive armament has opeted for the Briti&h Empire in India." Dispatches received here this afternoon from Vienna end Constantinople state that Austri-i and Germany Lave warned the Porte that tbe Berlin treaty will be annulled if either English or Russian war ships arc allowed to pass through the Bcsphorus, in the event of war between England and Rntsia, The Journal do St. Petersburg regrets that the English press has not imitated the moderation of the Russian papers, and hopes that a courteous, if not amicable, tone will govern the press of both countries in the difcussion oi the differences between tho two empires, which the Journal believes will be settled if kept free from party passions atd violent language. The Eerlin press generally expresses the opinion that Russia is humbugging England. All Partie Talking Piecf, Ytt War Prepa tion Still Co Oa. Pai:is, April 18.

M. De Freycinet read to te Frerch Cabinet at a meeting to-day a number of dh patches concerning the Afghan dispute betvteee Russia and EDgland.
