LOWERING WARiLODDS

Russia Sends an Ultlmitnm to England-She Also Proposes a Joint Commission on Fepj'ieh. A St. Petersburg Dispatch Sayo Affairs Look More PacificIrving Welcomed by a Banquet. WAtt PREPARATIONS. All the Powers L'r-w turkey to Kemaln Neutral 1 ' of War. CoNSTAKTixorLE, April ir. All the powers have, through theirrepresenta'.ives. verbally urged Turkej to n.aintain a state of neutrality in ths event of war bttweea Tagland and Koisia. JI. NelikofT, tbe Russian Ambassador, has had a special andiecce with the Sultan. In this the Kassian statesman insisted tbat it was absolutely necessary for the Porte to raaintiaa ttrict neutrality in the case of an Anglo-Russian war. The Porte is rapialy erecting fresh defen sive works on the Bcsphorus. The Saltan has ordered the heights of Therapia to be fortified. Turkish agents Lave teen tent abroad to purchase torpedo boats on the Eultan'a account. The Forte, on Sunday last, telegraphed to Berlin a request to Trine j Bismarck for his opinion .upon the Anglo-Russian situation, and the attitude proper for Turkey to adenine toward those powers if they go to war. It ij stated that the G9rnian Cuttucelior promptly responded, but it has rot been raade public It is known, however, that the Turkish Ministry held a special meeting vesterday to consider Prince Blsaarck's reply Nanicrom Reports and liamors Rearing on the Subject of Impending War. London. April 20. It was during the meet ing at IUwal-Pindi the Ameer to'd Earl DulTerin that though he regarded the occupation of Penjdeh of little consequence, yet he attached the greatest importance to the retention of Marucbak, which is half way between Penideh and Ca!a Marghab. Once the Russians gain that point tbey will be able to threaten Bulkh and cut oil coaimnaicticn with CabuL Th latest Russian advance ' expected to fcrlrg the quest!oa to a crii. The current opinion ia that Ruisia is really prear!rjg for war much rcors rapidly thaa fte appears to be, the Russian papsra bsiug RSTDtd to secrecy. It is reported that the Khaa of B?kbara earnestly warned the Ameer not to neglect Cabul and Balkh while taking steps to protect Herat, as the Pes.dan ariD7 was masiing ia Torke&tan near bimaracand, with ths intention cf marching on P.alkh and proclaimiig Ajonb Khan Ameer, while the Afghan aruiy was engaged at Herat, ilia letter to tte Ameer concludes: 'I know for certain tbtt tho P.ussiars fntend not to march beyond Herat, but will cnt oil your line of retreat to Cabal and the Eaglhn line of retreat to Candabar." It instated tbat the Government hsa received an important memorandum, from Lord Dufferin, the Viceroy ot India, upon the theories of the Indian Government, and upon the action of Russia since the beginning of the existing controversy over the definitive boandry of Russia and Afghanistan. The Standard referring to the occupation of Meruefcah by the Russians, ia aa editorial, stye: "Ihere can be no question of Afghan pruvocatioa in this instance. The occupation of Marnchak stands out broadly and und:sguiaedlv as a clear inTasion of the territory of Afghanistan without even the pretenje cf military necessity. Assuming that th news of the occupation ot ilaruobak is correct, there is little room for doubt that it can be considered anything elsa than a deliberate act of egfrresiisn. aad this act of aggression has the appearance of being specially chosen in order that there may b no possibility of farther mistake. Itis a deliberate breaon of a sol-mn covenant a flagrant violation of Russian promiees and assurances." The Times, in a raview of the recent past actions of Rufsia, says that the spirit thus revealed gives littl hope that England's last overtures will receive a satisfactory reply. A refusal to treat upon that bais will involve a op'.omatic rupture which is but little reamoved from actual war. The Ktusian advance soatb of Penj lh and tte occupation of Llaruchak are retard J in Parliamentary circles as dispelling the fct hopes cf nesce and as the precurtor of a Rujetan attack upon Herat. A Rawal-Piudi lxttsrstates that ths Ameer of Afgha iatan regards the Ru?eiaas as enemies anxious to aeizi Herat. Tbe whole pee pl of Afghan, Turkestan and Bdaka3hed tberf fore look to Kagland. appareatly ia all sincerity to aid the Ameer in repelling Runia. KoMla'i War freparattoas. Odisa, April 21.
