A dispatch from Simla, India, says news has been received from Cabul that the Ameer of Afghanistan has imprisoned Umra Khan, thereby removing the reproach that the ameer was receiving England's enemy as a guest. A letter received by the Manzanillo agents of the Pacific Mail says that two women and one man, Americans and. Colima passengers, landed at Naraganzastilla, fifty miles southeast from ManzaniUa, on May iD' ana have been nursed by the Indians. The story is corroborated by A. Daana Martima, the customs collector at Manzanillo. News has been received at St. Malo, France, of the abandonment, on dire and with her passengers on board, of a British vessel, the Why Not, bound for the Island of Jersey and loaded with fodder. The crew of the Why Not, it is said, deserted the passengers when the vessel caught fire, and, taking the boats, succeeded in landing at Erquy, department of the Cotes du Nord,-not far from St Milo. The fate of the passengers is not known. A dispatch from Shanghai to the London Times says the English, French, Canadian and American missions were wrecked at Ching-Too-Foo, Kia-Ting, Yachou, Ping-Shan and Sinking. Some of the missionaries are missing, but no lives are known to have been lost. Suifu and Luchou are threatened. A riot is. considered inevitable at Chting-Tang.

A Berlin dispatch to the London Standdard says the Chinese loan which Russia has guaranteed forms a part of the war indemnity and was raised in accordance with the terms of a recently Com eluded secret Russo-Chinese treaty. Japan has agreed that if £15,000,000 is paid forthwith the remainder may be paid within six years. It is therefor* likely that the whole of the indemnity Will be advanced by French and Russian bankers, only China hopes to induce Russia to be satisfied with 4 per cent interest. A dispatch from Panama says: There is little chance thut the Ecuador Government at Quito will last much longer. The patriots are intrenched securely at Guayaquil, and, certain of nearly all the Guayas province, are only waiting for Alfaro's arrival to coytinue their victories. The radical change in the Government which is expected renders measures of precaution imperative, and the Caucn troops are instructed to make a special call at Buena Ventura. Gen. Ulloa, meantime, awaits advices from Bogota. In all this one detects a cause for suspecting that Colombia may have an intention to intervene in Ecuador. Guayaquil advices confirm the news of Gen. Eloy Alfaro’s departure from Nicaragua.
