The people here show the utmost impa tience to hear the statement of the British government in Parliament. Cases are being sent to Helsingfors in which to paok and remove the arenivee of he State, and the collections of the mu seum. The coast of Finland is being rapidly ut in a state of defense- Loxdon April 28.—The news of another battle, though it is yet unconfirmed, has greatly increased the danger of war. The Times says that the rumor is probably the first oozing out of news which has been officially suppressed. At present only tbe Independence Beige and the Daily News have received a report of the battle. It is presumed that a body of Rnssians fol lowed a body of retreating Afghans while scooting in the country for the purpose of of collecting Information, and perhaps pushed to Chamenebeide, thus coming into contact with Afghan troops on the direct retreat to Herat, or a similar movement may have been made from Zutfikaror Ask- abad. At present there is nothing to show where the OLflict occurred. A declaration of war is not expected to follow directly upon the rapture of diplo matic relations. Baron de Steal and Sir Edward Thornton would be recalled and Russia would then probably order General Komaroff to advance on Herat, Eng land meanwhile occupying Quetta and Candah&r. PREPARATIONS IK INDIA. The commissary department of the In- dian army has completed arrangements for famishing transportation and provis ions in India for two array corps. The first corps consists of 13010 British and 16,000 native trorps, with 30,000 camp fol lowers (transport animal teuders), 8,000 horse and 30,000 transport animals. The second corps con fists of 12.- 000 British and 15 000 native troops, with 28.000 followers. 8.0 X) horse, and 28 000 transport animals. One month's supplies are to be sent to Rindli Ktila and Ab Julia and three months' supplies to Quetta. THE AUSTRALIA* TROOPS. The government has accepted the ufler made oy New South Wales of the contin gent, now in the Soudan, for service in India or elsewhere as may be required by the military authorities. THE RUSSIA* ADVANCE. A special dispatch from Ttrpn), dated April 16, says that the Russians occupy Aktepe, and are actively at work makiug a military road from Penjdeh t > Herat. London, April 28.—The Russians have •how increased friendliness toward the English. They ascribe the conflict to tbe jealousy of too Russians Isst Kagtaad should interfere ac.ivcly in the affairs of Central Asia. DIPLOMACY NOT TIT EXHAUSTED. London, Anil 29.—In ministerial circles the Russian advance to Marutchak is not considered &9 altering the diplomatic po sltlor. No action will be taken until M. de Giers responds to Etrl Granville's de mand for an inquiry. It is expected that M. de Giere’ reply will not reach the Rus sian embassy here before Monday, and that it will be a refusal to accede to E&rl Granville's demand* mOUptlW bj ft counter proposal. A semi-official communication received through the Russian embassy explains that Marutchak is part of the nails of Penjdeh and within the line of frontier claimed by Russia and on the frontier of Afghanistan. It was made a Russian outpost a week after tbe battle of Penjdeh. TBE AMEER’S PROCLAMATION. London, April 29.—'Tbe Russian papers publish a pretended proclamation of the Ameer, isiu^d from Jamrood, declaring that if war is forced on tbe Afghans they will rise as a single man to repulse the in vaders, but as between England and Rus sia, “if left to onr own independence. I will protect peace between these two States and cling to neither." Tbe aim of the publication is to show that Russia desires to protect the neutrality of Afghanistan. PREPARATIONS IN RUSSIA. WAR THOUGHT TO BE INEVITABLE. loadon. April 27.—Opinion in the lob bies tonight is that Mr. - Gladstone'* sperch shows that war is inevitable. In asking tbe vole of credit, Mr. Gladstone said the g rveroraentconilderei it necessa ry to have the funds of the empire well in hand for me nn«i application wherever they may oe required.
