2 THE MORNING- QREGQNIAff, FRIDAY, MAECH 10, 1905, AIMED T INDIA Russia Sending Troops to Frontier WITH GREAT SECRECY Resents British Action in Thibet and Persia. A CONFLICT IS INEVITABLE Large Forces Sent Through Turkes tan to Afghan Border, and Kashgar. Occupied Brit ain's 'Hostile Acts. ST. PETERSBURG, March 3 (11:55 P. 11.). Russia is-steadily reinforcing hor military force, both in men and guns, in the direction of the Indian frontier. Sensational rumors of the dispatch of reinforcements for Russian Turkestan were current two months ago, but they were then denied. Tho Associated Press is now in a position to affirm their truth fully on the authority of a traveler of unimpeachable veracity, who has just arrived' from Taahkend, and who was a personal witness of the military ac tivity on the recently completed Oren-hurg-Tashkend and other strategic railroads through, ilerv to Krasno yodsk. Troops, guns and munitions of war have been moving southward for two months. Between the middle of Jan uary and the middle of February 56 military trains, mostly carrying artil lery, arrived at Tashkcnd. The guns were mostly sent . from Merv. whence a purely military line goes to K.ursk. The traveler In question was in formed, although lie had no personal knowledge on the point, that Russian troops had crossed the Mamlrs through Terek Pass and garrisoned Kashgar. The -Orenburg-Tashkend Railroad was so crowded that the traveler was forced to return by way of Krasnovodzsk. Movement Veiled in Secrecy. The Associated. Press informant states that the greatest secrecy is ob served. Travelers, who are rare, must be provided with special permits from the Minister of "War and kept under the closest surveillance. The baggage of this traveler was twice seized and searched, although his papers were regular. It is most significant that local officials have been ordered not to permit Englishmen to travel in Rus sian Turkestan, and captains on the Caspian have been forbidden to allow Englishmen to land on the Eastern shores. At Krasnovodsk the Informant. of the Associated Press was told that two English officers, who had been traveling in disguise, are languishing In prison. Speaking generally, the Associated Press informant said that the greatest tranquillity provalled in the Turkestan region. At Bokhara there were only vague rumors that a war was in progress, and absolutely nothing was known regarding political develop ments in European Russia. The only explanation of tho renewal of Russia's military activity there is that it probably is a demonstration to Impress Afghanistan. The Associated Press Is unable here to obtain any of ficial admission that any unusual mili tary move is in progress, tho state ment being made that, if guns were going south it 'was simply an ordinary operation In the way of shifting troops; but a Russian of high position made the following statement: Britain Is Making Hay. "Russia has not any designs on India, as England is so fond of alleging. If Great Britain would only let us alone, we would not trouble her; but we are not blind to the manner in which Great Britain has seized the occasion of the present war to buttress all her inter ests in Central Asia, where we have as vital Interests as she; nor can we Russians get over the Idea that, sooner or later, a conflict with our tradi tional enemy is inevitable, and we real ize that our only path to victory lies in the direction of India. Without going back to Lord Curzon's bombastic proc lamations or anything prior to the war. and out of consideration for the manner in which she sought to embarrass and discredit "us in Its prosecution, we re call what Great Britain has done in Asia since the outbreak of hostilities and ask whether Russia would not be justified in making a counter move to YounghU6band'a expedition to Thibet, which was In direct violation of Great Britain's solemn assurance to us. Younghusband, you will remember, ne gotiated a treaty which so closely ap proached a protectorate over Thibet that the British government was obliged to administer a public rebuke to him. 'Then Iord Kitchener's scacme for the reorganization of the Indian army blossomed, and a so-called commercial expedition was sent to Persia. The son of the Ameer of Afghanistan was next brought to Bombay. Then pressure was put upon Turkey to settle the Aden Hinterland question and now there is a project to autonbmize Arabia. Great Britain has been making hay while the sun .-.hone. But Russia cannot hold her hands and see Thibet and Afghanistan converted into Bhutans or Nopals, nor Persia placed completely under British influence. I have no knowledge of what. It any, steps have been taken in Turkestan, but Great Britain will And Russia is not so engrossed or helpless as to be obliged to relinquish border stales to her morcy without a struggle." X LIMIT TO IRISH AMBITION. Rosebery Wants No Dual Govern ment Like Austria-Hungary. LONDON, March 9. The question of home rule for Ireland was the principal feature of the speech of Lord Rosebery before the City of London Liberal Club toaigat. His Lordship said that, while the Liberal party sympathised with Ire land .and .was -Billing to proceed along the lines of reform, "there Is one thing to which no wise statesman ever will ex pose the country, namely, the curse of a dual government We have JMJfficIent warnings In the example of Norway and "Sweden and Austria aad Hungary to avoid the peril of having the -vulture gnawing at bur very vitals Lord Rosobery said that after British ships had been ordered from Port Arthur by Russia and sont to Venezuela at the behest of Germany, Britons had little further humiliation to expect at the hands of a Liberal government. If a Liberal government were called upon to renew the Anglo-Japanese alliance, he had 'little doubt that it would elga gladly. BUBONIC PLAGUE IS RAGING Epidemic Rages in India and Bur mah, Causing Thousands to Die. CALCUTTA. March 9. Deaths from, plague last week numbered 34,000. Sta tistics show that the deaths from bubonic pleaguc In India within a few years reached nearly 3,093,000. In 1208 the mor tality in India from the plague alone was S50.000. The number of deaths recorded last week, while extraordinary. Is not unprecedented.. The infection recently spread to Bur mah, where It is making rapid strides. This season of the year always favors its spread. The Indian Government Is making every effort to eradicate It, de stroying by burning whole sections of towns, and segregating the inhabitants. But owing to the climate and the sanitary description of the outlying districts and native sections of the towns, It Is difficult to cope with the epidemic, which breaks out continually at fresh points. The deaths are said to be SO per cent of thoso Infected. As a result of the plague the labor supply for the manufac turing centers has sorlously depreciated. So long has the plague existed In India that the native population regards It cal lously. Since the outbreak at Bombay In 1K35 that town has not beon free from the plague, which has Tavaged tho entire presidency and is gradually spreading throughout India. The -victims are chief ly natives. WYNDHAM'S SUCCESSOR FOUND Long Will Be Irish Secretary, but Forster May Resign. LONDON. Maroh 10. "Walter Hume Long, president of the local Govern ment Board, has accepted the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland. It is ex pected that Premier Balfour will for mally announce tho appointment to day. It is still possible, however, that a hitch may occur, as It is stated that "War Secretary Arnold Forster, who is In bad health and dissatisfied with the constant criticism of his work, has de termined to resign, in which, case Mr. Balfour may be obliged to have re course to a reshuffling of the Cabinet seats. In the divisions taken in the House of Commons yesterday the government majorities were again dangerously small, owing to the difficulty the whips experienced In keeping government members in attendance. With a view to overcoming this trouble, the tariff reformers have decided to dine to gether on Mondays and Thursdays at the House of Commons. It Is stated that Mr. Balfour and Joseph Chamber lain will both attend the first of these dinners on Monday next. CHAMPION SPENDTHRIFT DYING Marquis of Anglesey's Doom Near at Monte Carlo.
