Much Concern ln England Over Affairs In Central Asia. LONDON. Feb. 17. (Copyrighted 1900 by the Associated Press.) What Is known in Great Britain as the Central Asian peril once more obscures the pa- international aspect of affairs, viewed by the man-in-the-street. Ai, t In definite news shows that in spite of all denials, Russia has advanced a strong feiree within striking distance "f Herat, and whether she intends this a distinct demonstration against Afghanistan or merely as a blind to draw off attention from or ultimately assist her objects in the Persian gulf ' merely a matter of surmise, Whatever all this really means, a large portion of the British public and the press is devoting serious attention to that time-worn bugbear, the menac ing shadow of the bear. Though Lord Salisbury refused to discuss the ques tion in the house of lords, the Associat ed Press is ab!e to give the opinions of British government offl.ials, which in the main are those of Lord Salisbury, upon this latest development. But, first of all. it will be to say that no action has yet been taken or decided on by the Erltlsh. Weeks ago the re port of a Russian advance was circu lated ami when questioned on the sub ject the Russian ambassador assured his dear friends in Downing Btre t that th reports were exaggerated. It was nothing but annual maneuv ers, he explained, and least of all, was it Intended as a menace. In fact, it was so b-littled by this diplomat, that the British olficlals had no other alter native but to believe the reports were practically uiitrue, especially as Rus sia, In conjunction with every other K.irojx-an power, had a few weeks pre vious, formally assured Lord Salisbury that hf nad not the faintest Intention of profiting by Great Britain's embar-rassm-nt In South Africa by prefslTg outstanding claims or Interfering in any way. News from Central Asia trickles Into Kngland slowly, but this week there came from many sources information shewing that Russia's ambassador had. to put it mildly, misled Lord Salisbury and the foreign office Wednesday last had to bring Itself up with a sharp turn to the realization that the Central Asian situation demanded Immediate attention. Vet, what form such atten tion will take constitutes a dilemma, on the horns f which the British gov ernment Is still perched. Details of the proceedings on the borders of Afghanis tan are still lacking and are likely to be for som'j tin'e. As a high official said to a representative of the Asso ciated Press: "If we politely suggest to the Rus sian ambassador that a further ex planation is in order, we are sure to get the same friendly asurances that it does not amount to anything. If we address a formal, stringent protest to St, Petersburg we deliberately cast doubt on Russia's practically spontan eous declaration of friendship and non interference. '"It is possible the latter is what the Amxrirnn ra) a 'l.loff But ,we have t9 be verr ,ure of our faci8 0ro. iceedlng on such a bafc. The Ameer Is not 111 In spite of all the alarming report. 1 suppose he w III die some day, and there will possibly be groat disor der. Rut. until this occurs, I full to see what Russia can effect. If the move ment li as Important as represented. I think It fttr likelier that she Intends to make a demonstration of the stivnvth tlv.tt in I u lit be brought to bear upon wm minor concessions to be asked for by Russia hereafter." Th opinion of this official and those of the !i'ijorlty of ersons accurately Informed Is that Russia' moe Is mere- ly one of the liner points of the dlplo- inatic ga'iie ami that sho bus no more id'-a of forcing a war with liivrit Rrtt iiln thai: lie has of forcing a war upon the I'uite.l Slates. Sr., while It appears that International rWuli .ns me really not threatened with any scrims break. It also app.ars that R'issU is likely to get whatever she ks for. within reasonable diplomacy, in th'1 n iu- future. Nothing Is more patent fiim the conversation of the ctiblii 't ministers and othYUIs than the d 'sive. to coin-Ill ite and not over-value miner concessions. However, it must n.t be inferred that Great Britain in tends to allow herself to be bullied into gratum? anything asktd for.' and it Is Interesting to note In this connection that the channel squadron, consisting of eight battleships and other craft.

It has Just been learned that a Seattle man was among the party of Lieutenant Gllmore, w hich has recently r turned to Manila after several months' imprisonment and terrible hardship among the Fili pinos. It was Edward link- Connors. Young Connors is a marine on the bat tle,hip Oreg-in. He started his naval work on the training ship Enterprise, at Charelston, Mass., and after serving on her fir a time, Joined the Oregon at the Brooklyn navy yard In Decem ber, liX He is IS years old and was born In Waltham, Mass. The marine has written a long letter under date of January 6 to his parents In which he describes the Incidents of his four months' imprisonment among the Filipinos. He was with the party that steamed up the Oranl river, lrrav ln Manila Sptember 17 of last year. On the way up the water suddenly merged into a shoal, and the captain gave orders to go astern at full speed; but the engineer misunderstood the sig nal, and ran ahead, shoving the craft onto a sand bar. Scores of Insurgents were In the woods, and in the afternoon opened fire on the boat. "We manned the guns, and s'ood tho insurgents off for over an hour," proceeds the letter; "but at the end of that time two of our guns had played out. and two of our men hnd been wounded." The crew was then given orders to leave iho ship in the small boats. Four men and the captain took the only boat and pushed off, giving the others, In cluding Connors, orders to destroy the guns and make the other side of the river by swimming. The four men In the boat were killed by the Filipinos, and the captain died on the way across the river.' Connors and his compan ions were met midway by canoes of the Insurgents and taken prisoners. "As soon as we landed," proceeds the letter, "we were tied up and should l.wv been fcoloed had not an ottievi' who had more humanity than the others pretested, and stopped the attKi'V rnb of soldiers.
