SECOND EDITION.

'HE FIGHTING IN AFGHANISTAN

STATEMENT BY MR GL\l»

STONE

Russia Apologises for the Attack,

(ileceived 10th, 2.40 p.m.)

Lokdon, April 9,

In tho Houso of Commons to-day Mr Gladstone mado n statement regarding tho outbreak of hostilities on the Afghans frontier. Tho Premier stated that information had icached tho Government that the Afghans gave no provocation for the attack made upon them by the Russian Gonoral Komaroff. He added that the British Cabinet had demanded explanations from the Russian Government as to tho occurronce.

St. Petersburg, April 9.

M. Giers, Minister of Foreign Affairs, waited on tho British Ambassador last owning, and expressed the Czar's hope that the Russo-Afghan incident would not have tho effect of stopping the parleying which was proceeding between England anil Russia on the frontier question.

Mr Gier. added that the Russian officers in Central Asia were unaware of the agree ment arrived at between England and Russia on the 13th ult., that, no advance should tako placo on either side in Afghanistan, pending the negotiations on the frontier question.

THE RUAPEHU AGROUND.

(IIV TKLKORAPH—PRKHS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, this day. Tun steamship Ruapehu in coming up the harbour kept too close to the southern shoro ond stuck in tho mud. Sho is expected to float off this evening.

Tho purchasers of the wreck of the Thomas Russell, lying at Orete Point - Messrs Bailey and Hawkswood—in tend to commence operations on that vessel very shortly. Failing satisfactory arrangements for the charter of a vessel, Mr Bailey intends to leave for the wreck by the steamer Suva on Tuesday next. He will take with him several workmen, so as to be able without delay to perform what work is requisite. If there snould be any serious uncertainty as to the possibility of floating the vessel to Auckland, it will not be attempted, but all her machinery and other valuable properties will be removed and forwarded here as occasion offers. Thore seems to bo no fear of the vessol breaking up unless unusually heavy weather sets in, and if work is pushed on vigorously the speculation may prove a very profitable one.

Martin Kerwick, baker, Auckland, filed a petition in bankruptcy to-day.
