The following special despatch to the Henan has been received by way of London from our correspondent attached to the Rus- sian army command, under General Kauf- mann, operating against Khiva: — Lonpon, July 10, 1873. The Heratp special correspondent on duty ‘at Sheik Arik, river Oxus, Central Asia, dating -on June 4 (old style), on the staff of the Rus- sian commander, General Kaufmann, tele- graphs details of the operations which took place prior tothe capture of Khiva. The despatch was delayed at Orenburg owing to the inability of the operators to wire foreign Janguage. WHE RUSSIAN ADVANCE MARCH—ITS DIFFICUL- TIES, DELAYS AND BRILLANT TRIUMPH. ‘The report reads as follows: General Kauf- tmann crossed the Oxus River on tho lst of June, having in his command ten picces of ertillery, two mitrailleuses, fifteen hundred dnfantry and six hundred cavalry, having passed Adamkulgan on the 14th of May. In order to procure a supply of water camels ‘were sent back—water becoming very scarce— thus causing a delay of a week. VICTORIOUS UNDEB A TERRIBLE WANT. The Russians in the meantime attacked Adam-Kurzland and repulsed an assault which ‘was made on the column by the famous Asiatic brigand, Sadik Valtack, despite the fact that the imperialist soldiers were suffering from a terrible want. ONWARD. General Kaufmann pushed forward, reach- ing Oock-Ookak, on the Oxus, after skirmish- ing continuously with the enemy all the way during the last twenty miles of the march. He there reached water, and charged the Turco- mans force, capturing eleven boats, which ‘where used for its transport. Following the course of the river a distance of fiity miles, the Russian headquarters ar- tived opposite this station on the 28th of May. BOMBARDING A FORT. A strong fort having been discovered on the left, General Golavoschoff opened fire on the place and silenced the Khivan guns. “THE BOAR OF THE GUNS A SOUND OF HOPE IN THE DESERT. Meantime MacGahan, the Hznarp special correspondent, had wandered in the desert from point to point, according to uncertain information, following in tho wake of the army until two of his horses died from hunger and thirst, He firally reached the Oxus May 28. Attracted by the roar of the contending cannon he was enabled to reach an elevation on hilly ground wherefrom he observed, during a space of two hours, the operations of the Russian and Khivese armies. CAPITULATION. The Khivans offered submission to the Rus- sians and General Kaufinann crossed into the territory of the Khanate proper in the cap- tured army boats. He was met by the publi- -cation of a proclamation of friendship. THE COMMISSARIAT. The inhabitants brought out bread, fruits and goats for the use of the troops. The Russians paid enormous prices for the com- missariat, the men having lived for a week previous on black biscuits. TO THR FRONT. At that period the Henatp correspondent was enabled to join General Kaufmann’s staff, IN A LAND LIKE CANAAN, After taking, on the 4th of June, Fort Kasagrash, distant ten miles from the Oxus River and forty miles from Khiva, the Rus- sians camped in gardens richly studded with ripe apricots, mulberries and the like.

A message was received that William J, Stanley was alive and well, and that the papers belonged to him, but how they tint the possession of the deceased not made known. The Coroner's jury has taken no action in the matter yet. Vartous and conflicting rumors are afloat as to the cause of the stranger's death.

Probability that the Persian Monarch Will Cancel the Concession, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following special despatch to the Henatp has been received from our corre- spondent in the French capital :— Panis, July 10, 1873, His Majesty the Shah of Persia is vastly gratified with the appearance of the French capital. Ho assured Prosident MacMahon that ‘Paris looks like a bride in her wedding dress,’” The Shah is greatly pleased with his recep- tion, but as to the state of his mind the groat potentate has no conception of the serious side of anything which he has seen. In this respect he is like a child at a fair. ‘THE FOREIGN MINISTER IN DEEP DISGRACE AND DREADFUL DANGER, His Excellency Sadree Zem, Foreign Min- ister of Persia, is in disgrace with the Shah, and will probably be dismissed and executed on the return of the Court to Teheran. THE REUTER CONCESSION DEPRECIATED IN VALUE. Serious difficulties exist with respect to the Reuter concession. Baron Reuter is $1,500,000 out of pocket. He deposited $250,000 as a guarantee of contract, and expended an equal amount in bribes to secure the contract. He also loaned the Shah $1,000,000 at five per cent, which sum the sovereign will never repay. WILL THE INSTRUMENT BE CANCELLED? There exists just now a curious intrigue around the Shah, undertaken with tho view to make him cancel the concession. The Shah was brought out by Reuter to help float his schemes, but other London financiers appeared and told the members and Ministers of the Shah’s suite that the concession was worth more than Reuter was paying, and Mirza Has- san Aly Khan, Mimister of Public Works, is against him. Reuter would like to sell the concession, but in the face of such difficulties it is doubt- ful if it has any value. THE PERSIAN CONCESSION. po EEE The comprehensive concession accorded by His Majesty the Shah to Baron Julius de Reuter never having been published, except in @ very general aud incomplete way, the following accurate ab- stract will prove doubly interesting :— The concession was issued at Teheran on the 25th of July, 1872, the conditions imposed in it upon the concessionaire being ratified py him in London on the 24th of August of the same year, This remark- able document may be brieily described as con- lerring an absolute right to supply the means of locomotion, an almost absolute right to work mines, and aright of preference to the production and manufacture of everything usaally provided by commercial companies. To secure success the re- sources Oi the country are placed at the disposal of the concessionaire in the mest liberal spirit. Both in what it accords and in what tt expects the con- cession proves the ardent desire of the shah to de- velop the riches of his country and the confidence he reposes in the enterprise, intelligence and sat- isfactory management of the eminent gentleman entrusted with the task. What follows will justify these remark: Article one ithorizes Baron de Reuter to establish in r nd v, OF AD, ies, 10 . at the works spec} n the concession. Article two authorizes Baron de Reuter, or his associ- ates or representatives, to construct a railway oetween the Casplan Sea and ine Persian Gull. ay well as any other rallways he may think ijt.

The Sultan of Turkey to Protect Native Inter- ests at the Seat of War. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. ~~ Lonpon, July 10, 1873. It is stated that eight Turkish men-o!-war are on their way to Sumatra to watch over the interests of His Imperial Majesty the Sultan in that island, Turkish History of the Ottoman Inter- ests in and Relations to Atcheen. The Juwaid, the most influential Arabic journal published at Constantinople, aiter announcing that the Ambassador from the Sultau-Prince of Atcheen had delivered to the Grand Vizter of Turkey a letter with which he was charged, setting iorth the griev- ances of the Atchenese, gives the following par- ticulars of the past political history of Atcheen :— Acheen was conquered by the Sultan hei 5 Jauhan-Shab on the 14th of Ramadban, A. H. 611 (19th of January, 1215), since which period its inhabitants have projessed Jsidm, of the Sh@taliy rite, Three centuries later, A. H 922 (A.D, 1516), it placed itself under the rotection of the Sublime Porte. The Seyyid Farmah-Snah, who was then Prince of Acheen, applied to Sinan Pasha, the Grand Vizier of Sultan Selim I, requesting to be recognized as @ vassal of the Ottoman Empire. The Sublime Porte readily accepted the proposal, and con- ceded a firman to that efiect. In the year of the Hran 1267 (A. D. 1850), the Suitan A’laed Din Mansalah, then Shruhier of Acheen, applied again to the Imperial government and renewed his oath of vassalage. On that occasion the Sultan 'Abdu- ‘|-Majid sent the Prince a decoration in diamonds, together with a firman acknowledging him as a vassal of the Empire. Ever since the country has been placed under the protection of the Sublime Porte all Acheenese vessels carry the Ottoman fag. From the Muslim conquest under the Sultan Goazy-Jauhan-Shah up to the late ruler, A’la ed Din Mahmnad Shah, thirty-five princes have succeeded to the government of Acheen. It was in A. H. 1155 (A. D. 1742), during the reign of Sultan Mustaia, that a teaty of peace and iriend- ship was concluded at Constantinople be- tween Holland and Acheen. By a provision in this treaty the Dutch were permitted to enter Acheen for the purposes of trade. In A. H. 1141 (A. D, 1728), during the sovereigaty of A’ala-ed- din-Jauhar-5bah, a treaty was made with En, land, which is still in 1orce (it expired in 1870). H, 1180 (A. D, 1766) the Dutch violated their ei lic and will probably | agements by seizing several parts of the siand of Sumatra. A. H. 1241 (A, D, 1825) they attacked some other districtsjof the king- dom of Acheen, and repited to the protests of the ‘raling Prince that they had not trespassed beyond their own limits. Finally in A. H. 1288 (A. D. 1871) Holland demanded the cession of cer- tain islands belonging to the Prince Acheen, and also permission to erect lighthouses on several parts of the island. To these demands the Acheenese replied that they could grant nothing without the authorization of their Suzerain, the Ottoman Porte. As to the lighthouses, the Prince engaved to erect them at his own expense. To this the Dutch objected, then resorted to threats, and ultimately to aggression in order to attain their own object, which was nothing tess than the con- quest of Acheen, Under these circumstances the Acheenese government determined to appeal to the Court of the Suzerain, and confided tt: sion to the Sultan to ’Abdu- nman-Zahir Effendi, who is accompanied by Hajjy-Abbis Effendi, one of the notables of the country, It was after the de- arture of this envoy, who is Prime Minister to the Roitan of Acheen, that the Dutch commenced their hostile operations, Their repulse by the Acheenese is well known. The JQwat hopes that the imperial government, in concert with the other Powers, will protect the Kingdom of Acheen from the aggressions of the Dutch, and that the Sublime Porte will tasue a new firman confirming its existing relations with Acheen.

Great Excitement at Fort Garry and in Minnosota—Action of United States Consul Taylor. Forr Garry, Manitoba, July 0, 1873, The Gordon arrest case is still under preliminary examination, No case like tt or having such inter. national interests has occurred since the St. Albans raid. American lawyers hold that the law of England does not preclude foretgners from ar- resting in bai! bond cases, The whole matter was undertaken on the supposition that it was per- fectly legal. Hoy, who arrested Gordon, is Chief of the Minneapolis Police, and parties are impli- cated who should not otherwise have been con- nected with the case; among others L. R. Bennett, of Winnipeg; Fletcher, of Minneapolis, and Brack- ett, Mayor of Minneapolis, BRACKETT 13 RELEASED from custody for the present. Other residents of Manitoba are held as witnesses, and Likely to be ‘arrested after their examination. No case with se much money init has arisen in Canada for a jong time, The lawyers are making the most of it. Gordon is being bied freely. It is rumored that detectives are on their way irom England in search of Gordon, The authorities here have been in communication with London for some time about him. If he ts arrested the American bail bonds willbe forfeited, hence the desire of Rob- erts, of New York, to secure Gordon, SOME CURIOUS REVELATIONS aro likely to be made affecting legal persons here when the examination is over. Gordon, in evi- dence yesterday, swore that his name was Gordon Gordon, The cross-examination permitied at the examination is very limited; othewise, facts con- cerning his former history might have been elicited. Harsh Treatment of the American Pris- oners—Gordon’s Story ot the Abduce don—Excitement in Minnesota. MILWAUKEE, July 10, 1873. United States Consul Taylor at Fort Garry tele. graphs that the Canadian officials refuse to permit visitors to see the prisoners under arrest at Fort Garry for attempting to abduct Lord Gordon from Mantwoba, Attorney General Clark, who conducts the prosecution on behalf of the Canadian govern- ment, at the examination of the prisoners this morning, objected to the prisoners’ counsel being present in open court during the examination, and was sustained by the Judge despite THR PROTEST OF CONSUL TAYLOR, Mayor Brackett, of Minneapolis, has been re- leased. Lieutenant Governor Morris and aArch- bishop Tate on being applied to last night to use their good offices that the prisoners would be per- mitted to have Interviews with their counsel and friends, said that they could do nothing, Attorney General Clark being supreme. At the examina- tion this morning Lord Gordon was the only wit- ness examined. He testified that while overseeing some work being done on his property at Fort Garry he was approachea by the prisoners, who sald thoy were Minneapolis officers and had A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST, He denied their authority to remove him, on a mere warrant issued by a Minnesota official, from the Dominion of Canada, and refused to go with them. He was then overpowered, ironed and placed in an ambulance and driven forcibly toward the United States line, when he was released by the municipal police of Manitoba. The case was adjourned, the prisoners being refused permission to make a statement or to in- troduce witnesses to contradict Gordon's evidence. The greatest excitement prevatls in Minnesota over the case as well as in Fort Garry. Gordon, it issaid, is using his wealth and infuence against the prisoners, ANOTHER ACCOUNT. High-handed Proceedings—The Noble Lord Spending Money Freely. Crrcaco, July 10, 1873. ‘The following despatch was received at St. Paul to-day, dated Fort Garry, July 4:— The excitement still continues over the recent arrest of Detectives Hay and Keegan, who at- tempted to kidnap the notorious Lord Gordon, of Erle Railway fame. Messrs, Fletcher and Merriam, of Minnegpolls, with Mr. Beatty, a merchant, were also arrested on the following day, as accomplices of the theft, and were rudely thrust intoa flithy prison andironed. Mayor Brackett and Hon. &. M. Wilson, of Minneapolis, arrived yesterday morn- Ing by special stage, travelling night and day. Mr. Brackett at once sought admission to the prisoners, which was granted by Judge Betowany, but he was immediately ordered out by the Sheriff under instructions from Attorney General Clark. Yesterday THE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION commenced. The court room was densely crowded and the whole day was occupied in taking Lord Gordon’s testimony, which was known to be a tis- sue of falsehoods and exaggerations. Mr. Wilson Was not allowed to act for the defence, but per- mitted to occupy a seat and confer with counsel fer the defence. Great indignation is felt against tne authorities for the high-handed manner in which they are conducting the case. United States Consul Taylor is working energetically on behalf of the prisoners, The examination proceeds very slowly: and will probably last several days yet. Mayor Brackett, while in Court yesterday, was arrested, | but released shortly afterwards, However, his movements are closely watched, He seems deter- mined to see the affair through. GOOD FOR THE LAWYERS. Lord Gordon 1s freely using his money, his friends having retained nearly all the lawyers. Every obstacle seems to be thrown in the way to prevent rebutting testimony being given. Only one or two witnesses were examined to-day, noth- ing new being elicited by their testimony. HOBOKEN'S MURDER MYSTERY. ilk What the Official Investigations Re- veal—Continuation of the Coroner's Inqu The long and searching inquisition into the cir- cumstances surrounding the death of Karl Ktst- ner, the Stettin merchant, fails to throw much light npon the case that can furnish @ clew to the perpetrator of the deed. The police continued their investigations yesterday. A report which was spread that two of the hotel offictals had left and could not be found is without foundation, one of them having been discharged and the other ap- pearing when he understood that he was wanted, ‘The summary manuer in which travelling strangers are disposed of by robbers in the neighborhood of ‘vhe Elysian Fields is likely to give rise to a move- ment which will result in placing that entire region under the control of THE HOBOKEN POLICE oF of some police that will drive the rowdies there- from. The inquest was continued by Coroner Parsloe last evening. One of the jurors was in @ semi-intoxicated condition and occasioned a litte comment on his conduct, Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. oe tne foreman, who has spent both day and night in hunting up the case. After patient labors yesterday he discovered that the newspaper scrap found in deceased’s brain was from a copy of the Neue Stettiner Zeitung printed some six weeks ago in Stettin, Kistner’s native city. Mr. Adolpni is now endeavoring to find a copy of that T of the same date as the scrap. The first witness sworn yesterday was Hugh Bar- clay, Who deposed :—‘“At ten minutes past three o’cloek on Friday morning, the 4th of July, being a watchman, I was standing at the corner of Sixth and River streets, when I heard a loud SOUND OF A GUN or large pistol; it was a heavy, rolling sound, such ey Tooxed to see ff @ policeman was 2 hand, bat no oue Was ne after the sound I heard no further noise; the fring of guns and pistols is very com- mon in that locality; 1, therefore, took no more nace 0 the occurrence and went away @t seven orcloc Willtam Miller, who was employed as a waiter ix the Park Hotel, was then examined, but nis testi- mony was irrelevant to the curevmsatances of de- ceased's doath, Ktistner usually drank bait a bot- tle of claret at dinner; saw & man named Birk- house onee conversing with dece: ; Lief we hotel on the 3d of July, voluntarily. Mr. Gustavus Acker, the wine merchant, waa the next witness. Heard deceased # of an uncie and brother who lived in Nevada, and whom he in- tended to vistt before proceeding to San Franciaco; on the evening of the 2d of July deceased and my- self, having dined together at the hotel, walked te the Elysian Fields; we sat down for @ short time at Sybil's Cat 1; on Thursday night, af eleven o'clock, he’ left my store along and after that I never eaw him alive; he was hever intoxicated, but complained of’ a sick Stomach; Ne was very quiet and comfortable whem leaving me on that night; his discourse was always pertinent to the subject of conversation; on one Occasion he drew out a small portiolio, and, clap- ping it with his hand, said:—‘“I’m ready to go ROW (to Californta) ; ’'ve got my money." The porter of the hotel then gave some testt- mony, the substance of which has already appeared in the tHeratp.
