Full Text
England has ordered several regiments of native troops from India to Malta, a step which is regarded as one of the most ominous yet taken by the British government. Russia regards this as a direct menace, and will shape her course accordingly. It is equivalent to a notification to Russia that England is able and ready to draw a large army from her Indian dependencies for active operations in Europe. Not only does England thus boast of her capacity to meet the Russians with a nearly equal force, in Europe, but she makes light of Russia's designs upon India. The situation at this time is more critical than at any time heretofore, and the first hostile guns may be heard at any time.
