CABLEGRAMS.
London, February 19. There is every probability of a match being made by Wallace Ross to row either Trickett or Laycock for £l,OOO aside on the Thames. Considerable sensation has been created by the announcement that Ayoub Khau has again declared war against Abdul Rahaman, Ameer of Cabul. The relations between Greece and Turkey are strained to the utmost, and war is regarded as imminent. General Roberts at a Banquet in Guildhall, spoke at some length upon the organisation of the British army, which he said was in many respects defective. Its great fault, he said, was that it was absurdly small, and a more manly stamp of soldiers was required. They wanted men ; the boy soldiers who had been drafted into the army were a failure.
