The rupture between Russia and
Khiva is exciting considerable com.
ment in Europe, and the general opin-
ion is that an open conflict cannot be
avoided. The Khan of Khiva who is
only ytwenty-seven years old, is describ-
ed as havinggreat military talent, with
Unsuitable ambition. He has for some
time been at work securing allies for
campaign against Russia, aud de-
clares his intention not to leave foot
of ground to the Invaders of Central
Asia. Three Russian columns have
been sent against him, but 1t is likely
the task they have undertaken will be
found q hard one, as the Khivans are
brave and enterprising, and have a
large and well-descialined army.
