TAsHKEND, Sept 10.-Central Asia is in an
extensively disturbed condition. Civil war is
raging in Khakan against their ruler, Khudajar
Khan. The Turcomans around Khina are OBJ
stinately fighting. The Afghans are fighting
the Persians and carrying on dangerous in
trigues with the Emir of Bokhara Yokoub
Bey of Kashgir is fighting the Chinese at the
extreme limit of the Empires. The whole
region is in state of unrest anu uncertainty,
and is devastated by savage warfare. Bokhara
seems to be the central point of the most serious
part of this activity and it is possible that the
alarm caused by the Russians advance into
Central Asia recently SO loudly spoken of in
England, has excited the Afghans. 1t is
altogether probable that the Russian Emperor
will before long be compelled in self defence to
take towards Bokhara the same course he has
lately taken towards Khiva, permanently oc-
cupy the territory and reduce it to the condition
OF Russian dependency.
