THE AFGHAN WAR.
CONCERNING THE FLIGHT OF THE
AMER.
The Resistance of the Afghans Not Yet
Ended.

LONDON, December 80. A despatch from
Lahore says there is risk of too great impor-
lance being attached in England to the de-
parture of the Ameer from Cabul, and of its
being regarded virtually terminating the
campaign.
Some persons think the Amecr's flight may
be greatly influenced by the fact that if he
had remained during the winter at Cabul, he
might have found himself caught in a trap.
The roads on this side of Cabul are usually
passable earlier in spring than those on the
other side of the Afghan district, and thus
our army might have been able, in the event
of the Ameer's staying at Cabul till spring, TO
advance on him before he could retire. From
tins point the view of his flight may be only a
retreat to safer quarters, whence to prolong
resistance without the same risk of capture in
case of defeat
lie has thirteen, or, according to another
calculation, seventeen regiments at Herat,
and if he can retain his hold over them and
thus maintain his supremacy at Afghan, and
Turkcstan, he may still offer a formidable OPP
position to Yakoub Khan, or whatever ruler
we set up in Southern Afghanistan.
He released Yakoub Khan only under press
ure from the Ghilizai chiefs, who would not
allow him to leave Cabul without appointing
his successor.
If Yakoub Khan becomes our ally, we
shall probably guarantee him against his IA
