LONDON, November 21.-The following
are the principal points of Lord CranbroOk's
letter to the Goyernor-Grneral OF India:
The letter opens with statement OF the
settled policy OF the British Government to
maintain on the northwestern Indian from
tier friendly and independent State;
that with this view Shcre Ali was
recognized upon his accession and fur
nished by the Indian Government with
money and arms to establish and main-
tain his authority. In the mean time
negotiations OF her Maiesty's Government
with the Government OF the Car ended in
an amicable understanding as to the limits
of Afghanistan. The capture OF khiva by
the Russians in 1878 alarmed the Amer,
who sent an embassy to India to ascertain
how far he could rely on the help OF the In
dian Government In the event OF Russian
invasion. Lord Northbrook assured him
OF assistance in case OF unproyoked agrees
sion, but said that the contingency was re-
mote and doubtful, and discussion OF the
question had best be dropped. This was
unfavorably received by the Amer. His
attitude became one OF sulen reserve, and
his relations with the Russian Governor
General of Turkistan grew more intimate.
This decided her Maiesty's Government to
ascertain definitely the Amcer's sentl-
ments. Oyertures made by LORD Lyt
ton, however, were practically reject
ed. After the reception by the Amecr OF
Russian embassy, her MaieSty's Govern
ment determined to make another effort to
reestablish friendly relations by means OF
an embassy under Sir Neville Chamberlaine.
The embassy was not allowed, however, by
the ANGER to enter his territory. This, the
letter states, YVES wholly uniuStitiabie, and
in violation Of treaty rights, and Lord Lyt-
ton was directed to demand that the Amcer
apologize for the ali'ront before the goth OF
November on the penalty Of being consid-
cred q declared enemy. The letter closes
with assurances to Lord Lytton OF the sup
port OF the home Government, and the
statement that this dispatch is published by
her Maiesty's order for the information OF
the people.
