communication with Bulgaria during the
occupation, as sea communications are liza
bic to be interrupted at any time by Eng
land or Turkey. The Gotos adds: s'Rou-

BERLIN. November 23.-The National
Zeitung says, respecting the policy OF the
Russian Government in regard to the war
in Aighanistan: sRussia being satisfied
that the war must result in 4 British vic
tory, does not contemplate Intervention or
interference while hostilities last, but in
tends to claim voice in the settlement OF
the terms OF peace. 1t bases its claim upon
the announcement that a rectifcation OF the
Indo-Afghan frontier is proposed, which
the Government Of the Gar is not prepared
to submit to without previous under
standing between England and Russia.
Russia will not consent to the annexation
or destruction OF AighanistaD, nor to the
permanent acquisition by England OF posi-
tons commanding the passes OF Balkh. It
is with view to making its voice heard at
the conclusion OF the war that Russia has
ordered Colonel Lowakine TO push on with
his troops, now stationed on the Attrak, to
Marginal, and that the contingent now sta
toned at Samicrind has been directed to
continue its march,"

Eurum, and Poshin valleys. Winter is

Cor prudential reasons the Indian Govern
ment will not care to entangle their armies
too far in the hills at this season until their
communicatioasar more secure and their

OF Gelaabed,, Ghozini, and Candahar.
