Russian journals state that the Ameer is
trating his forces near Cabul. which is strongly
fortified. The Times Berlin correspondent
confirms the report that General Kaufmann's speech,
on presenting the sword to the Ameer's envoy at
Tsshkend, has become the subject Of communica-
tion from England to Russia.
wHAr RUSSIA WILL DEMAND.
despatch to the Iesaer L,oyds from Berlin says
Russia is about to begin diplomatic campaign with
England in relation to Afghanistan. General Kauf-
mann has handed to his government memorandum,
pointing out how dangerous to the security OF
the southern frontiers Of Turkistan it would
be il the Khyber Passes were permanently
occupied by British troops. General Kaufman
regards groundless the British apprehensions Of
Russia threatening the northern frontier Of India
from Central Asia. This frontier is quite impreg-
nable, while tho British occupation of Southern
Afghanistan would be a standing menace to Russian
Turkistan. The st. Petersburg Cabinet, relying on
this report, will ask serious guarantees from England
that changes will be made in the territory or
Independent condition OF Afghanistan.
IL?
The Times has the following despsch from Bcrin:-
'The st. Petersburg correspondent OF the Vienna
semio1icial Political Correspondence says Russia has
announced her intention of actively support
ing the Ameer in tho event Of England
occupying any points in Afshanistan
from which Russian dominion in Asia
might be enectually threatened. This announcement
s based upon the assertion that England violated
the alleged Afghan agreement Of Lord Clarendon by
the occupation Of Quettah. The intention of Russia
10 interfere in Afghanstan is apparently conrmedby
the hoscop Gdseae declaring intervention indispens-
able now that the occupation Of Quettah has been
succeeded by expeditions in the Candahar
md Herat"
