THERE are two views Of the re-
rent conquest Of Kashgar by the
Chinese. On one side it is said
that the English melted the Chin
ese 10 the military activity which
ended the conquest Of the part of
Turkestan ruled over for fourteen
years BY Yakoob Beg. The terri
tory formerly belonging to China,
but the army Of Yakoob Beg was
too strong for the Chinese while
the old chief lived. This view Of
the matter is not quite consistent
with the fact tl,At Yakoob Beg was
an old emmy Of Russia, and that
Kashgar was during his reign the
scat Of many an English intrigue
against Russia. His army had III
il many Englishmen who had
served in India, and he was always
planning raids into Russian terri
tory. Russia always encouraged
the Chinese Government in efforts
to reclaim the territory, so as to
rid herself Of a troublesome enemy
and change the status Of what had
become q rallying point for anti
Russian conspirators. The large
army that invaded Kash-
gar vas organized before Yakoob
Beg's death, a few months since.
The confusion following his death
made the victory an easy one, and
Chinese Turkestan again joins
Russian Turkestan.
