rectly with the English, but that he

vice, even though it would cost him

the war. The Ameer had expressed to
him his determination to carry Oh the
conflict with England with energy, and
he felt that his country had the strength
to carry on the war for fully two years,

stated that the Ameer's son, Iakoob
Kahn, was of the same opinion AZ his
father, and supported him in his deter
mination to resist and repel the invaders.
General Kaufman, always cautious
in his diplomatic dealings, replied that
he would refer the matter to the Car at
st. Petersburg. He is now awaiting the
official announcement Of the Ameer's
death before notifying the ambassadors
that their powers have expired, or are
suspended until renewed by the
AmecT's successor.

o'clock this morning, aged - years.
Since HE dangerous attack OF illness,
three weeksa ago, he has steadily improved
