money and influence wa pledged In behalf
Of q road TO run up Jim river and NOT up
the Missouri river. By the former, Yank-
ton would gain trade in that region. By
the latter, y outlined in the Times; another
point would gain this trade. Yanktou could
hardly be censursd for declining to pay for
something which would not bring it returns

kota Southern to let us know definitely

THE AFGHAN WAR.
Gen. Roberts Entirely Surrounded.
THE QUEEN SAID TO BE ALARMED BY
THE SITUATION.

CALCUTTA, Dec. GA despatch from Gen.
Roberts, dated the 18th, urges Gen. Coughs
immediate advance in light order, without
tents and only taking ammunition and sup
plies for five or six days. Roberts states that
there is no enemy between Jagdellak and Ca
bull to oppose Coughs advanc. and adds that
he shall be able to settle affairs in Cabul when
Cough joins him. Cough will leave Jagdellak
on the 21st (today) with 400 men and four
guns, picking up 700 men and two guns at
Latabond.
New YORK, Dec 20.-The Tribune's cable
special says; Afghan disasters excite general
alarm and Tory CONSERVATION. The Queen is
reported as greatly distressed and publicly
blames Lord Lytton for suppressing and dis
torting information. The best authorities on
Indian affairs say Gen. Roberts was utterly ig-
norant of the enemy's preparations and obliged
finally to fight his way around Cabul to Shir-
pour cantonment where he is completely sur
rounded. His position is extremely critical
and it is expected that he will be compelled
within month to fight his way through the
enemy.
There is no possibility of reinforcements adj
vancing before February, the transport service
being deficient. The German staff derideS the
imbecility of the Indian commissariat depart
ment. The Queen considers the mistake SO
grave that it is reported she is disposed to
abandon the ministers Afghan policy.
LONDON, Dec. 20.-A despatch from Bonn
bay to the Standard says Gen. Roberts reports,
under date of the 18th inst, that he has hello
graphically communicated with Latabond for
a few minutes and has learned that Gen.
Cough had not yet advanced beyond Jagdal-
lax
