SHERE ALI DYING.

FURTHER DETAILS REGARDING THE AMEER's
FATAL ILLNEss-ARRIvAL OF THE. AFGHAN
EMBASSY AT TAsHKEND.
(Dy CABLE TO THE HERALD
TAsHKrNp, Turkestan, Feb. 23-7 p. M.
The details regarding the illness Of Shere
Ali contained in the Russian surgeons
letter have come into my possession since
sending the last despatch. Several days
after the departure of General Rasgonoff
from Tashkourgan for Tashkend with tho
Afghan Embassy, the Ameer of Afghanistan
summoned the doctor of the Russian mis-
sion, who had been lett at his request at
that town. The Ameer said he was
suffering from pains in his limbs.
The doctor at first thought that
the Ameer was deceiving him, as he had
been complaining Of various diseases and
had given his illness as an excuse for re-
nouncing his journey to st. Petersburg !;
but the doctor soon perceived that the cir
culation was defective in the limbs. of the
Ameer, and that the functions of the heart
were feebly sustained.
NATlvR pocroRrSo.
Unable TO procure leeches the doctor
wished to resort to cupping the patients
legs to blisters, but persons in the suite of
the Ameer opposed THO plan, and the
Afghan doctor present declared that he
would answer for the safety of his royal
