The Marquis of Harrington Defines the POSI-

Britain.

LONDON, July 26-Iu the house of COM
mons tho Marquis of Harrington, secretary
for India, replying to an inquiry said the
communications with Abdurrahman Khan
were opened by Lord Lytton and continued
by the Marquis Of Ripon, the present viceroy
of India; that no formal engagement has been
entered into with Abdurrahman Khan; ho has
simply been recognized as amcor Of Cabul; no
foreign minister or foreign interference will
be allowed at Cabnl temporary assistance is
promised the ameer he will not bo asked to
receive British minister, but mahommcdan
envoy will be sent TO Cabul on behalf OF
India, and il is hoped tho troops will shortly
bo able to retire, handing over the city to the
ameer.
Lord Worthington also said that tho uncor.
tainty of Afghan politics was so great that 1t
WAS impossible to feel that oil our troubles
there were ended, but arrangements for tho
retirement of troops wero not altogether con-
tingent upon tho proceedings OF Ahdnrrahman
Khan on the people Of Afghanistan.
General Stuart was amply strong to hold
his own against any hostile demonstration
and to retire when and how nc thought fit.
Abdurrahman Khan had been informed that
no negotiations could be entered into as yet
respecting Candahar or the districts named
In the treaty of Gundamuek. Ho was also
informed that Great Britain does not con-
slider Afghanistan within the sphere of intor.
ference by any foreign power, and that tho
rulor of Cabul cannot have relations with any
foreign power except Great Britain; that If he
conform to her desires anl was guided by her
advice Great Britain would assist him against
unprovoked aggression by any foreign power;
that Great Britain would not Interfere in tho
internal affairs of Afghsnistan aud would not
ask him to accept a British president. Prob.
ably ut the conclusion of our arrangements
with him an envoy will be sent to hold com.
munications with him. Whether these ar
rangomonts shall be embodied in formal
treaty will depend mainly upon Abdurrahman
himself, the desire he eynces for our friend
ship and 10 follow our advice, and, above all,
upon his treatment OF those cliefs and tribes
who have been our friends during the past
two years.
