dence in the pacific intentions of Russia
as was manifested by the late Gladstone

They have sent large body of troops to
that stronghold. and have given them mod
ern muskets in place of the matchbox
guns that have done duty in the border
wars of century. And the Russians,
while they have been indulging in peace
full protestations, have been sending SOL
diers 10 the front. Tuesday there was a
report that Afghan troops were advancing
to the frontier line: "Wednesday there
came report that the Russians were about
to seize the Zulticar Pass, by which thew
may menace Herat in the rear. Lord
