PARIS, May 1.-THE Repablique Francdise, COM
menting on special advices regarding the state
of Afehanistap, reports that the Afghans
aggravated by the heavy taxation levied,
will rebel, and that anarchy will reign

to intervene on the pretext of establishing order
in the name of the Ameer. The present peace, the
Republique thinks. is only truce.

frontier line is fixed, the frontier points will
be occupied by the troops OF both
parties concerned 1t will then be the duty of each
to maintain order and security in its respective
territory"
