 Getting af lhs Bottom Facts.
 LONDON. April l7-Gladstone, In tho House of Commons this afternoon, stated that the government had to-day received from Sir Peter Lumsden 6 re- ply to their request for an independent report upon the Penideh incident. In thls 1t IS stated that Gen. komoroff was aware at as early date as the 2Sth of March of the understanding agreed upon on March l1th between Russia and En- gland. By the terms of this understand ing England was to deter the Afghans and the CZar was to deter his troops from advancing beyond the positions they then respectively occupied until some subsequent agreement about the demarcatiOn of the Afghan frontier could be reached between the two gov ernments. The battle on Kosk was fought several days after Gen. Komor- of had been made aware of the agree meDt to not advance. ItwIll 5a remem- beTed that Capt. Yates, the British officer who witnessed the battle, was as- sured by the Russian officer who com manded in the fight, that he knew noth- ing of the understanding of March 17th. Sir Peter Lumsden's present report appears to warrant the inference that whatever Gen. KOmoroff knew officially about the St. Petersburg agreement with London be kept 1t to himself Gladstone beng asked If the govern ment had protested against the recent occupation of Penideh by Gen. Komoroff and his establishment of Russian admin istration there. answered that the gov ernment had not yet made either occur renee the subject of official communica- ton with Russia. The government was awaiting further information, the Prem- fer said, concerning these events.

 LONDON, April 17-Earl Dafferin, ID a dispatch to tae Home government re- garding the Russo Afghan boundary ques ton, said, ID his opinion, that PeDi- deh is not worth fighting for, as the Ameer has had for long time but very httle control over tho tribes in its VI cinity and that they were in a continual state of revolt and a source of much uD- easiness to the Ameer.
