ST.. PETERSBURG, April 12.-The Journal
| de st. Petersburg states that Gen. Roma
| rof's return within his lines after driving
off the Afghans indicates that the russian
| attack was caused by hostile action OF the
| Afghan; thus the affair assumes q less seri-
| GUS aspect and becomes merely an acct
dental conflict. 1t is difficult to avoid con-
sidering the extremely strained condition
of affairs and the proximity OF Russian and
| Afghan outposts. The Journal expresses
a hope that the conflict will not interfere
with the negotiations now in progress be-
tween England and Russia.
The morning newspapers throughout
| Russia, with very few exceptions, com
| menting on the recent battle between the
| Russians and Afghans on the Kushk river,
are very bellicose in their utterances and
charge Earl Dufferin and Sir Peter
Lumsden with provoking war by advising
the Afghans to advance on ~Pul-i-hhisti,
which the British officials Knew was a part
of Russian territory. The Afghans, they
say, also fully understood that Pul-i-Khisti
was Russian territory and would never
nave attempted to advance their pickets TO
that point unless strongly urged to do so
by the British officials. The war party
fully indorse the assertions of those news
papers and are very pugnacious over the
affair.
