LATEST FROM THE FRONT.

4 rumor is current that the conflict
between the Russians and Afghans arose
| IL the following way: Some OF the Eng.
lish officers stationed at the Afghan out
posts invited some Russian officers on the
| other side to breakfast. The Russians
were unable to accept the invitation, but
they sent an invitation to the English
officers. The latter accepted and stayed
in the Russian camp until late at night
and then asked for an escort. General
komaroff disguised some Of his officers as
priyates to accompany the escort, with
the object Of obtaining news Of the AT
CHAN forces. When the escort arrived at
the Afghan camp, one of the Russians was
observed taking notes in his pocketbook
The Afghans tried to take away the book
when struggle ensued and shot was
fred from which side is not known. The
Russians hurried back to their camp, the
Russian troops were called to arms, and
the Russians were advanced against the
Afghans next morning.
LONDON, April IL The effect OF Gen.
Komarof7s detailed statement, which
showed that the Afghsns provoked the
recent battle, has been weakened by re-
ports received by way of the Austrian
telegraph on the Russian frontier, that
Penjdeh was occupied by Col. Alikhanoff
on the Cd instant. Gen. komarof states
that he was obliged to occupy Penideh
in order to stop the pillaging of the dis
trict by the Turkomans, and the Afghans
had threatened to resume offensive opera.

The Russian Minister of War has sent

their rank.

The New York Sanitary Inspectors,
detailed to examine the condition of the
principal Italian quarters Of that city,
give shocking report OF the life and
habits of that class of foreigners. All
those visited were crowded in filthy
apartments, where they cooked and
slept. They get all their food from the
ash barrels; they scrape remnants of
meat from The bones, and cat them with
the bread picked from ash heaps and
barrels, and they smoke cigar stumps
picked up in the street. Six families OF
twenty.one persons occupy six rooms in
one house, with but one closet for the
three houses. Some Of the sights wit.
messed are too filthy for description.

From Dir. J. 2. Nelson, the railway
contractor who built the Texas Mexican
Railway from Corpus Christi to Laredo,
| and who is now building 300 miles of
railway in Central America, a reporter
obtained the following interesting state
ment:
"In that part Of Central America the
principal game is monkeys. The natives
are very fond OF monkey, which is rather
palatable even il you do feel like can

Hunting monkeys is pretty fair sport and
the sagacity of the animals make it in

America vary in size and there are sew
eral species They remind me consider
ably Of the Liliputians, of Gulliver's trav-
els, and when you go hunting and kill
them you feel as if you had been cunning
for the human species. Darwin's theory
encounters you in your dreams, and the
baked monkey served before you reminds
you of yearlng child. You don't eat
much of it at first and after you have
eaten it you feel like you hadn't ought
to, but, like the natives, you finally be.
come so intimate in your relations with
the monkey diet that you will not think
your dinner complete without slice Of
chimpanzee or a spare.rib of baboon.
The meat ia tender and rich in favor if
the monkey is not old, and the natives
understand preparing it so as to make it
very toothsome and palatable. They
season it highly and serve it and carve it
admirably.
"There is considerable sport in hunt
ing monkeys They have been hunted
so much in the section where was that
they are exceedingly shy and decidedly
up to snuff, so that the monkey makes it
very interesting for the hunter before he
bags his game. and it takes very fine
shot to get him. Beside monkeys, we
hunted parrots and tapirs. The tapir is
nondescript, something like mixture
of hog, buffalo and COW, and has a
three-ply hooi. The tapir is only found
in the mountains, and he is another Gus,
toner who is pretty hard to get. Game
of other kinds is very scarce there, and
