VIVA, rs TINS About Ceding Penjcdeh


London, April 17.-Earl Dufierin,
home government regarding the Rus
sia-Afghan boundary question, said
that in his opinion Penjedeh was not
worth fighting for, as the ameer has
for long time had very little con-
troll over the tribes In its vicinity, and
that they were in continual state of
revolt, and source of much uneasi-
ness to the amecr. The latter, he be-
lieved, would willingly concede Pen
jcdeh to Russia in the interest of
peace, as it would also likely pre-
vent cattle raiding OH the border. 1t
is announced that the cabinet, after
discussing Earl Dutierin's message,
adopted the same view on the matter.
