LONDON, May IA dispatch from Tirpul
dated April 90 says that the Afghans seem
enraged at the failure of England to support
them after their advance to Pul-i-Khisti
which brought on General Komaroffs attack.
They accuse Sir Peter Lumsden of deceiving
them and claim that England has deserted
them in the same way that Russia did in
1878. The representative of Afghanistan
who has been at Sir Peter Lumsden's head
quarters to advise hin of The Aineer's views
as to the proposed boundaries has made a
formal protest against the course of the
British commissioner. He declares That It
was shameful 10 encourage the Afghans to
resist the occupation of Penjdeh and then to
abstain from rendering them assistance when
attacked. It is believed at Sir Peter Lums-
denis headquarters that this attitude of the
Afghans is studied and insincere and that It
indicates some new and unfriendly design on
the part of the Amee..

will probably be considered necessary soon
