kicked by them" Dazed by the treat

not knowing where she was. She was
found by gentleman passing. The girl
was brought to the city and cared for.
She Is in a frightful condition from the

The Afghans TAINTED Hin.

LONDON, May 1S,-A 81. Petersbur. dis
patch says Gen. Komarotf's latest dis
patches regarding the collision between
the Russians and Afghans near Penjdeh,
reiterates with fuller details his earlier &C.
counts Of theahair. He says the Afghans
sent taunting message to the Russians,
declaring that "they would thrash the
Russians as they had thrashed the En-
glish." The Afghans, Gen. Komarotf
again insists, fred the first shots and SO
were responsible for bringing on the en-.
gagement. General ikomarotf says he
learned from prisoners who were cap.
tured in the battle the Afghan leaders
had ordered the Sariks 10 furnish a
contingent OF 1000 men to the Afghan
army. The time which had been allowed
the Sariks to determine whether they
would comply with this expired on the
very day the battle occurred, and an
answer from them was expected by the
Afghans on that day. The etIert produced
by the Russian success on the minds Of
the neighboring people was SO great that
directly after the battle the Sarik and
Ersaick Turcomans offered their allegiance
10 Russia.
a few days after the battle, namely on
the 7th Of April, General Komarotf says
he wrote to Tab salar, the Afghan com.
mander at Psnideh, he had no further
aniniosity against the Afghans.

oil the rifle pits and they forced
their way across the plain and
seized the houses, and we are now mas
ters Of the place, and most OF my force
will bivouae there. Right In the heart OF
the action Mr.. Ashley came back with an
other missiye from Riel, as follows: Gem
