a Russian outpost was already stationed
at Pul-i-Khiisi ana at the Afghan out
post at Ak Tepe. Gen. kOmarOf was re-
quested not to occupy Pendjeh. The in
formation furnished Russia cOrrespOnded
with what Gen. Lumsden had said, that
the Russians had occupied PUl-i-Khiisi,
and that an Afghan outpost was stationed
on the right bank of the Kushk river.
England's explanation that the Afghan
troops had been requested to stop their
advance entirely excluded the possibility
of assuming that the Afghans might ad-
vance their outpOsts to the left bank of
Kushk river, but when Gen. KOmarof ap-
preached Pul-i-Khiisi he found on the
LETT bank of the Kushk river, outside Of
the Pendieh district, a fortified Afghan
outpost.
KOMAROFF FORCED TO FIGHT.
This being in contradiction with his in
formation, he was bound for the protec-
tion of his small detachment to request
the Afghan commander TO withdraw his
troops from the left bank of the river. The
Afghan refusal to do this was the direct
cause of the battle on March 80, hence it
is evident that the intention attributed to
Gen. k0maTOtf Of bringing on a collision
is in contradiction of the facts. Gen.
kOmarOH did not Overstep his orders
when he insisted on the evacuation
of the left bank of the river
Kushk. Russia is unable at
present to say why the orders mentioned
above, and which agreed with the con-
firmation received py England, should
have been interpreted in a different man
ner by the British officers attached to the
Afghan detachment which occupied Pend
ieh. Gen. K0marOtf's dispatch of April
Is contains explanations regarding
several points in Gen. Lumsden's tele-
gram of April II, concerning which Gen.
komarotf's final opinion has not yet been
received.
THE ONLY ROAD TO PEACE.
The Moscow Gazette says that if Eng
land wishes to avoid war she must evacu-
ate Port Hamilton, at the entrance to the
Sea of Japan, otherwise Russia will be
obliged to occupy Herat. The Gazette
also says that it believes that the ques-
tion of peace or war must be settled
within few days.

'Premier Gladstone's recent speech on the

The journal also says: ''It is no won

REIMpoRTED SPIRITS.
The COmmissiOnor of Internal Revenue,
Issues Circular.

Issues IA Circular.
WASHINGTON, April 30.-A circular
which has an important bearing upon the
question of the withdrawal of distilled
spirits from bonded warehouses, and
their expectation for the purpose of avoid
ing the immediate payment of internal
revenue tax thereon, was issued
by the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue to-day. 1t is
addressed to the collector of internal reve-
nue. at Boston, and relates to a certain lot
Of distilled spirits belonging to Mills s.
Co, Of that city. This firm sometime ago
withdrew from the wArcnouses and ex-
ported a lot of wllfalt9y wfieh tney after
wards reimported, but Which the col
lector of customs refused 20 admit
on the ground that 1t was whisky which
had been exported and reimpOrted with
the object Of evading the payment of the
internal revenue tax, when it would have
become due had the spirits remained in
the warehouse, and thus came with
in the inhibition of the decision OF
the Secretary of the Treasury based
upon an opinion of the Attorney General
that spirits Imported with the object of
reimporting them could not be admitted
under the provisions of section $500 Of
the Revised Statutes.
Mills & Co. appealed from the decision
of the Collector to the See
retary of the Treasury, who, in
the decision rendered several days agU,
sustained the collector but directed that
the spirits he turned over to the internal
revenue authorities. The circular issued
to-day authorizes the collector OF internal
revenue al Boston t0'surrender the spirits
to Mills & Co., upon the payment of the
internal revenue tax upon the spirits as
gauged at the time of their withdrawal
from the warehouse, without allowance

PRINCE AND POPE.
The Prince of Wales Seeks an Audience
of the Pope.

ROME, April 2s.-The English govern
ment has sent a secret agent here 10 sound
the Vatican as 70 the Pope's willingness
or unwillingness 10 give the Prince Of
Wales an audience. The agent has had
several interviews with prelates at
the Vatican, but. though warmly
recommended by Cardinal Manning
and other ecclesiastical dignitaries,
Il Is doubtful whether he will succeed IN
his mission. The Pope only once de-
parted from the rule not 10 give audience
to foreign princes who visit kAnR Hum-
bert. Exception was made in 1898 In
favor OF the Crown Prince Of Germany.
But since then the Pope has become less
accommodating, and that precedent Is
not likely 30 be followed.
It "a believed that the Prince OF Wales
would have double object IN coming here.
First. 70 arrive at an understanding with
the Vatican in regard 10 Irish bishops;
second, 10 persuade Italy 10 form an al
lance with England. Should be fnd it
impossible to obtain the desired audience
the Prince will abandon the journey
hithor.

PTTTsBURG, April 3O.--Figures thatwill
create a sensation in the iron business

of manufacturers for reduction OF

support of the demand has been
that on account Of low wages IN the East
iron could be produced there for so or $l2
