sent Anglo Russian situation. He
expresses the opinion that Emperor
William should exert his influence to
avert war and also endepvor to induce
England TO make some concession. He
secuted the idea that Russia would
withdraw her troops from the position
at present occupied. Such action
would reflect dishonor upon the Russian
arms. In case England did not declare
war, he was certain in his opinion that
Russia would not do so. He thought it
extremely unlikely that England would |
declare war, as she has her hands full |
already. Degiers, the Russian prime |
minister is animated by desire for
peace. The influence of the war party |
in Russia has diminished since the
death OF Gen. Shobeloff.

pectation is that he will enter Herat in
case the Russians make any further adj
vance.
