Earl Granville sent telegraphic instructions
to the British Minister at St. Petersburg
yesterday which amount almost to an ulti-
matum Of the Russian Government respect
ing the latter's attitude on the Afghanistan
frontier. The dispatch is firmly worded and
plainly intimates that England is resolved at
all hazards to protect strategic positions In
Afghanistan or positions which might, in
Russian hapds, be menace 20 Englands
interests In India. The Minister Is In
structed to inform NJ. Giers, that under no
circumstances will England entertain Rus
sias demands for cesslon of territory by
EnGand's ally, the Ameer.
It's now known that Sir Peter Lumsden,
the British representative on the joint CON-
commission TO settle the frontier question,
recently resigned that position, giving as a
reason his pronounced views concerning the
firm attitude which England ought to take
| in the matter He was at once assured by
Lord Granville that the Government would
support him to the utmost in his resistance
| TO Russian aggression. On receiving this
reply Sir Peter withdrew his resignation
and proceeded on his journey. He Is ex.
pected at IIerat within few days.
As a further evidence Of England's deter
minatlon, Il may he stated that Earl Duff
erin, Viccroy Of India, was recently in
structed to specifically assure the Ameer o.
Of England's support.

thoroughness with which this work Is being
done, and the imperative tone Of the ORDER

Of extraordinary military preparations, LEAD

England and Russia Is rapidly increasing

tween the two countries hangs by thread
