LONDON, March "a dispatch from Teheran
states that the insurgent native chiefs Of India
have already raised the fiery cross and pro-

In the Commons, this afternoon, Mr.. Glad
stone said that public policy forbade his an

The Marquis of Harrington announced that
the government intends to increase the strength

The dispatches handed Mr. Gladstone this
afternoon by the Russian ambassador were from
the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, who
denies that the Russian occupation of Akrobat,
Zuleifakar Pass and Sariyuz was designed
to forestal the decisions of the joint
commission on the Russo-Afghan from
tier. He says the advance of the Russians
upon Puli-Khatum was only ordered after
the Afghans, in July last, during the negotia-
tions for the organization of the commission, oc-
cupied Penjdeh, when the Afghans withdrew on
the advance of the Russians. The Russian min
ister does not maintain Russias right to hold
the disputed outposts, but refuses to withdraw
until the commission presents its report.
The Daily News says: "Our relations with
Russia are perhaps not exactly strained, but the
events of single day might put upon them a
strain difficult to bear"

ment of the session today. The Democrats

remltted to future caucus, to be called when
better known.

yesterday from the Governor general of Cuba,
announcing that Carlos Aguero, the leader of
the Cuban insurrectionists, had been shot dead
while leading force against the Civil Guard at
Colon, which is forty miles by rail southeast of
Cardenas. The Associated Press received dis

killed by Civil Guards at Amarillas on Monday
evening.

years old, was made ensign for bravery, and
then reduced to the ranks for impetuosity in

similar offense, and then made captain again.

not far from the Gardner gun, when | saw the

Burnaby himself. whose every action at the

the shek headlong to the ground The enemys
spearsmen were close behind and one OF them
suddenly dashed at Colonel Burnaby, pointing
the long blade of his spear at his throat Check
ing his horse and pulling it backward, Burnaby
leaped forward in his saddle and parried the
Moslem's rapid and ferocious thrusts, but the
length OF the mans weapon (eight feet) put
it out of his power to return with interest the
Arabs murderous intent Once or twice Colo
mel Burnaby just touched his man, only to make
him more wary and eager. The affray was the
work Of seconds only, for the savage horde Of
swarthy negroes from Kordafan and straight
haired, tawny -comple Arabs of the Bayu-
da Steppe we4e fast closing in upon our square.
Colonel Burnaby fenced the swarthy Arab as if
he were playing III an assault at arms, and there
was smile on his features as he drove off the
at glance. With that lightning instinct which
have seen desert warriors before now display
in battle while coming to one another's aid an
Arab, who was pursuing a soldier, and had
passed five PAGES to Burnaby's right and rear,
turned with sudden spring, and this second
Arab ran his spear-point into the Colonels right
shoulder 1t was but slight wound, enough,
though, to cause Burnaby to twist around in his
saddle and defended himself from this unex
pected attack. Before the savage could repeat

acted, a soldier ran out and drove
his ord-bayonet through the second
assailant. Brief as was Burnabys glance back
ward at this fatal episode, it was long enough to
enable the first Arab to deliver his spear-point
full in the brave officers throat. The blow drove
Burnaby out of his saddle, but it required sec
ond one before he let 60 his grip of the reins and
tumbled upon the ground. Half dozen Arabs
were now about him. With blood gushing in
streams from his gashed throat, the dauntless
guardsman leaped to his feet, sword in hand,
and slashed at the ferocious group. They were
the wild strokes of proud brave man dying
hard, and he was quickly overborne and left
helpless and dying"
