THE AFGHAN FRONTIER.
Russia Stin Procrastinating In Regard to a
Settlement.

LONDON, May 15.-In the Heuse of Com.
mons, Mr.. Gladstone stated that he did not
know whether Russis's answer concerning
the Afghan frontier agreement reached by
Lord Granville, the Earl of Kimberly, Baron
De S'aal and NJ. Lesssr, and submitted to the
Gar for approval, had yet arrived in London.
The negotiations between the two Govern
ments continue Mr.. Gladstone said, and the
Government were unaware of any further
Russian advance. the latest kilograms re-
eeived making no mention OF any advance.
A st. Petersburg dispatch says: The
Russians have at the present moment 100 001
men between the Caspian Sea and Herat
According to the best military estimsts,
Rutsias position is practically unassaiaoiv,
and it would be madness for an Anglo-IndiaI
army of less than 250 600 to attempt opera
ting in Central ASA against Russia"
The Standard. in an editorial, says: ITO
speak plainly, the drift of the Anglo Russian
agreement, which was sent to st. Petersburg
fer approval, is found to be wholly unac'
ceptable to the Cars Ministers Though not
formally rejected, it has been so thoroughly
condemned in detail that practically it hiss

Russia has entirely rejected the British
proposals. The same dispatch also stes
that Russia will demand the right TO

tive at Csbul, the capital of AfghanIsssn.
