London, May }. ,iumors are cur
rent in Paris of steady and contin-
ued Russian advance in Afghanistan,
but il is impossible to trace them to
any authentic source, and they have
probably originated from the news of
the Russian occupation of Penjdeh.
The official news agency in Paris,
which is supposed to represent the
views OF the French cabinet, have
published a London dispatch dwelling
on the fact, that throughout the dispute
Germany has given no indication of
the attitude she intends to assume re-
garding the controversy. The dis
patch says the German embassy in
London still holds as pessimistic a
view OF the situation as when every
thing looked desperate, and that Eng
| fish officials still fear that Germany is
unfavorably disposed toward England
and not anxious to see peace.
| The Times continues to urge the
| Government to persuade the ameer to
allow the presence of an English gar
rison at Herat The announcement in
1 the st. Petersburg Official Messen-
ger Is expected to have reassur-
ing effect, it being the first
intimation by Russia that she will
send commission to meet the En-
glish commission.
