ANoTHDR STORY ABOUT THE INCIDENT.
Adyices from Turput, under date of
April 49, state that the result of all IN
quiries show that the attack on Penjdeh
by the Russians was absolutely unpro
voked. Capt. Yates, who remained in
Penjdeh in order to see that the AT
II, had an interview with tho Russian
chief OF staff the day previous to the
battle, at which he pointed out that the
Afghans had occupied the west bank of
Kushk river since the 18th OF March,
The Russians complained of the de-
meanor of the Afghan troops and OF the
aggressive preparations apparent in
their lines; also, that the Afghans
had detained some Turcoman
OF lNah I N htpNt
in the Russian service. They
further accused the Afghans of recon-
Motoring with the sweeping charge OF
arrogance. The facts were that Gen.
Komaroff had pushed 5000 troops for
ward to commanding position before
the Afghans, who naturally proceeded
to strengthen their weaker outposts
This led to the Russians alleging AFRO
gance. The Russians evidently wanted
to deal telling blow to the Afghans in
order to re store their waning prestige
in the Turcoman country, and were
obliged to invest themselves with pre-
text to break the truce. The attitude o.
the Afghans was studiously moderate
and there is no color to the pretens,
that their movements were even irrita
ting. They even allowed the Rus
SLAMS to inspect their arrangement
at Pull Khisti. Gen. Komaroffi
TROOPS are T5pOII6u W ubNb WlLnuTdWI
from Pepideh after the battle. Thei
withdrawal, however, was a mere rus,
by which they sacrificed nothing anC
which it was calculated might moderate
the resentment that was certain to bl
shown when the news reached Eng
land. In India tho effects OF tho Afghan
defeat are already painfully obvious.
RUSSIA DECLINES.
1t is stated that Russia declines t
subscribe to a distinct and definite oil
legation that she will on no account ad
vance her forces beyond the boundar
