sUsPEcTlNe THE CAR.
An Expedition OF Sc{entIsts with War
like Accomplishments.


LONDON, Aug a7-The Cossack expedi-
ton to Thibet under command OF Cen
Prjevalsky, OF the Russian army, is exciting
great deal of suspicion here as TO the real
motives actuating the car in ordering it.
Ostensibly the expedition Is not out for pur-
poses OF exploration, but it is suspected that
its real object is that of checking certain
English movements and preventing the in
augeration Of others over the Thibetan and
Bokharan borders. The exploration theory
has been made plausible by giving the ex-
pediuon scientific character, in its accom-
panying corps Of engineers. geologists, etc,
but the fact that the government subscribed
$1,000 roubles toward the expenses Il the ex-
pedition, as well as furnishing it with an es-
cort bearing much closer resemblance 10
an army Of invasion thnn an ordinary body
guard, strengthens tho belief that offensive
tactics are expected 10 be employed much
more frequently than defensive ones
