Of the recent fight between Afghans aud Rus
slams in the 'Pamircountry.
A party If Afghans% encountered a small bo-
dy Of Colonel Yanoff's troops near Ak lash
and in alteration at once began between
the leaders.
Eventually the Afghan commander drew
his revolver and shot down the Russian OH
Ger. This was the signal for the beginning
of a regular melee, in which seven AtghanS
were killed. The Russian losses are not re-
ported.
Russian troops have now arrived at fond,
situated between Shignan and Roshan, on the
Oxus.
The Afghans are reported to have retired
to Faizabad, while it is stated that the Chi
nesehave fallen back from the Pamlrs north
ward to the Murghab River, thus leaving the
way open to the Russians,
The news of the cession If a portion OF the
Pamirs to Russia by the Chinese has not reach
ed Simla.
The fact with regard to the matter seems
to be that the Chinese had a number OF out
posts to the west of the Ak su River, IN the
debatable territory, which the Russians hold
to be Individually theirs, and that these out
posts have been withdrawn to the eastern side
of the River Ak.su.
This would not imply a withdrawal OF CHI
nese troops from territory which belongs to
the Chinese empire by treaty.
