MIII Helm the RritIsh

London, Mar. g--The Ameer OF
Afghanistan has authorized his agent
In London to publish the following
statement Of the policy OF Afghanistan
towards Great Britain and Russia.
After saying that he had devoted
much anxious thought To the possibil-
ity of Russia taking advantage OF the
Transvnal war tu advance through
Afghanistan and India, his highness
adds:
II have come to the conclusion that
Russia feared Afghanistan. as war
with the Afghans would mean n gem
eral rising OF all Islam, which would
spread through Russian Asia. Rus
sia had not troops enough to combat
such RISING. Her hold on the Mus
sulman countries she has conquered
Is insecure They hate her, and with
ten times her power, Russia could not
fight Afghanistan and India success
fully. The Afghans prefer death to
slavery, and their women and child
rem being taken by Russia" After
saving that he Is willing To send nu'
merous troops to help Great Britain In
the Trunsvaal. but adding that the
Afghans are unaccustomed TO the sea,
the Ameer adds But England :
troubles are always my troubles, her
strength Is my strength, and her
weakness is my weakness. England
must remember that am always
ready to fight for her on land, here
or In india"

Washington. Mar 9.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today
agreed on the report of the Hay
PauncefOte treaty amending the Clay
ton Bulwer treaty with an amendment
granting authority for the defense Of
the canal by this country when con-
structed.
The foreign relations committee was
practically unanimous In favor OF the
amendment. Some objection was
made by Senator Morgan (Alabama).
but he will accept the change in or
der to hasten action of the senate.
A quite elaborate report has been pre-
pared by Morgan. which will be sub
mltted to the senate at the executive
session when the treaty is reported.
II is the opinion of members OF the
senate that fhe change will cause but
little delay. The amendment simply
provides that the restrictions of the
treaty shall not operate to prevent the
United states from using It's own
forces for defense OF the interests of
the United states and maintenance OF

tion was made in The Citizen the other
day regarding the killing OF Samuel
Sandoval, and the capture OF his com

particulars were not learned. II nov
appears that Sandoval and Mestas en-
