Lahore, Pun5ab. April 17-That Great
Britain's attitude towards Afghanistan in
connection with Russian designs on He
rat, does not meet with approval at Ca
bul (the capital of Afghanistan) Is prov
ed by an autograph letter published with
the Ameer's consent, In which, after re-
ferring to the various rumors he adds:
Now, when Afghanlstan Is overwhelm-
cd on all sides, the British government
does not seem TO take any interest, but
enjoys the pride of aloofness and reserve.
Whenever / have suggested check to
Russian aggression / have had no re-
sponse from the government of India ex-
cept the suggestion that Afghanistan
might consent 10 the construction Of rail-
ways and telegraphs. This is impossible
as the Afghans consider that such a step
would mean their ruin. Notwithstanding
all these troubles / have proved for the
past twenty-one years the firm ally Of
Great Britain. But now at the last mo-
ment / must inform my powerful ally,
the government OF India, that the pres
ent is the time for deeds and not for
talk"

LANDSLIDE IN LOUISIANA.
Democrats Down CaGcry and the RE-
publican Element.

New Orleans, April 1.-THE election to-
day in Louisiana for members of the
Legislature and full state ticket result
cd in a Democratic landslide.
The ticket headed by Auditor Heard
swept the state from one end to the other,
and the Legislature is overwhelmingly
Democratic.
The vote was unusually light owing TO
the xecessive rainfall. To days was the
first election held undeI the legislation
defranchising the negro, and the battle at
the polls was fought almost exclusively
by the whites. Three tickets were in the
field, the Democratic headed by w. w.
Heard, the present state auditor; the
regular Republican. headed by E. s.
Reams, a New Orleans grocer, and the
fusion, embracing sugar planters, indie
pendent Democrats and Populists, headed
by Don Caffery. Jr., son of Senator Cafe
ry.
The Reams ticket cut no figure in the
fight.
The Democratic majority in the state
will exceed 25,OOO, based on returns already
in, and may reach $1,000.
The fusionists polled even a smaller
vote than expected. In the city of New
Orleans, between 1S,o0O and 10000 votes
were polled, and the Caffery ticket is
beaten from 1900 to 1900.
In Senator Cafferys district, which four
years ago went strongly Republican, the
Democrats were successful. The opposi-
ton 20 the Democrats has elected very
few members of the Legislature, which Is
nov mere Overwhelmingly Democratic
than at any time since reconstruction.
The Legislaur chosen to-day will elect
successors to Senators McEnery and Caf-
fiery.
The result to-day insures the return of
Senator McEnery and the election of Gov.
Murphy J. Foster to succeed Senator
Caffery.
The election was generally quiet. The
state ticket elected to-day was:
Governor w w. Heard; Lieutenant
Governor, Albert Estopinel; Secretary OF
State, John r. Michael: Attorney Gene
raj, Walter Guidon; Treasurer, W. S.
Fraze; Superintendent of Education, j.
V. Calhoun.

ON Their Reports.
London, April IS, a. m.-The govern
r,snt has chosen this as the moment TO
,nh,isb a dispatch from Lord Roberts
rronouncing censure upon Sir Redvers
puIler and Sir Charles Warren. two of
his most important subordinate command
ers. ta
This dispatch written Feb. 49, has been
IN the hands of the war office for five
weeks. Why it is published now, in the
middle of the campaign, is not understood,
unless il is expected that Gen. Butler
and Gen. Warren will ask to be relieved
of their commands.
The revelation of their incapacity must
tend to undermine the confidence of the
troops in their leadership.
Lord Roberts dispatch with the enclos-
ures is the great feature of the London
press this morning.
Whether the government has any special
purpose or not in publishing the dispatch,
the way in which it has been received
will make 1t more difficult to retain the
censured commanders in active service.
