At any rate, it is clear that the Demo-

The report that Russia has occupied
Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan in a politi-
cal military sense is probably without
any more foundation than the story Of
an Afghan attack on Russian fort nj
Khushk short time ago, but It would
not be surprising if this last report We're
merely premature
II was known when the British mis-
sion TO Tibet was pushing It's way 10
Ihasa, last autumn, that a Russian Cos
sack force with light guns had left Osh,
near the head OF the Central Asian rail-
way at Andijan, and that a part of it was
going 70 Kashgar, toward which a road
for wheeled vehicles was being con
structed through the mountains between
the Russian and Chinese territories. The
other part was said to be intended to
watch the passes from kashmir into the
western Pamirs and Chinese Turkestan
This was also about the time that the
difficulty between the British Indian Gov
eminent and the Maharajah OF Kashmir
came 10 a head over the question Of the
compulsory surrender Of his northern
territory and its occupation by British
troops, in exchange for two insignificant
districts in the Punjab on his south
crn border. On the receipt Of an ulti-
matum on the subject the Maharajah in
durbar drawing his sword, exclaimed
that that was what Lord KITCHENER
would have to meet if he came to take
possession Of his country From the
hs.tering way in which Lord AMPTHII.L.
who, while acting as Viceroy in Lord
CURzoN's absence, visited kashmr.
spoke of the Maharajah the other day
on his return to India, 1t is to be presumed
That the trouble has been smoothed over
aad that he will be left in undisuIrbed
possession Of his northern mountains
