AFGHANISTANY
ALLEGED ATROCITIES AT CABULA
- THE AMEERREPORTED INSANE.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Telegraph sant the following somewhat sensátial tolegiant on Oct. 5
According to reports from Russiasi authorities in Central Asia, the Anicer of Afghanistan is growing insane, and serious troubles are impending to that country... Not only is Abdul Rahman unaccountably suspicious towards all Europeans there, but he openly regards the contribution paid to him by the Anglo-Indian Government as a subsidy for defending English territories from Russian attacks, and considers hipiscif entitled at any moment to join hands with Russin-on condition; however, that, the Czar's representatives will pay him well enough.
Recent occurrences in Cabul gave rise to the fear that the Amcer may sooner or later provoke a conflict between Russia and Great Britain, Dissimulation is a marked trait in Abdul Rah- man's nature. He had formed the intention of
leaving Cabul for Masuri-Cherif, where he would be in a better position for coinmunicating with the Russian Goverment. His little plan, however, was discovered in time. The dis covery drove Abdul Rahman' into 'a state of fury, and, when the journey had been abandon-} ed, to commit all sons of excesses.
A number of Afghans had talked at a bazaar of his intention to leave for Masari-Cherif. He ordered these to be arrested and to have their tongues cut out..
This did not completely satisfy his blood- thirsty instincts. At Cabul at present accord. ́ing to Russian--accounts, he santioning a series of terrible murders, which comfirm the impression that the Ameer has become insane. The last of the atrocities committed there had a high official for its victim. His legs were bound to two stakes of wood, which were fixed crosswise one upon the other. Then the woods. were drawn apart until his body was torn in two. Two piler officials in high places, Mirza Abdoul-Halim and Mirza-Abdoul Hakim, were bound together and sef on fire, and a Persian is alleged to have been thrown into a boiler and his remaine thrown to the Ameer's dogs.
In addition to these atrocities, reports are received of executions taking place every day. In consequence, an enormous number of Af hans are leaving Cabul. They are, seeking safely in the mountainous regions around or upon the Russian frontier. Largely on account of the disturbed condition of things in Cabul, and in order to stop incursions of Afghans into Russian territory, the Russian forces on the frontier are being strengthened considerably. All the actions and plans of Abdul Rahman are inexplicable, save on the theory that he is grewing hopelessly insane. Russia is watching affairs in Afghanistan very closely, because Krave events are taking place there, and because the health of the Ameer is growing worse and worse, and his position more and more insecure. THE BENSATIONAL REPORTS DISCREDITED: The Central News made inquiries on October foth at the London office of the Afghanistan Government with regard to the above reports. Mr. Guthrie, besides being the accredited representative of the Afghanistan Government in England, is a personal friend of the Ameer, whose guest he was at Cabul for an extended period. He had no hesitation in saying that there was absolutely no truth in the statements. As recently as the roth he received not only business but private advices from the Ameer himself and from the Sultana, who is His Majesty's favourite wife and his leading adviser, The Ameer said his health was good, and this was confirmed by the Sultans, who added, "It is all wall here These letters were written on the 18th of last month.
has
In answer to the suggestion that the develop mant reported might have taken place since the advices were penned, Mr. Guthrie pointed out that his Afghanistan information is not con- fined to the Ameer and the Queen, as she is popularly termed in official circles in Cabul, Guthrie is in close touch with the highest officials at the Ameer's Court, and moreover he
a son in the Peshawúr Office of the Afghanistan Government from whom he receives any important news by cable. But even if he had not those many sources for obtaining news of the latest developments in the Armeer's country, the fact that the report came from St. Petersburg would, Mr. Guthrie says, be sufficient to make him discredit it. Russia, he says, is the "very last quarter from which to expect authentic Afghan news,
COLONEL ADOLF SCHIEL. Adolf Schiel, taken at Elandsglaate, is a inan with a somewhat remarkable history and of considerable strength of character, says the Advocate of India. About thirty years ago Schiel, then a German Lieutenant of Hussars, left the Prussian service, and emigrated to South Africa. Finding himself without means he became an ox-wagon driver in the service of -Natal colonist-Energetic, intelligent, and adventurous, he soon started on his own account as a carrier, and traversed in various directions the whole of South Africa.
