AFGHAN BOTHER.

SIMLA, May 2.

A communique states that a letter dated May 28 from Amir Aman Ulla addressed to the Viceroy and asking for a cessation of hostilities has been received at Peshawar. Its arrival at Simla is awaited. The following is a certified copy of the Amir's order to the commander of the Afghan easter army (and presumably to other commanders), attached to the letter. May it be known to our exalted and dignified brothers Dost Muhammed Khan of the civil and military and Naib Salar of the eastern side that according...to in- formation received by us these days. from the exted Government of India it appears that fighting has taken place between the troops of the two sides owing to some misun derstanding. You should suspend hostilities until the door of discussion and communication has been opened as we had no intention, of fighting! with this old friend of ours and were obliged to take defensive measures. Now that he also desires peace we order and command that you keep back your regular troops and tribes of Mujahidin Ghazis for whom we are liable and responsible with your mas. terly efforts and wait for further orders. You should, however, keep in view defensive and offensive pre- parations if theresult of the discussion between your sublime Government and the illustrious British Government is peace or otherwise. I shall inform you. that is to say you, should suspend action until further orders. Dated May 27 1919. Amir Aman Ulla."
