famine in Central Asia. The parts moat affected are Bokhara, Samarcand, Djing, and "the venntry of the Droomans. Bamarsand is. stated to be crowded with fugitives from Bokbsen, And in the Rusino outposts itable people are leaving for Tashkent. The cause of the fourelty
ahoribed to the intenso cold walsh prevalled Just winter-the soverest winter that has been knowuia Turkestan for naturies: In the spring the repil welting of deep aconmalation of snow gare flee to fonds, which daatroyed many of the irrigation canals near Bokhara, and carried. away the reservoirs of the steppe-country The zuhappy falabitants of Bokhara have the lost shoir winter sowings, in many case their fooks and herds, and their stores of water for sunimer. uso, besides suffering inundations that have la stroyed their homes, - In'consequinos of this the, price of corn has risen 200 por cont, and neces- saries in the towns have doubled, owing to the, arowding in of peasants anxious to cope: the fongat of the ensuing sommer. Tha Emir of Bokhara is quite unable to cope with the distrean in bis dominions The Turcomane, instead of visiting the Bokhara ospital for oors, ea mu-- tomary in the spring, have sent this year to Afghanistan wal Persin. It is feared that the famins will ponstrato further into Russian Lerritory.
