AFGHAN DISRUPTION
NADIR KHAN’S SUCCESS. f United Dress Association.—By Electric ’ Telegraph.—Copyright.) DELHI, August 29. A disappointed aspirant for the throne of Amanullnh, Prince Mohammed Moan Khan, the nephew of the former Amir, who followed up his sensational escape from British surveillance at’ Allahabad by making a futile bid for power in Afghanistan, is now despairing of unity in his native land, and has returned to India and surrendered to the British authorities. He is now at Calcutta, waiting for a Burmah mail boat to take him into exile. He declares that the tribes will bargain with anyone who will give them money. ‘‘lf I had seventy thousand sterling,’ I could secure the throne,” he says. There was little hope of Afghanistan becoming united owing to the dislike of Raccha’s ruthlessness and- to General Nadir Khan’s suspected object for the restoration of Amanuilah. The only foreign Power he suspected of interfering with Afghanistan was Russia.
The latest news from Peshawar confirms the fall of Garde/, to’ General Nadir Khan, whose forces have taken 600 prisoners.
