AFGHANISTAN.
THE NEW AMIR FRIENDLY TO BRITAIN. (Received March 4, 2.15 p.m.) London, Feb. 27. In the House of Lords, Lord C'urzon, Secretary for India, in reply to a question, said he did not know whether th" Amir's assassination was due to religious, fanatical, or politicalreasons, or domestic intrigue. He paid a tribute to the late Amir's loyalty to Britain, adding that apparently he would be succeeded by his brother, Masuilla Khan, who immediately sent the Government of India a note couched in the most friendly terms. A suitable reply had been sent. There was no leason to suppose there would be any interruption of the friendly relations between Britain and Afghanistan, whose independence Britain desired to maintain. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
