ANGLO-RUSSIAN CONVENTION.
Received September 25, 10.20 p.m. LONDON, September 25. The Anglo-Russian Convention has been confidentially communicated to (he Powers, and has caused a*i excellent impression at Teheran, allaying misgivings engendered by the alarmist press campaign, inasmuch as it is purely and ?imply intended to regulate mutual interests in Central Asia on a basis of amity and goodwill. Britain's position ill the Persian Gulf is strengthened by the inclusion of Banderabbas in the British sphere, and Afghanistan is maintained as a State.
The Times says that the engagements Russia has now entered into will afford every security that treaties can give against any further advance of Russia towards India. Moreover Tibet remains hermetically closed to both countries. In the event of complications we will be able to discuss them with Russia on the solid basis of treaty engagements.
