RUSSIA’S SECRET OPERATIONS.
An interesting revelation is made in a letter addressed by the late General Kauffman to General Bogdanovitch in 1878, published in the “ Moscow Gazette.” “At present,” writes the deceased General, “by the will of the Emperor I have assembled an army of dimensions as yet unseen in Central Asia, in quality fit to meet any troops in the world. Of course n march to India with this force is not to be thought of, but if we get any help on the other ; side, we shall be able to accomplish a good deal, and, above all, stir up such a mess that the: bulldogs; will not be able to shake themselves clear of. ’ It was in 1878 of course, that the Russian scare ” was greatest.
