The Afghan Question. THE FORTIFICATION OF HERAT. The Russians Continuing their Communications. I ["TIMES" TELEGRAM.] I CALCUTTA, Sunday. The work of fortifying Herat is making steady progress. Three thou- tand men are engaged, so the city should soon be prepared to resist a sudden attack, if not a long siege. The garrison, 12,000 strong, is encamped in the neighbourhood. Further British contribu- tions, in the shape of a quantity of gunpowder a.nd a number of pickaxes for fortification work, are now being sent thither. Colonel Mirza. Attaulla Khan, the British Envoy, arrived at Cabul on the 9th. A guard of honour met him at the frontier, and he was hospitably entertained at Jellalabad and other halting places. On arriving at Cabul he was received with considerable ceremony and much cordiality by the Ameer, who, he reports, showe him the greatest kindness. Reports have reached India which, if trust- worthy, and there seems no reason to sdout their authenticity, show that the Russians are steadily pushing on their communications. It is stated that a contract has-been given or making a rail- way from Merv to Charjui and that the Askabad lino has been completed to within a march of Bami, also that the road is finished to Geok Tepe Bami, also that- the road is finished to Geok Tepe and that work has been begun on the Merv- Tejend section. The canal works in the neigh- bourhood of Merv and the Tejend are also said to be progressing, and the rebuilding of Merv is in contemplation. A number of labourers are being sent from the Punjaub to the Bolan and Hurnai Railways. Now that the cholera seems to be dying out, it is koped that the work will proceed rapidly, al. though the heat is reported to be very great. General Macgregor, with Majors Nicholson and Browne, left Simla on Thursday for Quetta, where they will consult upon the various questions of frontier defence, especially as to the site of the intrenched camp in the Pishin Valley.
