PANJDEH, or PENJDEH

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 680 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PANJDEH, or PENJDEH , a
village
  of Russian
Turkestan
 , rendered famous by " the Panjdeh scare " of 1885. It is situated on the
east
  side of the
Kushk
  river near its junction with the
Murghab at Pul-i-Khishti. In
March
  1885 when the Russo-Afghan Boundary Commission should have been engaged in settling the boundary-line, this portion of it was in dispute between the Afghans and the Russians. A part of the Afghan force was encamped on the west bank of the
Kushk
 , and on the 29th of
March
  General Komarov sent an
ultimatum
  demanding their withdrawal. On their refusal the Russians attacked them at 3 a.m. on the 3oth of March and drove them across the Pul-i-Khishti
Bridge
  with a loss of some 600 men. The incident nearly give rise to war between England and
Russia
 ; but the amir Abdur-Rahman, who was present at the
Rawalpindi
  conference with Lord Dufferin at the time, affected to regard the matter as a mere frontier scuffle. The border-line subsequently laid down gives to
Russia
  the corner between the Kushk and Murghab rivers as far as Maruchak on the Murghab, and the Kushk post has now become the frontier post of the Russian army of occupation.
