Abstract
MAJOR-GENERAL PRJEVALSKY started on Thursday last on his fifth journey of exploration in Tibet, with the intention of penetrating, if possible, into Lhassa, the capital. The General, with his officers and Cossacks, will this time take advantage of the new Central Asian railway as far as Samarcand, whence they will proceed to Semiretchinsk, and so to the Tibetan table-lands. General Prjevalsky will, it is thought, on this occasion have the best chance ever afforded him of entering the forbidden residence of the Dalai Lama.
