The gur- riwn was composed of 165 Sikhs. com- inundml by Major Des Voeux and Licut. l'rult. Surgeon l’mll, Mrs. Des Voeux, her four children and MW) nurses were also in the fort. At «l o‘clock in the afternoon the enemy closed around the place to within ten yards of the walls, and at timl's rushed right up to them. The garrison repeatedly repulsed the tribvsinen at the point of the bayonet, and there were some remarkable ex- hibitions of bravery. A huvildur (nu- tive sergeant), with sixteen Sikhs, charged lulu the midst of 300 tribesmen nnd captured three smndnrds. Another hzn'ildur, with ten men,:rushed out to help the first party when the latter was hard pressed by the enemy, and bvrore returning they captured three additional standards. A subnhdfir (native captain) and two Sikhs dashed to the rescue of a. wound- r-d comrade, cut their way through the enemy nnd brought him 5:11er into the lUl’L. There was similar hard fighzing throughout Monday last and until the artillery or General Yeatman-Biggs tin-t ally scattered the Afridis. “'hen this was done the garrison of Fort Gulistan ‘ had been at their posts for thirty con- scentive hours. The casualties of the British force were two men killed and 2:8 wounded. The women 0! the an:- rison attended the wounded, under an unceasing heavy fire.

It is absolutely necessary to retrieve the reverse, and, meanwhile, the enemy. who were said to be disheartened and disinclined to fight, will be encouraged to organize a determined resistance. Probably the 3rd Brigadg which has reached Nawagai, will retrace its ,steps in order to support Gen. Jetfreys. It is impossible to offer an explanation of the mishap. \Ve must remember, how- ever, that it occurred in a country never before traversed by European troops _-.....¢_u n Dt’lUl’c llu'\la\.u VJ __.-r.,,, _ and very little known, the country of the Momunds, who also knew very little of the strength ultimately to be «.m- ployed against them. But there is rea- son to fear once again that a hick of complete intelligence as to the dispose tion or the enemy’s strength has led our commanders to undertake an opera- tion that cath be pushed through. Further details are awaited with anx- iety. It must be hoped that the Indian Government will give Sir William Lock- hart a perfectly free hand to choose his own men. He must not be bound by red tape regulations. Much has yet to be done 'hetore peace and order will be restored. The Daily News says: “It is very seri- ous news and gives the greatest impor- tance to the appointment of Sir William Lookhart to succeed Sir George White as CommnmlerJin-Chief in India. on the lutter’s retirement. which has just been amt-hilly announced. There is little doubt that his name will be heard with dread by the insurgent tribesunen." Bombay, Sept. 19.â€"â€"The advices from the front show that the various columns are advancing against the Mahmoukis from Punjkora and Shakadar. As yet they have met with no serious opposi- tion. but the difficulties of transporta- tion in a mountainous and almost path- less country are immense. Another tor- midable obstacle in the way of rapid movement is the lack of water. The brigade of General Jefireys had nnf inined in the advance. Yesterday The brigade of General Jenreys nau not joined in the advance. Yesterday it left camp at Anayat, with sixteen companies of infantry and four guns, in order to reâ€"attack the enemy at the village or Damodata. The enemy made a desperate resistance, but were driven out into the hills. The British demol- ished their towers and captured four hundred mule loads of supplies. As soon as the troope began to retire from the village the enemy reappeared in force. The retirement, however, was effected with great precision, the native troops behaving splendidly. Two Sikhs were killed and six wounded. ltis now known that the enemy‘s loss during the tight on Thursday last be- tween the Mohmunds and the second brigade of General Sir Bindou Blood, in the valley north of Anayat, was very heavy. The tribes engaged did not press the brigade during the retirement, but fresh tribestnen appeared. Captain R) der‘s company or Sikhs virtually owed their lives to an Afridi sergeant of the Umdes‘ corps, who, when the Sikhs had exhausted their ammunition and were desperately cutting their way back through the enemy, dashed up the hill under a heavy me with a. supply or cartridges. He arrived just in the nick of tune, as the swordsmen of the enemy were already among the Sikhs, who were absolutely unable after the heavy chmb and the hard fighting, to continue a successful struggle. -‘ '7, __---_AAA S LIL'L'L’BBL ux an. “60“" Lieut.

London, Sept. 18.-â€"The fact that no less than ten batteries of horse and field artillery have been ordered to em- bark for India during the months of September and October is much com- mented upon in military circles. Under ordinary circumstances the four batter- ies now in India would have been re- licved this month. But they have been ordered to remain, and, therefore, there ; will shortly be on the frontier fourteen batteries of artillery, a. full complement for an army corps.
