BRAVERY OF THE BRITISH TROOPS.

Simia, July 30.—A despatch from Cape

Malakand reports anoher night attack last orght CCuursday). [be natives fougit | desperately tor several boars, but were repulsed at all pots by the British. Boo tires bad been [ighted around the camp, }and inthe glare the tribesmen were easy targets forthe Briush ritlemen. Many fell, and in the livht of the flames tiie natives could be seen removing their dead, Le is reported that the Mlulleh was badly wouuded, aud that several of bis priveipal

| chiefs were drsabled.

ibe British lost one killed and seventeen

wounded, Among the latter was Lieat. LCusie€lico, WHO Was Wounded the secund titne. He had reee.ved aslight wound duriog the day attack on Wednesday,

The forces of the Mullah have been augmented by a strong gathering of the patives of the bills to tue right of the British posilion. Ti e theory Is thal the

‘The situation is the arrival of Colonel Reed, from

Boserwals have risea, now somewhat relieved by reipforcemenuts under Newshera.

A later despatch from Simla says on

Wednesday the enemy reiurned with rein- |

forcement-, and atten o’clock at night renewed the attack with «quai determinua- tion, charging, as on Monday nigbt, rigat up to the breastwork. ‘They were repuls- ed, however at all points. The British losses were much smaller tham on the previous night, being Ouly three officers wounded and two native soldiers killed and eight wounded. The enemy retired at daybreak, carrying off their dead, but the Brit.sh eoldiers were too mucn fatigued to pursue them. A renewal of the attack 1s expecied to-night (Thursday,) but the troops are 90 strovgly entrenched that no anxiety is feltas to the result. Large supplies of ammunition are en route by railway to Nowshera. Major Taylor has died from his wounds, The list of casual- ties weli illustrates the necessity for ap in- crease in the number of British officers in the native regiments. Heavy losses are almost inevitable in thie sort of fighting and the officers are bound to expose them~- selves while leading their men. As the operations will be carried on a com- paratively large ecale, all the forces, in- cluding reinforcements now en route, will be formed into a division of two brigades

with acomplete staff, the whole under '

command of ‘Colonel Sir Bindon Blood. The first brigade will be commanded by Colonel Meikeljohn and the second by Colone) Jeffreys.

A few days ago some thousand fanatics surprised another force in Chitral and again caused a eevere joss in officers and meo, » hile the following despatches re- ceived today chronicle more fighting in the same region. Telegraphic communica- tion with Malakand has been re-opened. After severe fighting the North Malakand camp has been abandoned and the troops are concentrated on the Kotal. Fighting commenced on Jaly 27 at 8.30 p. m. On that day the enemy made a determined attack on our portion and did not retire untii daybreak. Throughout July 28 desnitory fighting in the vicinity of the camp occurred, the enemy driving in the pickets of the 3ist Pusjab [ofantry, with 12 killed and 19 wounded. At one time during the fighting the 45 Sikns were hard pressed, losing one killed and fifteen wounded. The 24th Punjab Infantry, led by Lieut Climo, drove back large bodies of the enemy, who lost about 90 killed. As the enemy are, however, still collecting in large numbers, further hard fighting ia anticipated.

Dargaie has been reinforced by fifcy rifles The total British loss in the two days fight- ing is 13 kilied aud 43 wounded. Serzt. Byrne, of the Madras Sappers, was among the killedjand the woundea include Lieut.

| Ford of the 3lst Puvjab Infantry, who is

severely hurt, Lieut. Swintry, of the 37th Dogras; Lieut. McLean, corps of guides, and Lieut. Costello, 22nd Punjab Lofartry, slightly. ‘The Malakand garrison is short of ammunition, and every effort is being made to hurry on the reinforcements, The Daily Mail says this morning of the growing uneasiness: “The Chitral rising has already assumed proportions that throw the Mazari treachery inte the shade, and the situation of the garrison is momen- tarily growing more desperaie. It must be evident to the mere tvro that there is some connection between the two risings. Al- though possibla ceither has taken its cue from the Poona troubles, still as this year is but half through and has already broken the record in Indian difficulties and dis- asters, one isapt to ask, what next and where next? We are not alarmists, and we willingly acknowledge the activity and the courage witb which the Indian govern- ment is facing this time of trial. In fact, the world must wonder at and admire it, but we hope the home government 1s fully ready for further development for strength- ening the British garrison if necessary.”

The rea! truth is, these regions have never been thoroughly subdued. It would

; not be surprising to see troops hurried out from England, and in real truth, two ex-!

peditions are now pushing northwest against the rebellious tribesmen, who are vearly all fighting in so-called religious war. They are good soldiers and fair shots, are clever, tricky, daring mountaineers, who run no risk, and it will be a difficult task to get hold of them. The lose of life is certain to be great on the British side, chiefly among native troops, who are officered by whites. Any moment the news of the massacres of outlying garrisons may arrive, since it takes weeks to hurry reinforcements, and much may happen before help can reach there.

A Croce Catt.—A Digby, NS, despatch of July 30th says: During « thunder storm this morning the fluid struck the shaft of a milk waggon belonging to Albert Hayden, who was on his early morning rounds, splintering the shaft for about half way down and tearing out the meta! hook to whichthe back saddle is attached. The horse, though alarmed, was not in- jered in the sligotest. A few seconds before the flash Hayden had been arrang- ing the harness wherethe lightning struck.

Sawpust Porrivce.—A retired gentle man who lives at the South end is very par- ticular about his porridge and cream each morning. Laat week anew servant girl was hired and the next morning she commenced to boil the porridge. After dishing up what she supposed to be por- ridge, she placed it before her master. He poured his cream over it, but the flavor was very queer. He kept on eating how- ever, and on account of it being the first meal cooked by the new servant he did not make much fuss about it. The next morning, however, while the girl was again boiliag porridge the mistress of the house came down to superintend. The porridge would not thicken avd after making enquiries she found that the git] had used sawdust instead of oatmeal. The sawdust had been kept in a bowl and was to be used to make pin cushions, etc. When the old gentleman feund he had eaten sawdust he became worried, and was not satisfied until he consulted a physician who informed him that he would not probably feel any ill-effecis from one dose of sawdust, but he would not be answerable for what would happen if the douse was repeated .—Halifax Recorder.
