War it can now scarcely be termed yet there is
10 restoration Of peace. Hos,ilities, IN any reg

ceased, apparently from sheer exhaustion On
the part of the Katfirs; but still the Gaka chief
refused to submit. Still their followers Turk
in unknown numbers, IN their native mountains
and keep large body of the troops in incessan
Il motion watching, tracing, and, where possible,
shooting them downs and still by every post we
have fresh accounts of cattle carried off in the
night from farm houses, from wagons, and even
| from military pvsts-nearly every such account
| ending with the reclta that one or two Kafii
| were killed, and part or whole booty retaken."
