SHATuRGARDAN PASS.
Tho Native Tribes that Have Deadly
Hatred for the English.
New York Herald |

The startling announcement that commune
catlon with the British troops has been cut
Of on the ShaturGardan Pass gives strong
ground for experimenting that the GhiIz.s,
who command that pass, have revolted. The
hiKotry and the fanatical hatred they have
ever shown toward the English lend support
TO the belief, and the fact that their leaders
protested against YakOOhs proceeding to the
British camp at Gundamak goes far toward
confirming IT.. The Ghilzais occupy the coun-
try living between the new scientific frontier
on the cast, the Gulkoh range on the west, the
Cabul river on the north and Khelati-i-Ghil-
zais on the south. In many places they
overflow these boundaries, for In the east
they come down into the tributaries OF the
Gomul river, and on many places they
cross the Cabul river. for certain Ghizai
villages are to be found far to the north OF
Jellalabad. The points where the Ghilzai
boundary crosses the roads cnnverging Oh
Cabul from Peshawur. the khurum aud Can
dahar are JuRdulluck, the scene OF the fatal
massacre in 1912; Jajee Thanna, on the near
side OF Shaturgarden, and Asia Hazara,
twelve miles south OF khelet-i-4hizai.
Nothing authentic is known OF them until the
British invasion Of Afghanstan In 1889. Al
though they did not fire the first shot In that
campaign, they certainly undertook the first
serious attack, just prior to the assault On
Ghizni. They were beaten Off with the loss
OF about fifty killed, n like number OF prison
ers and several hundred wounded. After the
entry of the British into Cabul the Ghilz4i,
