that stop him. The treasury department
managed to get along before he succeeded
to the secreiaryship, and would not suffer

EVENTS AT CABUL.


LANcERs AND DRAGONS MARCHING TO
AvENaE THE EMBAssY-IMpUTATIoN OF
RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE.
[DY CABLE TO THE HERALD.1
LONDON, Sept. ~, 1879.
A despatch from Bombay to the Daily
Standard, this evening, says:-"The greatest
excitement has been caused here by q report
that the Ameer of Afghanistan has been killed
by the rebels; or, according to another version,
that he has committed suicide" But up to
eleven o'clock last night no information Oh the
subject had reached the British government.
Indeed, the rumOr is discredited in official
quarters
The Daily Islegraphs Simla correspondent
mentions q report, originating at Kohat, that
message from the Ameer had reached Ali-Keyl
on Thurcday and been sent 10 the viceroy
The report, however, is not authenticated.
The latest despatch from Bombay says that
serious riots are proceeding in Cabul, and many
traders and citizens have been killed. Messages
have reached Candahar from Cabul urging gen.
eral rising against the British on the 18th inst.
Similar messages have been despatched to other
Afghan cities. The frontier tribes are still
quiet.
A despatch from Lahore to the Standard
says:-"S "Shikarpoor merchants, trading with
Central Asia, report that the revolt in Cabul is
due to Russian intrigues Russian agents have
been most active at Herat They have for
some months urged the Ameer's brother to de-
Glare against him, promising the support of the
Heratee regiments. They were charged by
the Ameers brother with being the cause of the
revolt against the Ameer and the English"
BRITISH TROOPS MARCHING.
According to despatch to the Daily Standard
from Kohat, General Roberts only left that
town for the front on Wednesday, the 10th
inst, and cannot, therefore, yet be making
dash for Cabul as before intimated. General
Massey, upon first hearing of the massacre Of
the embassy, pushed forward a regiment OF
pioneers to the Shutargardan Pass and formed
an entrcnched camp there. The previous ae-
counts from General Massey seem to show that
he had not sufficient force for any further advance
The authorities of India have been notified that
the dragOons and lancers, two regiments of in
fantry and three batteries Of artillery will
arrive from Natal before the 5th of November.
Special dispatches from India say that two
regiments of Highlanders and two regiments of
native troops are moving up the Khuram Valley,
and that two regiments Of native cavalry and
one British and two native regiments Of infan-
try are now on their way to the Khuram
Valley The statement that some Sepoys who
were with the Embassy were left alive is dis
believed.
