LONDON Dec. IL, 1879.
The Daily Ne,cs, in special edition, pub
fishes the following despatch from Cabul :-"On
Wednesday General Macpherson occupied
Sarkh- Kotal just in time to prevent the junction
of the Kohistanis with force from Ghuznee
The Kohistanis, who occupied position
near the Kotal, were attacked and
dislodged, leaving six of their standards. Our
loss was a few men slightly wounded. General
Baker was to move by the way of Char Asiab
to take them in the rear, while General Massey,
with force of horse artillery, two squadrons
of the Ninth Lancers and one squadron
of the Fourteenth Bengal Lancers, was to join
General Macpherson by the way of the Char.
den Valley for combined movement, with the
object of driving the enemy south on General
Bakers command.
MASSEY AND MAHMOUD JAN.
General Massey encountered Mahmoud JAMS
force, numbering 10000 Afghan Sepoys and
tribemen, and his cavalry made brilliant
charge, but without apparent effect on the vast
body Of the enemy. The country is most diff
cult, being cut up by numerous water courses.
-Four guns, in retiring, were upset, spiked and
abandoned, but were subsequently recovered.
The enemy made for the Cabul gorge, but
were checked there by detachment of the
Seventy-second Highlanders from the Shepur
Cantonment. The enemy then turned toward
Baber's Tomb, and now occupy the heights
south of the Bala-Hissar. They are admirably
1oJ hons of ora
armed with Snidcr rifles. They lost heavily
by the cavalry charge and artillery fire, and
never wavered. Our loss is believed to be
eighteen killed, including two lieutenants and
twenty-five wounded, including one colonel.
General Macpherson is now attacking the
enemy. The guides have arrived from Lutta-
bund and General Baker is coming from
Madam. The Times, in its second edition, pub
fishes q shorter version of the same affair. 1t
says:-sThe combined movement of Generals
Massey and Macpherson miscarried. The cavalry
arrived ut the point Of junction too early.
1t encountered large masses of the
enemy, and the guns, for a time, fell
into the enemy's hands, but they were after
ward recovered. The insurgents who are in
considerable force about the city, are being at
tackled this morning by General Macpherson,
who yesterday inflicted severe loss upon them.
THE OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
The official account of the engagement be-
tween General Massy's command and the force
under Mahomed Jan shows that General
Massey, while attempting to intercept the
enemy, was attacked by great numbers. His
cavalry before abandoning the field overturned
the guns and made repeated charges. The guns
were not recovered until the arrival of General
Macpherson's forces The enemy later attacked
the British in the hills south of the Bala-Hissar
but were beaten off with loss General Roberts
reports that the combination of the tribes against
the British is considerable.
