chancellor of the exchequer, speaking at
Exeter yesterday, said the outbreak at Cabul
appeared to have been unprecedented. So

surance that General Roberts will be at Cabul
in fortnight. It is said in military circles
at Simla the 9th of October is probably the
date of the commencement of a forward move,
because Of deficiency in wheeled transporta-
ton. A correspondent at Simla says those who
know the position of things declare the ad-
vance impossible. It ia reported that Cabul
itself is sacked by mob.
