v Isr nositions of the previous day, and at
the same time the cavalry brigade under
Brioadier. General Hugh Cough advanced
nnon the left. and without difficulty reached
Arpandabi. where the force was well placed
for pursuit should the enemy break either to-
wards Glunesk or Kakrez The attack was
made by the first and second brigades, under
Generals Mcpherson and Baker respectively,
with the Third Brigade, under General Nc
Gregor, in support, the infantry being under
command of General Ross. An elevated
village within L. 200 yards of our position was
strongly held by the enemy, and had first to
be taken. This was done in q most gallant
manner by the Ninety-second Highlanders
and the Second Ghorkas, covered by tiliery.
The two brigades then advanced through
orchards and Enclosures, fighting steadily,
! the left of the Second Brigade being brought
around until the village of Piersparmal was
reached. At this point the enemy was in
great force and fought most resolutely, but
nothing could resist the determined advance
of the British troops. Shortly after
this reverse the slope of Baba Wall
was reached, and the standing camp OF
| Ayoob Khan became VISIBLE. All the enc
my's attempts to stem the current were
fruitess. BY u o'clock noon the camp was
in our possession, with twenty-seven pieces
of ordnance, which included our own guns,
lost on the 9th of July. The casualties, IN
addition to those reported yesterday, include
The Ninety second Highlanders has 81
wounded, three of whom have since died.
The Seventy second had II wounded, of whom
two have since died. Among the natives IL
were killed, and u wounded. Total num-
Der wounded about 30. The cavalry brigade
marches tomorrow to Tokeran, where it will
be well placed, and this will facilitate sup
plies being brought into the city. The
Nineteenth Bombay Infantry, with the
Third Bombay Cavalry, will march to-mor-
row to open up communication with General
| Phayre to whom l am writing, requesting
him not to push on too many troops, but to
utilize his transport as much as possible
in conveyance of stores and supplies.

LONDON, September 5th.- The Afghans
fought bravely until Bahia Walt was taken in

wild confusion. The cavalry pursued them
10 miles. Portions that held together were
completely dispersed and took to the bills.
This does not apply however to the Cabulese
regiments. Ayoob Khan escaped with
small following. The enemy's loss is not
known, but it is said that 400 fell In the
pursuit the enemy left 2O0 dead behind. At
Ninety-secord Highlanders, Ghorkas and pio-
neers charged the main body of the enemy
numbering many thousand men. The Eng
fish hold Ayoob Khan personally responsible
for the murder of Lieutenant McLaine.
Ayoob Khan fed at II o'clock in the morn
ing leaving McLaine and six Sepoys prisoners
They were soon after paraded for execution,
but five of the Sepoys escaped. The Afghans
only saved their mounted battery. The
enemy was so broken up that further pursuit
was useless.

alarmed and capsized it. Only half
