AFFAIRS IN AFGHANISTAN.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10-A London dispatch
says there is rumor about town to the effect
that the government is in possession of start
ling and alarming news from India which it is
endeavorlng 10 keep secret until cabinet
council can be held to consider it. Moham-
med Yam is believed to have been reinforced by
several Thousand of Shere Ais regulars from
whom the cannon now mounted at Guzian were
probably obtained. He was assured political
as well as military authority, and is collecting
revenues in the name of Musa Khan. whom h e
pretends to regard as the rig htful and reigning
ameer, though temporarily kept out of
his capital by forcible occupation by the Brit
ish. He sent emissaries to Tuskistau COM
mlssioned to start up the people there to en-
gage in immediate warfare upon the British
as u common enemy and as the probabilities
are said to be that on account of his high repu-
tation as q soldier and commander in the wars
of Turklstan, he will have no lncOnsIderable
success in raising men to join him in Gadznai
or to begin hostilities on home basis. 1t is
not believed Gen. Roberts will hazard an adj
vance on Ghuzaai at least before spring. The
difficult nature Of the road between the cape
sal and fortress will of itself preclude this
during the winter, rendering an advance
almost or quite as perilous from Cabul as from
Candahar. from which point the contemptat ed
expedition is for the present abandoned. al
though the distance is only one third as great.
The rumor that Abdul kharum is raising a
force for Mohamed Yam is regarded we'll au-
thenticated. The fact that while Shuznon is
understood to be the most i'm portant center of
military operations of insurgents and is the
strongest fortress in the country, no efforts
proposed toward its capture is held here to
be significant of the existing situation of the
British in Afghanistan.
SENSATION IN A CHURCH
Another London dispatch, states that the
most intense excitement was occasioned to-day
by sensational scene in Halton Gorden italian
church. While the priest was celebrating mass
man in the audice fired pistol ut him. The
church was crowded, and the noise of the
explosion caused panic. The altar was
struck by the bullet and subseu uently flames
started out from the side altar, and the chuch
was damaged Ell 900. The man was arrested
after hard fight by the police. and when
taken into custody had long stilitto in his
hand with which he attempted to slab those
who seiZs him.
