CALCUTTA, April 7.-If present indi-

Of the Peshawer division of the Puniab,
have risen in arms and are attacking
the British troops along the whole

that the Miranzai attack is being pushed
so vigorously that strong re enforce
ments have been hurriedly dispatched
to the front. Full details as to this
new uprising are naturally withheld by
the British authorities here.
Lieut.. Forbes and Five Men Killed.
In addition to the Miranzai troubles
kilograms from Rangoon announce that
the Haiku Chins laid in ambush in a
favorable locality awaiting the passage
of small British column on the way
from one military post to another.
When the British force was well inside
the trap laid for it, the Haiku Chins
suddenly opened fire upon the soldiers,
instantly killing Lieut.. Forbes and five
men, and stretching eleven others se-
verely wounded upon the ground. This
column, however. returned the enemy's
fire with such effect that the British
force was enabled to retreat from the
dangerous position into which it had
been led and thus probably escaped total
annihilation.
Lieut.. Grant the Only Survivor.
A dispatch has been received from
Lieut. Grant in which he says he be-
lieves that he is the only European who
escaped from the recent massacre in the
province of Assam.
Strong comments are made here on
the blunder of the officers in sending
such small force to Assam 1t is
further pointed out that the residency
was provided with Martin rifles, while
Commissioner Quinton's escort was
armed with Snider rifles. 1t was on
this account that the ammunition gave
out, the supply of cartridges at Man
ipur being of no use for Snider rifles.

tion OF the gold discovery was short
paragraph in the former, under date of
the 18th of March. stating that gold
mine had been found at Sutter's Mill.
and that package Of the metal worth
thirty dollars had been received at
New Helvctia. Five weeks later the
Star announced that its editor, E. G..
Kemble, was about to take trip into
the country. and on his return would
report his observations. He went to
Coloma and either saw nothing or un-
herstood nothing Of what he saw, for
he preserved absolute silence In his
papfc about his trip. On the 10th OF
May. after number of men had left
San Francisco for the mines, he came
out with the opinion that the mines
were a SHAM" and that people who
had gone to them were ''superlatively
silly" The increasing production OF
the mines soon overwhelmed the
doubters; and before the middle OF
June the whole territory resounded
with the cry OF 'gold! gold! gold!!"'
as it was printed in one Of the local
newspapers. Nearly all the men hur.
ried of TO the mines. Workshops,
stores, dwellings, wives. and even fields
of ripe grain, were left for a time tc

THE LATE n. c. AYREs.
Interesting Biographical Sketch OF This
irominent Dakotan.

VERMILIIoN, s. D., Feb. 2s.--The
funeral OF Hon. II. c. Ayres, who died
at Plankinton, S. D., on Monday night,
was held at Plankinton yesterday. His
family, consisting OF his wife, two
daughters and his son, T. ii. Ayres, Cd
itor OF the Vermillion Plain Talk, we're
present at the the services. Mr.. Ayres
had just concluded an address at the G.,
A. r. celebration in commoration of
Washington's birthday. Heart disease
was the cause. Mr.. Ayres was chair,
man Of the board OF trustees OF the Uni.
versity OF South Dakota, and in honor
to him study was suspended during the
funeral hours His death is generally
regretted here.
Mr. Ayres was born at Cleveland, o.,
April 27, 1896, and spent the greater
part OF his early manhood on a farm
lear that place. After being admitted
TO the bar he removed to Iowa in 1868
and settled on farm near Osceola.
He soon left the farm and
practiced law at Osceola, and was for a
time interested in the publication OF
the Osceola Sentinel. He afterwards
started the Beacon and ran it success
fully. In September, 1880, he received
the nomination for congress in
the Council Bluffs district on
the greenback or currency re-
form ticket and ran against w. L.
Hepburn, present solicitor of the United
States treasury. Though the first can
didate to run on that ticket he received
1000 votes, or nearly one-third OF the
entire vote of the district. In 1882 he
came to South Dakota and began the
practice OF law Mr.. Ayres at the time OF
his death was svice-presidept ofysae State
Wool Growers association and presi.
dent OF the Aurora County Wool Grow.
ers' association. In 1890 he was ap.
pointed as one Of the trustees OF the
University OF South Dakota, and on the
retiring OF Albert Free, OF Yankton, be.
came its chairman. His action as
trustee was conscientious and we'll
weighted, and by his death the uni
versity has lost one of its main support
ers in the state.
