Operations Against the Hunza Niger Tribes
Suspended.

CALCUTTA Dec. 17.-The question OF further
operations on the part OF British troops against
the HunZa Niger tribes in the vicinity of Gileil
and Fort Nilt near the Pamir frontier is
settled for the present by the weather. Snow
has lallen In those places and the surrounding
country 10 such an extent that military opera
lions are impossible. 1t was feared communi-
cation with the troops would be cut off on ac-
count OF snow but advices dated the 18th
instant, were received today showing the fear
was groundless. The officers and men wounded
IN the recent storming and capture of Fort
Nit and the subsequent pursuit OF the tribes
men IN the mountains are still making good
progress toward recovery. The troops are well
supplied with food, ammunition, etc, in GUAM
titles SUFFICIENT to last until the snow dlsap-
pears.

cisco, were unable to come.
HIS last hours were peaceful, and he died
without struggle.
