RELIEF OF CHITRAL
Arrival of the Advance Column of
British Troops.
COL. KELLY BELIEVED TO Be TEE HERO
A Bombay Firm Offered to Supply
Umra Khan.
STORY OF THE ARCH

CALCUTTA. India. April 22.-A dispatch
was received at Simla this morning from
Sir Robert Low, the commander of the
British expedition operating against Umra
Khan, confirming the announcement made
in these dispatches last night that the
Chitral fort had been relieved.
The last previous advices received from
the front stated that the column command
ed by Col. Kelly. which had been advancing
upon Chitral from Gilgit, after passing
over the Shander pass between Gilgit and
Chitral. at a height of from 1900 to H.
600 feet above the level of the sea, had ar
rived at spot fifteen miles from Chitral
and it is therefore supposed that it was
Col. Kelly who relieved the British garri-
son.
Gen. Gatacre's flying column has reached
Dir and the main body is following rapidly.
sensation has been caused in military
and other circles by the discovery by Sir
Robert Low at Miankalaj of a letter to
Umra Khan from Bombay firm, offering
to supply him with every kind of modern
weapon and inclosing photographs of quick
firing guns.

lie, Standard, British Yoeman, Dovenby
Han, Mootlan and other ships, all having
a draft of 22h feet. But tho most forcible
disprover Of the exploits statement, is
the instance Of the American bark Pac-
tolus. The vessel arrived In Astoria on
her maiden voyage in May, 1892, drawing
% feet. AT the time the United States
cruisers Baltimore and Charleston were
in the Columbia, participating in the eele-
bration, and when 1t was proposed to
bring the warships to Portland, a great
how'd was raised by the croakers that
the cruisers would be endangered, some
going so far as to assert that the trip
could not be made, The clamor had the
effect of the navy department ordering
the Baltimore and Charleston Hghtered
to a draft OF 20 feet and brought to an
even keel before they left Astoria for
Portland The warships started up river
in the afternoon and anchored when
night fell The next morning Pilot
Moody now deceased, proceeded with the
Pactoius drawing % feet passing the
cruisers in the river and arriving in
Portland without hitch, ahead of
them" AN of which fully proves that
there is a 25-foot channel from Portland
to the sea.
