KHAN'S FORCES.
Called From ChitraI to Aid
Against Britishers.
10 Defend the Swat Csuntry-Severe
and Continuous Fighting,

srdLA, April 1o.-The report Of the
withdrawal OF Umra Khan's forces from
Chitral is confirmed. Umra Khan is ap'
parently now massing his forces on or be
yond the Panjkora river. The British
garrison In the Chitral fort Is thus vir-
tually relieved. The tribesmen north OF
the Swat river had another battle with
the British troops. and were scattered In
every direction. Details Of the fight have
not yet been received.
The distane which the British army
have to march from Peshawur to Chitral Is
about 200 miles. The route was first tray-
srsed by Pundit Munphool, native eS'
plorer. Another traveller in 1870 went
over ID and has given a full account OF It,
He first entered the Malaksnd Pess,
which the British have now forced, which
debouches from the hills almost due north
Of Peshawur, and which he found an ex-
eeedingly easy Que of 3575 feet between ad.
Joining peaks of 5000 feet to 1000 feet in al
tituds. He then reached Alladand, the
capital Of Swat. q small town OF BOZ
houses.
Three days after starting he came TO the
Swat river which he describes as large,
rapid stream, which he crossed on raft
Then ne passed over the Lurrum noun
tains into the Talash district, and In two
days time reached tho Panjkora river,
which he describes as larger than the Swat.
In Umra Khan's Province.
At this point Umra Khan's authority
commences. and days farther march
will bring the expedition to Miankilla,
the capital OF his hereditary state of jan
dol, which is the largest division Of Ba.
jaur. The journey from Mianlilai TO Dir
takes four days, and formerly the Bash.
gall Kafirs, who paid nominal tribute to
Chitral. levied toll on all travellers beyond
this place; but Umra Khan has put an
end to this brigandage by subjugstlng
this branch OF the Kaflrs.
West Of Dir is the Lahaori or Laharai
pass. close to peaks OF $4,000 feet, which
gives access from Dir to tho Kunar valley,
and which is believed to be held In force
by Umra Khan. In the Kunar valley it
self he has fortified the village Of Ash
reth, at the foot OF the Lahaori pass, as
well as Birkot and other places.
There Is prospect, therefore, OF pretty
continuous fighting along considerable
portion of the way.

Bush settlement three days and sudden
ly disappeared just about the time the
mule was taken. Two brides We're stolen
from Mr.. Bush's sons gate, and perhaps
taken by somebody who was thoroughly
acquainted with the place. The sheriff
of Appling county has been notified to
keep a watch on the man.
