British to ExpeI Him.
Calcutta, March 22.-Trouble in 'Chitral
or Little Cashgar in the south slope of the
Hindoo Koosh, is on the eve of renewal.
Umra, the Khan of Jandol, learning that
a British expedition was coming to expel
him from the territory which he invaded
a few months ago, when he defeated the
forces of the Mehtar Of Chitral recently,
collected 1900 mules to convey provisions
to a strong port where he intended to for
tify himself against the British. In the
meantime Sher Afzul. uncle of the ra-
jah of Chitral, who was murdered last
winter by his brother Ameer Ulmulk
captured the town of Chitral and imme-
diately sent propitiatory offering in the
shape of treasure to Umra, hoping by
this token Of friendship to avert further
attacks from that chief. The Chitral
troops recognize Sher AfzuI as their ruler
in preference to Ameer Ulmulk, who has
proclaimed himself rajah.
News was received here to-day of the
defeat of a Sikh company under Lieut.
Ross, by Chitralis Lieut.. Ross and sixty
Sikhs were marching to reinforce the
troops at Reshun. The natives, who were
behind breastworks near Karagh. fusi-
laded them and forced them to retreat.
They followed the company closely and
eventually hemmed them in on all sides
There Were about LOCO natives all firing
steadily upon the Sikhs. Lieut. Ross, forty
six Sikhs soldiers, and eight camp follow
ers, were left dead on the field The rest
of the force escaped. Another relief force
will be started for Reshun with all haste.

New Orleans. La. March 22.-The gen.
eral conference committee at their exec
tive session to-day came to the conclusion
not to vote further supplies for the main
tenance Of the militia now doing duty on
the levee. The vote of the meeting was
unanimous and the decision was arrived
at without much debate.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
the members of the commercial bodies
had done all they could be expected to do
in the premises, but relied on Gov Foster
being able 10 steer clear course in the
difficulty.
The conclusion Of the conference now
leaves the entire matter in the hands OF
the governor. His excellency's movements
will be watched with much anxiety by
the public
The following resolution was unani-
mously passed at the meeting:
Resolved, That ii is the decision of the
general conference committee in response
already more than exhausted the sub
scriptions they have been able to secure,
they cannot furnish more funds.
Gov. Foster was Immediately called upon
after the adjournment of the meeting.
The governor could not say what his
future plans would be IN the present emer-
gency 1t was better for him to keep them
to himself, for the present at least. He
would not say whether he Intended 10 con-
tinue TO keep the military in active ser
vice or not.
The general supposition Is that Gov.
Foster will advise with friends in the mat
ter and endeavor IN other ways to raise
the necessary means of sustaining milf
tary protection. No one believes for a
moment that he viii remove the soldiery
from the front until a settlement has
been made of the existing differences.
