IN CHITRAL.
Fighting Bids Fair to Lead to
Results Of Importance.
Rescue OF DR.. Robinson-A Prelude
to Eventual Conquest.

SDfLA, April o-Two OF the brothers
and cousin OF Umra Khan. chief Of Jan
dol, the invader of Chitral, were present
IN the last fight between Umra Khan's
forces and the British, when the latter
forced the passage of the Swat river.
They fled after the British victory.
1t is reported that Umra Khan has re-
called his picked troops from Chitral To
Kaladarosh. IL this report Is true. the
Chitral fort, where Mr.. Robertson, the
British agent took refuge, is virtually re-
Neved.
England's latest frontier war In Asia
bids fair TO be a serious one, with impor-
tant results. No less than IA, 600 men are
hurrying forward toward Chitral by the
shortest though most difficult and danger
Gus route. Their commander is General
Robert Low, an admirable selection, for
he was the man who organized the trans
port for Lord Roberts famous march to
kandahar
The immediate object Is to rescue the
British representative DIR. Robertson, and
his comrades, who are beleaguered at
Chitral, and are In imininent peril. But
the final result bids fair Co be the conquest
of Kafirstan and its annexation TO the
Indian empire. Kafirstan Is u state lying
on the southerly slopes of the Hindoo
Koosh just east OF Cabul. and south Of
the Pamirs.
1t is nominally part OF Afghanistan,
but has long maintained a troublous in
dependence 1t was the home OF the great
Akhoond Of Swat, whose sway was per-
haps more absolute than that Of any other
ruler the region has ever had. The tribes
men there arc the bravest and most war
like of all in Central Asia, and they are
all afield to meet and fight the invading
Englishmen.
The wild fanatics Of Swat number at
least 10000 fighting men. Then there arc
the powerful and numerous Yusufzai,
said TO number 500, 600 people, and to be
able to bring 20, 600 swordsmen into the
field Bajaur has 5000 fighting men, and
out OF those Umra Khan has formed a
trained force. armed with rifles, OF 1900
men.
Another tribe which has long possessed
O reputation for turbulence and antipathy
TO the English is the Utman Khel, occu-
pying district west of Swat and north Of
the Khyber. They can bring 5000 fighting
men into the field; and again beyond
them are the Momands. mastering 10000
fighting men, but there Is hope that
neither OF these will be drawn into the
struggle.

make the parties even. This was the
