LONDON, Nov. l5-The newspapers Of
this city have received graphic details by
mail Of the recaptUre of Darsai Ridge by
the Gordon Highlanders on October 20
during which that regiment exhibited re-
markabIe dash and courage. On Wednes-
day. October % Gen. Biggs sent the Sec
ond division to dislodge the tribesmen
from Dargai Ridge. The position was a
very strong one, the enemy occupying the
summit of a precipitous hill. The top of
the hill could not be reached except by a
single path, along which the attacking
force. first consisting of Ghurka regi-
ment. the Derbyshire regiment and the
Dorsetshire regiment. was Obliged 10 climb

Iery shelled the breastworks of the Hill
men.
Darsai Ridge from the direction of the
assault, presents a frontage of about a
mile. the left end of which is sheer rock
for about 30 yards. In spite of the dii!l-
Guilty of the ascent, the movements of the
British troops were fairly well covered. ex-
cept in the case of low dip, or small
valley, from 100 to $50 yards wide, about
halfway from the summit of the cliff.
AS the Ghurkas, supported by the Der

fire zone, the top of the cliffs burst out
into fame. for a thousand tribesmen had
reserved their fire until that moment.
Though decimated. the Ghurkas struggled
across the dip and reached the shelter OF
a few rocks. where they lay down under
cover for a moment in order 10 recover

the World from Honolulu, dated October

the provisional republic of Hawaii, and
Chief Justice Judd are anxious to have
the Hawaiian annexation treaty adopted
as soon as possible. Said President Dole
TO the World:
The people Will never again submit to a
monarchy. In fact. there il no one suf-
ncientiy enjoying the confidence of the
people of the islands TO conduct the affairs
of state under a monarchy"
why do they not desire TO continue as
an independent rspublic?'
As the islands are so far awly from
other countries. and as the Asiatic popu-
lation Is fast Increasing in numbers Ii Is a
serious question. If they are left alone,
whether the republic could survive with
the willing consent of the foreigners. Be-
