BOMBAY, Aug. 29.-No fresh news
has been received here from the from
tier. An attack has been made in Shin-
Wari, in the Samana Range, but the at
tacking force was repulsed, losing five
killed and many wounded. There is
considerable excitement among the
tribes along the Bolan route to Quetta,
and the telegraph wires have again
been cut. 1t is reported that the tribes
men are gathering near the Ziaret Sani-
tarium and much anxiety is felt re-
garding the affairs of women and chill
dren there, as the railway officials are
asking for military protection for their
property. If the route is considered
safe the women and children will be
brought away, but otherwise, troops
will be sent from Quetta to protect
them.
The column under Colonel Gordon,
which was dispatched to the Samana
district to-day, is composed entirely of
native troops and is fully equipped. 1t
has orders to force the Kohat Pass if
necessary. Rumors are current tend
ing to throw doubts upon the genuine
ness of the Ameer's reply to the Vice
roy of India regarding the completely

disarming of the Khyber Rifles, which
formed a part of the garrison at jam
rud was complete surprise.
But the orders were obeyed without
any trouble. Much individual firing
into the camp at Jamrud has taken
place. Not a single shot was fired in
reply. Three native officers on watch
We're killed.
The hot weather is extremely trying,
but the health and spirits of the troops
are good. Fears are expressed of the
falling of Rustame, northwest of Mar
din, the whole distance being in the
hands of the enemy. General Wode-
house has gone from Mardin to Rus
tame, where the force, which now
amounts to 1000 men, with two guns.
will be strengthened
Confirmation has been received of the
rumors that the Afridis are quarreling
among themselves over the division of
the booty taken from the captured
forts. Only about 500 of them have
been left to guard the Khyber Pass,
the others having dispersed to seek
supplies and provisions. This is prob
ably the reason for the cessation of
hostiities
The general idea here is that if furth-
er delay occurs in furnishing the Afri-
dis, there will be a general uprising on
an enormous scale.

killed and a number of horses cap
tured. All the aforementioned places
belong to the center of LuZon district.
In the south, in the province of Taya-
bas, a severe attack appears to have
been made on the large and important
town of Lopez, on the Pacific Coast,
but details are not forthcoming.
The flood which occurred in Ka Ying
district is now gradually subsiding.
Nam How, Ho-Tin, Se-To, Cheung-
Tan, Tung- -Sheang, and Shu-Hang
are the places that have suffered the
most. A good many houses were
washed away 1t is reported that it is
the greatest flood recorded during the
last century in that district.
BOLD BRIGAND.
HONG KONG, July 21-Matt Salet,
notorious brigand, with 200 followers
raided the Government station at Pulch
Gaya, captured Mr.. Newbronner the
officer in charge, killed a corporal and
then sacked the treasury of $4,000.
The town, which consisted entirely of
wooden and kajang houses, was then
fired and every building destroyed.
Gaya is the export and import center
ulation was largely Chinese. Salet at
last accounts was fortified at Inaman
and it is feared will attack Sandakan
and massacre the Europeans after loot
ing the town.
daring piracy is reported off the
coast of Acheen. The British steamer
Pegu was attacked by six armed
Achanese. Captain Ross managed to
force his way through and reached the
deck, hotly pursued by his assailants.
AS the skipper, badly wounded as he
was, struggled to get to the bridge,
one man stabbed him terribly in the
abdomen and when he fell, the rest of
the piratical gang surrounded the pros
trate man and hacked him savagely,
actually disembowelling him and leav-
ing him a mangled corpse on the deck.
The mate and the steersman were the
next to be attacked. Both these men
were on the bridge and in spite of what
resistance they could offer, were soon
cut down. The boatswain, however,
climbed up the funnel stays and thus
escaped the onslaught of the pirates.
Returning TO the deck, two more of the
crew and three Chinese passengers were
killed, thirty or forty more passengers,
according to one account having been
killed or met their death by jumping
overheard. The vessel was then thor
oughly looted. One of the Achanese
was placed at the wheel to steer the
ship nearer land, others plundered the
Captains cabin, taking a repeating rifle
and revolver. The safe was opened,
$1,000 was taken, two boats lowered
from the ship and the pirates made off
in the direction of Simpang OHM. The
vessel was a frightful sight, the deck
being spattered with blood and the en-
trails of the victims.
Advfces from Tapeh, North Formosa,
state that the rebels have been par
ticularly active, but no serious fighting
has taken place.

AMERICANS GET EVEN.
CANADIANS HAVE TO PAY
DUTY ON THEIR HORSES.
Movement Started to Improve the
Skaguay Trail-Vigilance Com
mi+tee at Work.

SEATTLE, Aug. 29.-The steamer
City of Kingston arrived to-day from
Dyea and Skaguay. The following let
ter was brought from the Associated
Press correspondent:
SKAGUAY (Alaska), Aug. 25.-The
new Deputy Collector of Customs at
Skaguay- Dyea has imposed duty of
$50 head on all Canadian horses un-
loaded at this port from Canadian ter
ritory to be used in packing owners out
fits over the summit. Since the new
British Collector a few days ago an
nounced that his Government would
waive all duty on miners clothes and
outfits intended for personal use for
the next six months, it is feared this
action on the part of the United States
Collector will react on American min
ers. The duty was paid under protest.
The Collector also assumed the right to
appraise horses al their value here One
man paid $540 on two horses that cost
him $500 at Victoria.
An effort is being made to improve
the Skaguay trail. The miners camped
at Skaguay and on the trail are to do
the work, while the citizens of Skaguay
furnish all food and transportation of
supplies. There are not less than 5000
miners between the landing and the
summit and all travel is suspended
Trees have been felled across the trail
and no one will be allowed to proceed
until the entire trail is finished. There
are only five bad hills where much
blasting will be needed, the rest can
be done with picks, axes and shovels.
Charles King of Tacoma, an exper-
fenced railroad contractor, will be Su-
perintendent of Construction. There
are several civil engineers here with
their instruments and they will pro-
ceed at once to make the survey The
work will be completed and thrown
open to travel in from ten to fifteen
days at the latest and it is thought can
then be kept open all winter.
There are four ships in the harbor
unloading, the Farallon of San Francis
co, having just anchored with $50 pas
sengers and 80 horses on board; the
Elder with 152 passengers and the same
number of horses. The City of Kings
ton. with 1I5 passengers and sixty five
horses, dropped anchor just twenty-four
hours ago and is about unloaded, MAX
ing the quickest dispatch of any vessel
III the narDOr.
The Bristol of Victoria has been here
five days and has hardly begun unload
ing, as the charterers refused to furnish
lighters to land the stock and supplies
and also refused to furnish meals to the
passengers after the boat dropped an
chor. The passengers appealed to the
Vigilance" Committee this morning
and the Chairman went aboard to in
terview the Captain and Purser After
a stormy interview the Captain and
Purser engaged the Ajax, a lighter
brought up by the steam tug Pioneer Of
Seattle, and the passengers are helping
to unload the ship.
The price of whiskey has jumped the
last ten days from three and five dol
lars per gallon to twenty dollars on &C.

Wide Handle Bars Again.

The fashion in handle bars is chang
ing. Every one remembers the great
width of the old bars. Twenty -four to
26 inches was not uncommon. The in
fiuence of the racing men gradually led
to the adoption of narrow handle bars,
and finally the extreme was reached
last year. when the minimum width of
10 inches was touched. This year the
handle bars have grown wider, and now
1t is not an unusual sight to see bars
from 20 to "a inches wide. The proper
width of handle bars is the width of q
mans chest When narrower than this
the movement of the chest is apt to be
cramped. New York World.
