THE INDIAN REBELLION.
The Amcer VIII Write No Other Let
tcr-PrOSrcss of English Troops.


Simla, Sept. 1.-The rumor that the In
dian government is about to send a fresh
letter to the Ameer of Afghanistan regard
ing the alleged completely of Afghans in
the frontier uprisings proves to be without
foundation. The ameers first reply to the
government is regarded as satisfactory.
News has been received that the column
under command of Col. Richardson has
reached Sadda, thus rendering the Paric-
mar headquarters in the Kurra valley safe,
as Sadda commands the only route from
Orakarazi country.
The authorities have sanctioned the i'm
mediate concentration of two brigades I'M
der Col. Files at Shabader, to advance as
a punitive force direct into the Mohand
country and check a second uprising of
Haddah Mullah, with 1000 tribesmen. This
decision has given great satisfaction, and
the knowledge that the British forces have
at last taken the offensive will probably
have a deterrent effect upon the tribes all
along the frontier.
1t is reported that punitive expedition,
consisting of 10000 men will shortly be
sent into the interior with orders to push
on to Tirah.
