BRITISH OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS.
TREACHEROUSLY ATTACKED.
A Notorious Native Chief at the
Bottom of an Outbreak That IL
Likely to Cause Considerable
Trouble ~ British Troops Com
PEELED to Retreat by the Over
whelming Numbers of the Enemy.

Bombay, June 13. ~ A dispatch re-
ceived here from Simla, the residence
of the Indian government officials dur
ing the heated periods of the year, an
nounces serious trouble on the north
ern frontier, and the massacre of q
number Of British officers and native
soldiers in the government employ.
From the particulars obtainable at
present, it seems that two guns Of a
mounted battery, escorted by 200 men
belonging to the First regiment Of
Sikhas. and the First Punjab infantry
were treacherously attacked in the
Tochi valley by large force of hos
tile natives.
The first report said that Col. Bun
ny, two officers and twenty-five pri-
Yates had been killed. and that three
officers and twenty-five men had been
wounded. In addition, a number of
mules and horses are reported killed.
Indications are that the affair is
more than a mere conflict with warlike
natives, and that the notorious Mullah
of Powindah is at the bottom Of the
trouble. The latest advices are that
a political officer, Mr.. MCGEE, was Wis
iting Shirani with an escort Of troops.
WACA NC was uttdChcu ul NAu1A1 NY
vastly superior forces. The British
troops were compelled to retreat, and
were followed for several miles by
overwhelming numbers of the enemy.
The fighting was desperate. All the
British officers We're severely wound

son of the late Sir James Browne.
and Lieut. Crookshank, of the Royal
artillery, were killed, and Surgeon
Higginson, of the First Sikhs and
Lieut.. Seaton-Browne, of the Punjab
infantry. were wounded.
The second dispatch does not men,
tion the death of Col. Bunny. but,
from the fact that it says that Col.
Gray has taken over the command of
the British forces engaged, it is in
ferred that Col. Bunny is among the
dead. as at first annouL ced.
Later-The news of the disaster on
the frontier Of British India has been
officially confir ned.
London, June 13-The Bombay cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says: A
punitive expedition will be fitted from
Rawalpindi. 1t is expected that Sc
we're fighting will follow and that an
other Chitral will be enacted. I'm
fortunately the great frontier general,
Sir William Lockhart, is now on leave

forces on the Afghan frontier, is on

New York, April There was an I'M
mistakable Improvement in the tone of the
market for stocks to-day over that which
has prevailed of late. The market was ac-
tive but there was good buying in many
stocks, and the general list was steady.
The heavy liquidations in a number of
stocks which has been a depressing in
fiuence having apparently come to an end.
The general average prices were higher at
the close than at last nights close. Appar-
emily no apprehension was caused by the
notification Of the roads in the joint traffic
association by the interstate commerce
commission calling for information re-
garding their contracts, agreements not
reduced to writing and rates The aggre-
gate OF Sugar sales numbering $4,000
shares. These enormous transactions had
no other visible motive than the conflict
ing gossip of the board room as to wheth-
er buyers and sellers did or did not act for
inside interests in their operations. The
bond market developed a fair degree of
activity, but changes were unusually mar
row, except in few instances. The mar
ket generally displayed firmness, but OPP
erations were largely restricted to the
speculative lines The sales were 81, 0S7, 600.
Government bonds ruled firm and showed
an improving tendency on purchases of
$40 600
