THE INDIAN UPRISING.
Operations Against Afridis Postponed
Until Summer.


Simla, September Blowing to the
protracted campaign against the Mob
mands, Gen. Sir VIM. Lockhart, COM
nander of the Punjab frontier force and
in supreme control of the Punitive opera
tions, has decided to postpone the general
advance against the Afridis and Tirah,
their summer headquarters, until October
Q.
The Afridis are encamped in a strong
position on rugged plateau which it
will be most difficult to scale, and they
are assembled there in great force.
According to intelligence received from
SANTANA, an advance body of over 1000 of
the enemy has arrived in the Khanki
valley and is watching the moven.e tents OF
the British troops. The Afridis are
spreading a report that the Ameer of
Afghanlstan has demanded hostages from
them and y@ll help them it hostages are
given.
The news from the Mohmand expedition
is very satisfactory Gen. Jeffreys who
is meeting with little opposition is de-
stroying tho enemy's Qualifications and
villages. The tribesmen appear cowed,
and overtures of surrender are expected
very shortly.
1t appears that they lost over seventy
killed and large number wounded
during the night attack OH Sir Bindon
Blood's column, their heavy defeat de-
stroying their faith in the Mullahs, who
had promised to close tn, muzzles of the
British guns by divine means.

could afford TO wait; while delay would
be fatal to Spain, even is it brought with
it q temporary victory. Nevertheless If
