ANOTHER BRITISH VICTORY.

etmla, Aus. IA reconnaissance In
the Swat v6lsy discovered the Enemy
to be entreuehed in the hills bstween
Jalala and Landau. confirming the re-
ports Of the gathering In force Of the
Upper Swatis, Bonerawals and Handu-
stint fanatics. General Blood, the Brit
ish commander. brought his field guns
into action against the stone entrench-
ments Of the enemy. demolishing these
works. whereupon the insurgent tribe
men fed.
At least 5000 tribesmen were en-
gagged. The batteries prevented them
risking o fight at close quarters, but
about 1000 held on for some time. Then
as the infantry attack developed they
fled. and when the other 1000 saw their
line of retreat threatened they moved
rapidly away.
Lieutenant Greaves, Of the Lam
cashire fusiliers, and Lieutenant Mac
Lean, adjutant Of guides, were killed,
and Captain Palmer was seriously in
jured. Lieutenant MacLean met his
death while trying to carry away the
body of Lieutenant Greaves.
General Blood directed the center OF
the attack, Colonel Meiklejohn occu-
plying the heights to the right Of the
enemy's position. The Swatis were
strongly entrenched, and maintained q
steady fire, but the British column
carried the entrenchment with great
dash, and the enemy fed. 1t Is be-
lieved that General Blood will order
a further advance.
There is no longer any doubt that
the Afridas are deeply involved in the
rebellion, which Is as vet In no wise
suppressed. Such is the condition of
things now that the slightest check
to British arms would be the signal for
a general revolt.

with the natural resources your city boys
should enjoy, that not cTCn one public bath

one of the chief sports Of mankind, swim

Of somebody be dcniol them. City Cuun-
Gil could, If it sa proper donate sufficient
money to erect the necessary bath houses

would be money we'll Invested. We should
like to sec our youths have all the SWIM

by the police.

has suddenly disappeared and his where.
abouts are being sought after by his friends

The styles in shoes, like those in cloth

such slaughter in footwear of the poiut-
cd toe styles Is now being inaugurated
by the numerous large shoe dealers. Shoes
Shat cost s. and 50 arc being sold for So and
$3.50 pair. Tho round or bull dog toe Is
to take the p.!ao Of the narrow pointed
shoe, and the live dealers arc dcsirous of
closing olt all these styles Of shoes, no
matter what the price realized for them.
The shoes arc being sold ut less than cost,
but go they must and they are going at tho
prices that have been put on them. SuCh
Is the viclssitudc Of trade.
IT is to be hoped that General Smith
will soon awaken to the fact that the

sity's future at heart and that he (Smith)
will act accordingly and try and get what
appropriations are needed to finish the
work in hand Of deepening the channel
