Against Their Rulers.

London, July IA special from Sim

night marched against Malakand, in the
Chitral In the fight that ensued Privat.
Loernard Nancy OF the Forty-ffth
Sikhs was killed; Private Taylor danger
ously wounded, and Major Herbert and
Lieutenant Walling OF the engineer corps
were severely hurt. The cavalry is now
pursuing the enemy, who retreated this
morning.
A later dispatch from Simla says the
attacking forces comprised 1000 tribes
men, under the leadership OF a man
known as the Mad Mullah. The fighting
was very sharp. Reinforcements are be-
ing pushed forward TO the scene of the
conflict.
London, July 27.-The Times this
morning prints a dispatch from Simla,

The story is curious as showing how
quickly the tribesmen can be gathered

peal OF fanaicism. Since the sChitral
campaign ended the Swat valley has
been perfectly peaceful, trade has devel-
cped and the SWatis have been perfectly
contented and hove shown no sign of
disaffection. On Monday. however, with
out the least warning, the whole popula-
ton underwent q sudden change. The
first news that reached Malakand was
that the disturbance had occurred a.
Phana. near Chakgra bridge. few
hours later news was received that the

London, July 27.-The st. James Ga
Eette, commenting upon Japan's protest
In the Hawaiian matter, says:
According to European usage il
amounts thar Japan is to resist the trans
Ter Of the archipelago and is equivalent To
warslng the United States that they
must give up their views as to Hawaii
Or prepare for war. II does mean that
30 much in the mouth OF aJpan, though
the Americans do not seem TO think so.
But they have such odd ideas of diplo-
matte language that they are no great
authorities"
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
ave have said from the first that 1t
IL no concern of Great Britain whether
the United States annex Hawaii but
Japan's protest should give the American
jingoes something to thisk about. Il re-
mains to be seen whether American opin-
ion viii ratify the policy. II it does, the
matter will become important, for ia
pan has powerful navy; and If it does
not, Secretary Sherman, and at any rate
President Mckinley, will think twice be-
fore invitisg the japanese navy 10 do
the mischief it undoubtedly could
The Globe, after referring TO the "cyn-
teal insolence" of the American minister,
says:
Should il be our misfortune to engage
ina quarrel with our kin beyond the sea,
we must seize Hawaii imediately; but
the state Of things against which it
would be necessary TO take precautions
Is the by no means remote contingency
Of war between the United States and
European power, at which time Hawaii
would become a strategic point Of great
importance against ourselves. If Japan
abdicates or commutes her rights, il is
the clear duty of this country 10 inter-
fere, even at the risk of another dispatch

STILL ANOTHER HOWL.
London, July 27.-According TO the
Daily Mail, the English firms are very
indignast that the contracts for the trac-
ton plant Of the London Central rail-
way, which TO be an underground electric
line amounting in value to hundreds of
thousands of pounds, have been given
to Americas. The SECRETARY of the COM
pany explains that the contracts for car
riages, locomotives, machinery and wir-
Ing were given 10 American firms on ac-
count OF their low bids
