Various Columns Advancing to
the Indian Frontier With
Little Opposition.
Desperate Battle at Damata-
goa in Which the Enemy
Is Defeated.
Large Quantity of Stores Taken
and the Invaders Driven
to the Hills.

BOMBAY, Sept. 20.-Advices from the
front show that the various columns
are advancing against the Mahmoukis
from Pankjora and Shabkadr. AS yet
they have met with no serious opposi-
ton, but the difficulties of transporta.
ton in mountainous and almost path
less country are immense. Another
formidable obstacle in the way of rapid
movement is the lack of water.
The brigade of General Jeffreys has
not joined in the advance. Saturday it
left camp at Anayet with 16 companies
of infantry and guns in order to reat-
tack the enemy at the village at Damo-
tagoa. The enemy made a desperate
resistance, but were
Driven Into the Hills.
The British demolished their towers
and captured 400 mule loads of sup
plies. AS soon as the troops began to
retire from the village the enemy re-
appeared in force. The retirement,
however, was effected with great pre-
cision, the native troops behaving
splendidly. Two Sikhs were killed and
six wounded.
1t is now known that the enemy's
loss during the fight on Thursday last
between the Mohmunds and the Second
brigade of General Sir Blondin Blood in
the valley north of Anayet was very
heavy.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-The Times says:
The statement of the American press
that the state department at Washing

probable that the negotiations, which

sumed next month, when Sir Julian

to The Call from Juneau says: The

one indication that the same thing is
likely to recur at any time or continue
steadily. The snow storm may be said
to stop further progress over both Dyea

comes. Already the indications begin
to bear out the statement made in these
dispatches four weeks ago that the
trails to Klondike would be marked by
collapsed tents, blasted hopes and the
skeletons of the unwary and venture
