THE INDIAN UPRISING.
The Emlr of Afghanistan Denies Joinin
In the War.

Al tnt w
London. Aug. PA dispatch to The
Times from Simla says:
The following communication has
been issued:
The emir has promptly replied to the
letter in which the Indian government
called his attention to Information re.
ceived by it to the effect that Afghan
subjects had joined Haddah Mullah
The emir distinctly denies the truth OF
the reports that Afghan regulars have
Joined the mullah. He engages solemn
iy and personally on behalf of General
Gholam Hadar and the regular army
that no such act of hostility will ever
De committed by them. He alleges that
If tribesmen have Joined at all they
must have Joined secretly, for they
would not have dared to do so openly
because of fear of him. He attributes
the disturbances to the action of the
mullahs. especially Haddah Mullah,
who in former years have excited his
own people to rise against him in At
ghanistan, and he denounces their con-
duct
This is a most important pronounce
ment and If published broadcast on the
frontier may have great effect upon
the tribesmen.
General Files will endeavor to in
duce the Afridis to leave the hills and
venture into the open, but it is feared
they will cling to the various spurs run
ming out toward Jamrud and Peshawur.
This may delay their dispersal, and
they may become troublesome by dem
onstrations against the Kuki Khel viii
lagos lying near the hills. Kohat and
the Mohmand borders are still quiet.
