MET WITH A HEAVY LOSS
BRITISH TROOPS DEFEATED IN AN
ATTACK ON TRIBESMEN.
Forces of General BIOod hetrented
With Men Falling All Along
the Route.

Camp Anayat via Pankajora, Sept. Is.
Severe fighting has taken place between
the second brigade of General Sir Blndon
Blood's division ana the Monmonds. The
British loss was lao killed and wounded.
The brigade was moved out to attack
the Mohmonds in the valley north of the
camp, to punish them for the assault
Tuesday night upon the force of General
Jeffreys, at the foot of PaWat pass. The
Bengal lancers found the enemy en-
trenched on the hills about eight miles
distant The Thirty-ffth Silks was or
dered to make the attack. The regiment
was supported by four guns OF noun
tain battery and by six companies of
the Bluffs. The Sikhs drove the enemy
into the hills, but eventually fell back
upon the Bluffs before superior numbers
The enemy then advanced against the
left flank, drove back the cavalry and
surrounded company of Sikhs. The
cavalry charged brilliantly and relieved
the Sikhs, and the guides, coming up,
swept the enemy back. The force halted
for some time, destroying the enemy's
towers, and then retired. A company of
Sikhs on the hills to the right was hard
pressed and was running short of am
munition, when the general officer com
handing moved the guides forward to
the relief, which was CALAMITY accom-
plished.
The guides carried the wounded Sillhs
back and executed the withdrawal in
good order, though the enemy pressed
them hard. Darkness came on before the
force reached camp and the guides, with
General Jeffreys and his escort of Bluffs,
became separated from the column, which
passed them in the gloom. General JEFF
freys remained with the guns and took
up a position in the village. Meanwhile
the enemy occupied part of the village,
and the force not being strong enough to
eXpel them, they had inflicted consider
able loss on the little party before Major
Wortlidge, with two companies, each
composed of Sikhs and guides, came up
and compelled them to retire.
A large body of cavalry and the Thir-
ty-eighth Degras left the camp and
brought in the whole detachment.
Lieutenant Hughes and Lieutenant
Crawford were killed.
Lieutenant Watson, Lieutenant Gun
ming and Lieutenant Winter were severe
ly wounded, and General Jeffreys, Lieu
tenant Cassels and Captain Birch slightly
wounded.
The Bluffs lost l killed and 7 wounded ;
the Sikhs 81 killed and AZ wounded; the
guides killed and 10 wounded; the
gunners 7 killed and 81 wounded, and
the sappers 3 killed and l6 wounded.
Two Bengal lancers were wounded.
