sinate Song Writer.

LONDON. Sept. 21.--A correspondent Of
the Times at Silma says: General JET
freys has inflicted such punishment upon
the MahIaands that they are begging for
mercy and asking his terms. Their valley
is swept clear of fighting men. No one is
now offering the slightest opposition. The
Salarezai tribesmen have declined to fight
further, fearing that their villagers also will
be punished. General Jeffreys has demand
ed the surrender of fifty breech leaders and
of those captured by the Mahmands last
Thursday. When these terms are complied
with he will resume his march into the
Mainland country"
The latest dispatches from General JEFF
freys report that he advanced again on
Sunday morning from Camp Mayate to at
tack the enemy west of the valley. The
chiefs came for parley, but were informed
they could not be heard until all arms had
been surrendered. remarkable feature is
the accuracy of inc enemys fire. Lieuten-
ant Crawford was killed at a range OF over
900 yards. The trbemen show great cour-
age and astounding rapidity in moving over
the rocks
Gen. Sir Bindon Blood, who is moving in
parallel with General Jeffreys and who
keeps in Photographic communication with
him, reports that yesterday the Eaddah
Mullah,. with four thousand followers, de-
bouched to the Nagawain plain, where
General Blood was encamped. The Mulan
had a fanatical dance, fired a few shots and
then retired; but the same night the camp
was attacked, though so half heartedly that
the enemy were easily repulsed. The tribes
men daringly creep up the ravines around
the camp. An English private was stabbed
only five yards from an outpost.

HAZLETON, Pa, Sept. 20.-Unless I'M
foreseen developments occur the strike in
the antracite coal region is ended. To-day
200 men, half of the full complement, re-
turned to work at Honey Brook collieries
of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Company,
as did three hundred of the 1900 at Par
dees Lattimer mines, while the Cranberry
Crystal Ridge and HARDWOOD collieries OF
the same company and Coxe's Galleries in
the DriftOn district remained at work. The
latter were to have settled the question of
strike to-day but at the request of the
Hazel mines of the Lehigh Valley Company
are tonight considering the question of re-
turning in the morning and will probably
do SO. Nearly five thousand strikers have
returned or will do so tomorrow and a
little less than that number are still out,
with indications in favor of their joining
the workers.
The only incidents of to-day were small
outbreaks at Lattimer and Eckley, both
of which were quickly subdued and the
serving of warrants of arrest upon Sheriff
Martin and number of his deputies. AT
Lattimer band of women attempted to
drive out three hundred Italians who re-
turned to work. They were armed with
clubs and stones and moved on the engine
house and the company stores. The raid
looked forbidding for a time and was not
ended until three companies of the Thir-
teenth Regiment with fixed bayonets had
pressed back and dispersed the crowds. A
number of Butler Valley miners who
wanted to return to work at Lattimer were
driven back by a body of armed strikers
who met them as they came over the noun
tain, mile or more from camp. The dis
turbance at Eckley was an attempt by
strikers to intimidate the men who wanted
to work, and it, too, was quieted down
by the troops without violence. The break
of the strike is practically victory for the
operators, as in only one or two instances
have the demands of the men been granted.
although several companies have promised
to consider the grievances.
The warrants for the arrest of Sheriff
Martin and his deputies were issued to-day
by Judges Lynch and Bennett at Wilkes
barre. They were served here tonight and
no resistance was made The writs con-
tain seventy-eght names, including the
sheriff's, and the latter has agreed to de-
liver all the deputies for a hearing to-mor-
row. A company of the Ninth Regiment
will escort thep to Wilkesbarre. General
Goblin permitted the service of the writs
because he thinks the civil authorities are
now able to handle the situation The
gradual withdrawal Of the troops will be
considered Tomorrow

Hangu say that two thousand tribesmen,
on Thursday last attacked a flying column
of British troops at Sodda The fighting
lasted two hours, but the British only lost
two killed and had four men wounded.
The fighting at Soda began at II o'clock
in an attempt to rush the pickets, the
enemy having collected unseen in the
Dwarf Pala jungle and gradually inclosed
the British force. The enemy fired contln-
uously from behind rocks and heaps or
stones, the darkness enabling them to rush
forward, making use of the many small
shelters around the place until within
twenty yards of the British. At midnight
large numbers of the tribesmen gathered
together for rush, but courage failed
them and they could be heard abusing each
other for not advancing.

clans as to the best course TO pursue in

Edward Bellamy expressed desire to
remain In Denver. providing he can re-
cuperate as we'll in the city as in the

political life, to have access TO the library
and papers. He Is still suffering with
nervous prostration, which, with the Ell
fects OF the high altitude. precludes any
possibility OF his meeting friends. He
declares he Is anxious TO greet his &C

He spent the greater part Of yesterday
afternoon sitting on the porch listening
to n conversation between his brother and
a gentleman friend who dwelt upon the
conditions in the East-the abundance OF
Kansas crops and the science now en-
ployed i'm cultivating and harvesting
them. Having spent years on the At
lantic coast in the midst of life and bus
tie, he took considerable interest in the
descriptions OF farming machines and the
wonderful improvements made in them
during the last ten years. At times he
would join in the conversation, but his
remarks were brief. His voice. how
ever. is apparently not weak and his face
is not quite as pale as the day he arrived
in Denver. He much admires Denver
homes and people. and tells his brother
he would enjoy making the city his per-
manent abiding place.
