KILLED BRITISH
Soldiers of the Queen in India At
tackled by Superior FOrces
Of Natives,
Three Officers and twenty-five
Soldiers Being Killed and
Others Wounded.
Trouble May Become Very Seri-
Ous--Urugua and Argentine
at War.

BOMBAY, June PA dispatch re-
ceiyed here from Simla, the residence of
the Indian government officials during
the heated periods of the year, an
nounces serious trouble ON the northern
frontier, and the massacre of a number
of British officers and native soldiers in
the government employ. From the par
ticulars obtainable at present, 1t seems
that two guns of a mounted battery, es-
corted by 200 men belonging to the First
regiment of Sikhas, and the First Pun
jab infantry We're treacherously at
tackled in the Tochi valley by a large
force of hostile natives.
The first report said that Colonel
Bunny, two officers and % privates had
been killed and that three officers and %
men had been wounded. In addition,
q number of mules and horses are re-
ported killed.
More Than "a Conflict.
Indications are that the affair is more
than a mere conflict with warlike ma
tives, and that the notorious Mullah of
Powindah is at the bottom Of the trouble.
The latest advices are that a political
officer, Mr.. MCGEE, was visiting Shir-
ami, with an escort of troops, when he
was attacked at Maiza by vastly supe-
rior forces. The British troops were
compelled to retreat, and were followed
for several miles by overwhelming num-
bers of the enemy. The fighting was
desperate. All the British officers were
severely wounded. Captain Browne of
the First Sikhas, a Sol of Sir James
Browne, and Lieutenant Cr~ookshank of
the royal artillery were killed, and Sur
| geon Higginson, Lieutenant Higginson
of the First Sikhas and Lieutenant Sea-
ton-Browne of the Punjab infantry were
| wounded.
The second dispatch does not mention
the death of Colonel Bunny, but from
the fact that it a that Colonel Gray
from Miranshah has taken over the
command of the British force engaged,
it is inferred that Colonel Bunny is also
among the dead as at first announced.
Techi valley lies north of Gumal and
on the road to GhuZni. and on the
way to Wazristan. 1t has been con-
trolled by the British since the de-
limitation of the Indo- Afghan frontier
but the tribes there have always been
turbulent and fear is felt lest the other
tribes rise against the British.

fore cannot be "good, honorable and up
right citizens" She says bachelors have

shining example.
She proposes to organize anti-bachelor
clubs throughout..the state. "There are
47,0o0 girls between the ages Of 20 and 30
in this state,'' she declares, ''who cannot
find husbands as there are that number
less men. "We have too many temporari-
ly married politicians on the market, -
the lady declares. She closes by hoping
that Messrs. Quincy and Curtis be rele-
gated to private life where they belong.
