Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.
LONDON, Aug. 13.-The impression which has
long existed among English residents of India
and has been discussed in the Anglo-Indian
press that the Ameer OF AfRhanistan is abetting
or conniving at the risings OF the frontier tribes
men has been deepened to a startling extent by
q report circulated in Bombay to-day to the ef-
feet that the Ameer had recalled all his agents
In India.
A despatch from Bombay announces that an
inquiry into the reports proves that the agents
at Bombay and Calcutta went from their posts
days ago. and IL afflrms that those at Simla. the
summer seat of the Indian Government. and
at Kurrachee also have gone.
1t is reported that the Alfredi tribesmcn in the
northwest have risen. The Hindoos in Pesha-
wur, in the Puniab. and on the Afghan frontier
express fears that the will loot
their houses. Tho Government is concentrating
two reserve brigades at Rawul Pindi, in the
Punjab.
One report is that tho Ameer is fomenting
Mohamedan disaffoction in India, and that he
has sent thousands Of copies OF n pamphlet on a
Jchad, or holy war, to the native Indian regi-
ments.
An effusion which appeared on July 81 in the
Indian Daily Neps dwelt enthusiastically upon
the victories that had been achieved by the Sui
! tan Of Turkey. 1t declared that the lethargy Of
the Mohammedans had ended. They had
awakened from their sleep, and would recover
the former glories and grandeur of Islam. The
article. in conclusion, said:
"ou Kabuli co.religionists assure us that
his Majesty of KRbul the Ameer OF Afghanis-
TAM is ready to come gloriously TO rid US of the
| thralldom of the Christian yoke"

0. 80 in. The rainfall during previous

which is II. rs in. less than the next
