MARKETING THE TOBACCO CROP.
 The greater part of the tobacco crop is DOW delivered and the satisfied grower is rejoicing in once more receiving satis- factory prices so that he can in some degree catch up on expenses. The crop of this year, though much above the av- craze, is far from satisfactory as almost every crop shows some pole burn. But delivery has been without much friction between buyers and seller, as the fault is not serious enough to cause any buy CT to refuse to receive the crop.

INDIA SITUATION THREATENS,
Reported Completely of the Afghan Rule
with the Recent Rising.

Reported Completely of the Afghan Ruler
with the Recent Rising.
London. Aug. 1.-THE news of sus-
pected Afghan intrigues in India is
very seriously regarded here. The Brit
ish newspapers published in India had
already discussed the possibility of the
Ameer's completely in the risings of
tribesmen recently. 1t was reported
some time ago that he had sent thou
sands of copies of his book on the
"Jehad." or religious war, to the native
Indian regiments. while anonymous let
tiers appeared in the Indian native press
clarifying the Turkish victories as Is
lam's rising star" and declaring that
the Ameer was ready to come, like the
glorious Mahmud Sabuktagin of yore,
to rid India of the thra!dom of the Chris.
tian yoke; bidding all the faithful to be
prepared, and asserting that the riots
at Chitpur were really a preliminary
trial Of Mohammedan strength, care
fully organized by the highly educated
real leaders OF the community.
While the authority of the Afghan
Ameer over the frontier tribes is very
weak. it must be remembered that the
Afghan general. Gholam Haidair, com.
manding at Ashmar, who was in con-
slant communication with the mullah
who led the attack on Fort Shabdaker
last Saturday, is the Ameer's chief and
most trusted commander. and taking
into consideration the symptoms of un-
rest near Peshawar since the attack
on Camp Malakand the Indian govern
ment will be well advised il it makes
preparations to meet all eventualities.
When the two reserve brigades have
been concentrated at Rawalpindi the
government forces in the Junjab will
be strong enough to make operations
possible in any direction throughout
the whole extent of the northwest. Gen.
eral Blood has two full brigades in
Swat. General Files has a similar force
in the vicinity of Peshawar. Another
reserve brigade is between Mardan
and Rawalpindi: and this is exclusive
of the Tochi field forces.
