BRITISH WERE REPULSED
Severe Fighting Between Second
Brigade and Momunds.
ATTEMPT TO PUNISH INSURGENTS
WAS A FAILURE.

The English Loss Was 40 Killed and
wounded-The Most Important En-
gagement Of the Present Uprislng-
Gallant Conduct Of English Ofacers.
Camp Anayat, via Panjkora, September
II, SD. m.-Severe fighting has taken
place between the Second brigade of Gem
eral Sir Bindon Blood's division and the
Momunds.
The British loss was 140 killed and
wounded. The brigade had moved out to
attack the Momunds in the valley north
of the camp, to punish them for the as
sault Tuesday night upon the force of
General Jefrey's at the foot of Pawat
pass. The Bengal Lancers found the
enemy entrenched on the hills about eight
miles distant. The Thirty fifth Sikhs
was ordered to make the attack.
The regiment was supported by four
guns of mountain battery and by six
companies of bluffs. The Sikhs drove the
enemy into the hills, but eventually fell
back upon the buffs before superior num-
bers.
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
extreme right was hard pressed and was
running short of ammunition, when the
general officer commanding moved the
guides forward to their relief which was
gallantly accomplished. The guides carried
the wounded Sikhs back and executed
the withdrawal in good order, though the
enemy pressed them hard.
Darkness came on before the force
reached the camp; and the guides, with
General Jeffreys and his escort of bluffs
became separated from the column
which passed them in the gloom. Gen.
Jeffreys remained with the guns and took
up position in village.
The enemy had occupied part of the
village and the escort not being strong
enough to expel them, they had inflicted
considerable loss on the little party before
Major Wortledge, with two companies,
each composed Of Sikhs and guides, came
up and compelled them to retire.
A large body of cavalry and the Thirty
eighth degras left the camp and brought
in the whole detachment.
Captain Birch and Lieut.. Watson be-
haved with great gallantry. Lieut..
Hughes and Lieut.. Crawford were killed.
Lieut.. Watson, Lieut.. Cunning and
The bluffs lost one killed. and seven
wounded; the Sikhs 81 killed and 42
wounded; the guides two killed and ten
wounded; the gunners seven killed and
81 wounded and the Sappers three killed
and 16 wounded.

thus: Over 10, 900 men are still out WIN
no apparent prospects of settlement;
sporadic outbreaks Of violence are occurr-
ing near the outlying collieries and the
withdrawal of troops is not only Without
consideration, but the guard lines OF
several of the camps are being constantly
strengthened and the wisdom OF bringing
more cavalry Is being discussed. 1t was
said today that if the soldiers are kept
here much longer the Sheridan troop OF
Tyrone, attached to the second brigade
will be ordered out
A captain of General Gobin's stall Is
authority for the statement that an un-
easy feeling prevails at headquarters IN
consequence of the little outbreaks OF the
past few days and the indication they
hold of the underlying disturbance:
The brigade commander hlmseI ao-
mltted today that, the action OF the raid
ing women was giving him much per-
plexity. .s.E..He does not caree to use force
against them and has instructed the
soldiers In case of necessity to use only
the flats of their sabres upon the women.
This mornings violent scene at Auden-
reid was almost an exact repetition OF
yesterdays at the same place. 1t arose
from another attempt to start the
Monarch and star Washeries of the Lehigh
and Wilkesbarreicompan About 100 men
reported for work at the former when the
wild band of women swooped down upon
them with an armament of sticks and
stones. The men promptly quit work be-
fore any injury could be inflicted. At
the Star Washery, where 100 or 1875 men
wanted to work o like assault stopped
them. The call for troops which came
from Gran berry at 2 O'Clock this morning
was the act of scared night watchman
who mistook soldiers for strikers.
Late last night another territory was
turbulent A body of strikers at Latimer
No. quarrelled among themselves and
bloodshed was threatened when company
E of the 18th regiment which is camped
at Latimer restored quiet.
The only change in the strike situation
proper today was the return to work of
the 500 men employed at Coxe's Beaver
Meadow colliery. The miners say that
this is only temporary and that If the
other Coke men at Drifton and elsewhere
decide at their meeting of next Monday
to go out the Beaver Meadow men will
