TIE BRITISH LOST HEAVILY
Tribesmes Proved to Be Very for-
midsble Fighters.
HARD HAND TO HAND CONFLICTS.
Hindus Followed the English Until
They Reached Their Camp, Har-
ryfng the Rearguard.

Simla. November 1.-THE official dis
patches received today from the British
headquarters in the Madam valley say that
on General Kempster's returning to camp
with his baggage on Monday last the Slkhs
OF the British force were split up into COM
panies and held the spurs OF the Kotal
The enemy appeared In force and rushing
forward with great perseverance. some
hard hand to hand fighting followed. The
sikhs, tine dispatch adds. were "as steady
as rocks" and drove back the enemy with
heavy loss.
Further details from the MADAM valley
show that the loss Of General Kempster's
brigade is quite serious. The force con-
sisted Of the Dorsetshlre regiment and regi-
ments Of Sikhs and Ghurkas. The insur-
gent tribesmen made their usual attack
upon the rear guard, but were brilliantly
repuised by the Sikhs. The Dersetshres
lost their way In the darkness and were
cut OIL by the enemy. Sublieutenant Hale
and Lieutenant Crook and nine men were
Killed. The rest OF the Dersetshires at
tached themselves to the Skhs and arrived
In camp in safety. The officers killed were
Lieutenant Wylie OF the Ghurkas and Lieu
tenant Warne of the Sikhs. Fourteen
sikhs and Ghurkas were killed. Colonel
Abbott. Captain Constantine and Lieuten-
ant Wool were wounded and twenty eight
Sikhs and Ghurkas were wounded.
This shows that ffty-elght men we're
placed hors du combat in this affair, OF
whom twenty seven officers and men were
Killed and thirty-one wounded.
TWO companies OF Sikhs holding the spur
OF the hill were 50 fiercely assaulted that
they had to call for renforcements. Col
onel Haughton, with the balance of the
Sikh regiment. rushed to their support.
The whole force withdrew gradually fight
Ing every step to the valley Dusk had
now set In and the enemy was crowding
the British on all sides Colonel Haughton
determined to camp for the night and sent
i've companies to storm a couple OF block |
houses. The Silks drove out the enemy at
the point Of the bayonct Six were killed
and many wounded during this caarge.
The wounded we're then brought in under |
the encmys unceasng fire and the force |
finally reached headquarters the next morn |
Ing without further casualties.
London, November 1S.-A dispatch to the |
Times from Madam says: During the |
afternoons fighting on Monday the Sikhs
were most seriously pressed on the north
ern side Of the ridge by a large body OF |
Afrids. Hard and close fighting ensued
in the thick woods. The siRhs defended |
themselves with splendid gallantry and in
one desperate bayonet charge killed and
wounded fully sixty OF the enemy. Their
commander, Colonel Abbott. was painfully
wounded In the neck and face and Captain
Warne was shot through the heart

of Any.
Providence. r. l., November 17.-Al-
though Rhode Island cotton manufacturing
centers report the market for their prod
uct demoralized, it is not believed single
loom will be stopped or any reduction
made in wages of operatives. At least no
action will be taken by manufacturers to
cut down operating expenses in this way
Just now. Messrs b. B. R. Knight
have purchased over $4,000 bales of cotton,
which will be stored at their mills In Paw
tucket valley and elsewhere. All mills are
running on full time, and goods are being
stored in the belief that prices will event.
ually improve. Many mills are being run
at loss, It is alleged, and some Of the
owners are purchasing goods from mer-
chants cheaper than the present cost OF
manufacture. Orders are plentiful In most
of the mills, but the price of print cloths
Is not encouraging.

FROM SANTA FE TO ALBUQUERQUE.

Says the Albuquerque Citizen: "The
distance from Santa Fe to Albuquerque
via Cerrillos, Golden and Tiieras is 81
miles. This is the proposed route of the
d, & R G. railroad, when it is extended
southwark. The cost of the roadbed,
ready for the equipment, would be about
$350,000. The resources along the route
rw2uld make the extension paying line
from the day the read was completed.
The towns of Cerrilos, Golden, San Pc
dro and Tijeras would give right of waJ,
depot grounds and other facilities TO Sc
cure the road, grounds, and big bonus to
get this road. few days ago the Citi-
zen subscribed $1,000 to the Albuquer-
que & Durango Rad, and this paper is
willing to give the same amount to build
the D. & R. G. from Santa Fe to AIbu-
querque.n
1t is but question, when this pro-
posed extension of the D. & r. &. will be
had. The line would open up country
great in mineral resources such as pre-
cions metals, iron and coal. 1t would
also command good local passenger
and freight traffic from the start. Tt is
bound to be built and il will be built.

crowding closely after Great Britain in
the growth of the cotton manufacturing

general strike of cotton mill operatives,
which threatens to involve 100000 hands.
