THE WAR in INDIA.
British Encounter Courageous Soldiers Among
the Rebellious Nativea

Advices from the front are not reas-
suring. The advance OF the British
troops against the insurgent tribes in
India Is hampered by the mountainous
and almost painless country and the
difficulty Of obtaining water. Gen. jeff
rey's brigade a few days ago, attacked
the enemy at Damotaga and drove
them into the hills. but was compelled
to retire after having burned the towers
and capured 400 mule loads OF supplies.

desperately cutting their way back
through the enemy, dashed up the hill
under a heavy fire with a supply of
cartridges. He arrived just in the nick

the authorities at Washington, through
their representatives abroad are in
communication with the European po-

European anti-anarchist movement,
which was inspired by the assassina-

TRADE SITUATION.
Greater Crop Prospects Lower the Prices Of

The end of the bituminous coal strike

work at advanced wages adds to the
purchasing powers of the people, and

The wheat market has declined over

ly In a condition OF destitution. Even
should peace be declared and these re-
fugees be allowed to return to their
abandoned homes, several years would
be required to repair the damage done
and to re-estahlish life and industry on
their former basis. The Turkish army
of occupation reaped and appropriated
all OF the grain. which amounted to
266. 100000 pounds of wheat, 900
pounds of Indian corn and 100000
pounds of barley. All sheep and cattle
not driven away by the fleeing inhabit-
ants went to feed the Turkish army-a
