BRITISH TROOPS TRAPPED.
Five Officers, Fifteen Privates and Three Sikhs
Killed in Battle Near Shinamar

CALCUTTA, Jan. 30.-Gen. Westma-
colt telegraphs from Camp Mamai that
the Fourth brigade became entangled
in a gorge near Shinamar yesterday
and suffered serious losses.
Lieut. Col. Houghton, Lieuts. Sweing,
Dowdall, Hughes and Walker, together
with fifteen men of the Yorkshire Light
infantry and three Sikhs, were killed
Maj. Earle, Lieut.. Hall and seventeen
men of the Yorkshires were wounded,
Maj. Earle severely, and seventeen
privates are reported missing.
The receipt of the dispatch has caus-
ed a great sensation here, and further
details are anXiously awaited.
1t appears that a combined movement
was planned to cut off the retreat of a
number of Afridis who had been driv-
ing their cattle to Craze on the Kajurai
plain.
Two columns marched from Ali Mus
jid and Jamrud to block the way north :;
third column from Bara marched
westward over the plain toward the
hills; while fourth, consisting of the
Yorkshire regiment and a regiment of
Sikhs, advanced from Mamai with a
view of getting to the rear of the Afri-
dis and preventing their escape.
The first three columns performed
their allotted movements without loss,
meeting with very few of the enemy

SHORT OVER 100000
So DaUid WoTson, of Baltimore, Has
His Son-in-LaW Arrested.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3o.-Moses Rosen-
stock was arraigned in the Center street
police court today on the complaint of
his father-in-law, David Wolfson, of
Baltimore, as a fugitive from justice.
He was held pending the arrival of re-
QUESTION papers from Baltimore. Rosen-
stock was arrested last night. He Is
thirty-fo years of age, but looks much
older.
Mr.. Wolfson, the complainant, is the
senior member of the millionaire furni-
ture manufacturing firm Of David Wolf
son & Son, Baltimore
Thirteen years ago, according to the
story told by Mr.. Wolfson in court to-
day, Rosenstock was compelled through
his gambling debts and entanglements
to leave Germany. He came to this
country, and after a short residence in
Baltimore married Mr. Wolfson's eldest
daughter, despite her fathers opposi-
ton. Soon after that Rosenstock was
given an important position with his
father in-law's firm, but, after paying
attention to business for few months.
Rosenstock again plunged deeper than
ever into dissipation. One day came
the refusal Of one Of the firms largest
customers to pay bill of ever $20,-
600, which it claimed, according to Mr.
W'olfson, had been paid to Rosenstock
months before. When confronted with
the evidence, Rosenstock denied that
he had received the money, but the
natter was settled for time by Rosen-
stocks accepting a few hundred dollars
and leaving town. He left his wife and
five children behind. An expert was
put at work on his books, and, Mr.. Wolf
son states, discovered that Rosenstock
was $4,000 short in his accounts. This
was in 1896.

SPAIN AFTER TREHTIES
Anxious for Commercial Agreement With
the United States.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard says: "It is
expected that the further negotiations
for a commercial treaty between Spain,
Cuba and the United States will be
transferred to Washington. The Ir)pCs
ed treaty will provide for two sets of
tariff schedules, one being between Cuba
and the United States and the other
between Spain and the United States.
1t is expected that the Cuban inSular
government will embrace the oppor-
tunity to secure practical reciprocity
with the United States. At the same
time the Spanish government hopes the
Cuban ministry will do entire justice
to Spanish interests.
The Madrid press strongly advises
the students of the university to be pru-
dent in their demonstrations tomorrow,
and to avoid giving any pretext to the
United States to say that proVocation
