In any account of the ways the


In any account of the ways the
Afridis fight it is necessary to in
olude in the description the military
characteristics of the frontier ma
tives without regard to differences
of tribe.
Their style of fighting is specially
adapted to the geographical condi-
tons of the country. Both at Fort
Saraghari and at Fort Cavagnari l
had an opportunity, with other Off
GERS, of learning the peculiar fight
ing ways of the Afridis. Every race,
of course, has it's own method of
combat, and the Afridis conduct
their operations against an enemy
in manner altogether their own.
1t is as shifty as it is effective. Few
civilians can realize how deadly it
may become.
1t is bad enough when an enemy,
creeping slowly up hillside, lodges
itself in sections behind huge bowl
ders, and, under cover of these,
pours volley after volley at the hui
man targets, as those engaged in
the task of guarding the summit be-
come. Watching the advancement
of foe is not at any time an inspir-
iting occupation. 1t is worse to see
the half naked Afridis creeping
slowly and slowly from bowlder to
bowlder. This is what takes place
in broad daylight, but even then the
cunning Afridi can circumvent ma
ture. Take, as an illustration of
this, the way in which Fort Sara
ghari fell. 1t occurred in broad day
light and within sight of the neigh
boring fort of Cavagnari, where the
stealthy operations of the tribesmen
were observed by the imperial
troops. Attempts were made by
means of signals to warn the de-
tenders of the British flag of their
danger, but to no avail.
Although considered impregna-
BILE, Fort Saraghari, built of square
stone with two bastions at opposite
angles, was fatally defective in de-
sign. 1t had "dead" point under
meath each bastion-that is, point
from which an enemy could be nell
Their seen nor hit by the defenders,
The result was that while the con-
tending forces were firing against
each other-the defenders in the

forts and the assai1ants behind stone

forts and the assai1ants behind stone
breastworks and within ten yards
of each other-a few native born
engineers" among the Afridis who
had crept up to the "dead" point
were mining a breach in one of the
bastions. Before this was made suf-
ficiently large to admit the savage
tribesmen to make their deadly rush
into the fort the undermining OPP
erations were seen by the small
force holding Fort Cavagnari. These
signaled to their brothers in arms
the danger awaiting them, but the
latter were too busily employed in
repelling the onslaughts of the ene-
my to benefit by the telescope OBJ
servations of their comrades, and
so every one of the 81 Sikhs guard
ing Saraghari died at his post.
If the Afridi were crafty in day
light, his cunning at night became
superhuman. Many a sentry has
fallen silently and mysteriously in
the Indian night. A naked form,
moving stealthily in the dark as the
sentry PAGES backward and forward,
getting almost motionless as the
sentry draws nigh; a sudden bound,
followed by dagger thrust-this
is the end of many an Indian sol
der and the secret of many tribal
victory.-"An Officer" in London

REALLY M|RTHFUL COMEDY
THE MAGISTRATE PRESENTED
LAST NIGHT.
Stockwell's First Appearance-Clever
and Suflicient-Miss Fosters Very
Capable Work.

Pinero's comedy, The Magistrate,
was the attraction which drew a
crowded house last night. 1t afforded
the opportunity for l.. II. Stockwell's
first appearance in Honolulu. His
work fully justified the expectations
entertained of him. BY apparently
the simplest means he brought out
the cleverest, brightest comedy ele-
ments of the play. He never overdid
the part. His mirth was spontaneous
and natural.
His deep draught of water from the
wash stand pitcher the next morning
after his adventures at the Hotel
PONCE. was one of the most fetching
things in the whole performance. 1t
was done so as to make it the one
touch of nature that made the whole
world kin. 1t provoked wave after
wave of genuine, mirthful laughter.
Mr.. Stockwell is satisfying.
Nance O'Neil does not appear to as
striking advantage in comedy, or at
least in this comedy, as she did in
Magda and Camille. Her work was
capable, but not pre-eminent.
Gertrude Foster, as Charlotte Yer
rinder, rose to thoroughly good act
ing, and made the character one of the
best presented of the evening. Her
love scene with Captain Vale, George
Trimble, was delicious.
Herbert Carr in Colonel Lukyn, ga
soldier and an officer" found a char
acter that suited him perhaps better
than any he has yet essayed here. The
same thing may be said of Leslie Mo-
rosco as Cis harrington. In the char
acter he did really excellent work.
AS delicate and true to life touch as
there was in the performance was Civ
en- by Mckee Rankin as Achille Blond
the proprietor of the Hotel Ponce.
Throughout, though the parts seem
ed well cast, and there was no specific
deficiency in the any of them. there
seemed, especially in the last two
acts. lack of the snap and go that
the lines and plot demanded. In sew
eral instances lines were forgotten.
and fit of laughter on the stage was
in one place objectionable.
For Thursday evening. the company
will present Leah, at the Saturday
matinee East lynne. and Saturday ev-
ening Oliver Twist. certainly an at
tractiye and promising repertoire.

SUGAR MARKET.

take. The last figures were / 5-16, and
students of the market think that the

same. No sugar letters were received
by the Newport.
Sugar is still strong and the tenden-
cy is toward higher ngures, though it
is not believed there will be any very
great advance this year. AS matter
of fact the market is rather too strong
for the season of the year, on the eve
of harvests in several prominent quar-
