LEFT TRAIL OF DEAD.
Awful Slaughter Of Thibetans Who
Attacked British at Guru.
Natives Huddied 30 Close Together That
They Killed Each Other In tho Mad
Rush to Reach the Hated
Invaders.

Tuna, Thibet, April 3.-The Thibetan
general, the whole Of his personal es-
cort and Ave high Lhassa officials were
among the hundreds killed in the fight
ing Of March 81 at Guru, Thibet. The
small British losses are accounted for
by the fact that the Thibetans were SO
huddled together that the majority
were unable either to use their swords
or to fire. The swordsmen in the front
rank could not reach the Sikhs, who
had fixed bayonets while the men In
the middle of the mob could not reach
the Suemy, but many Of them probably
killed each other in the mad excite
ment. The scene recalled old-time
fights in cockpits, the grim, determined
faces of the Thibetans, lighted with
devildom savagery, expressing con-
tempt for the Sikhs whom they out
numbered six or seven to one.
When the Lhassa general fired the
first shot, the Thibetans with. wild
shouts drew their swords, fired their
matchlocks and surged forward. About
q dozen swordsmen made a desperate
rush in the direction of Col. Macdonald
and q small knot Of officers. Four
Thibetans attacked Mr.. Gambler, the
correspondent of the London Daily
Mail, but Col. Macdonald seized q rifle
and shot down two of them at few
yards and another officer killed the
other two, thus saving Gamblers life.
Those of the Thibetans who tried to
climb the wall were met with terrible
magazine rifle fire, but they did not
falter, those behind springing over the
heaps Of dead and continuing the fight
until riddled with bullets. When fl
nally the Thibetans retired they
tramped back slowly and steadily,
though followed by hail of bullets. A
mountain battery was brought into ac-
ton and tore the retreating lines with
shrapnel. A terrible trail Of dead and
dying marked the line of march. At
length, the last wounded, limping
Thibetan turned the corner, some 400
yards from the scene Of the grim trag-
edy where the best Of the Thibetan
army had persisted.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK March 2S.-The cotton market
opened steady at an advance OF points to a
decline Of Is points. and. while at first there
was some hrrnness. with the two active months
selling a point two above Saturdays closing
figures on the call. the market soon turned
easier under liquidation in the absence of i'm
portant bull support.
New Orleans appeared to be buying a little
July at the opening. but the cables were rather
disappointing, and the reports of extensive cur
tailments in manufacturing circles evidently
promoted profit taking by outside longs, while
the covering OF shorts and the demands from
fresh buyers were moderate.
With only one or two unmportant periods or
relative firmness, the market worked steadily
DOWNWARD &c until at midday May was selling at
from Is TO a points lower. This level attracted
considerable demand from spot interests, and
up to 30 points from the bottom with May SELL
ing around 1890 and July 15.12c. The partial
recovery. however. attracted still heavier liqu-
dation, with brokers representing New orleans
bulls operating in a manner leading to belief
that the interests in question were trying TO
further demand from spot people. but in a gen
eral way the market in the afternoon was weak
er, reaching about the lowest level of the day.
with May selling down TO IA SAC the previous
low point. while July touched 14.s4c
The close was within a point or two of the
bottom. or net loss of 2id55 points Estimates
for to-morrow's receipts at leading points were
a larger movement this week. and advices from
the South Indicated for the firmness among
holders. with some wires asserting that factors
Were looking for Ice.
Liverpool cables were attributed by private
advices 10 liquidation in the absence of demand
for spot cotton from spinners while the reports
of proposed extension OF short time at Man
chester also had an influence.
Port receipts for the day were not half Of last
years. but exports also were light. Trading
was not particularly active I'm the local market,
sales being estimated at only $4,000 bales. and
the offerings seemed chiefly the result of liqui-
dalton on the theory that the market due
to meet with reaction after the recent sharp
advances.
