BRITISH TROOPS g.
CAUGHT N AMBUSH
INDIAN TRlBESMEN IN OESPER-
ATE FIGHT, KILL SIXTY
SOLDIERS.

SIMLA. India, April 25.-A desperate
battle was fought yesterday between a
detachment of British troops and
tribesmen Afgan allied on the north
ern frontier. Sixty British are dead
and wounded. The dispatches are
meagre but it seems that the British
were caught in a narrow defile and
forced TO make stand against great
odds.
They fought stoutIy and succeeded
in routing the enemy but not until
the loss had been heavy.
Reinforcements have been asked for.
Lord Kitchener is now in personal
command and is confident the rebel
lion will soon be suppressed.
