PLOT TO USE BOMBS
GENERAL WILCOX FASTENING
WITH TROOPS TO DEFEND
kHYBER PASS.

Lopdon.-India Is a source OF con-
siderable uneasiness to the British
government at the present moment.
The difficulties with the Mohammed-
ans seemed on the eve OF settlement
when on Saturday. according to re-
ports received here, a new danger
threatened.
An attempt was made by a large
Afghan force, numbering from $4,000
to 10000, which went across the bor-
der divided into two bodies. to seize
the blockhouse of Khyber Pass, near
Landie Khotal. The attack was re-
pulsed with trifling casualties among
the british, but the Afghans re-
manned in front OF Landie Khotal, and
another body is reported to be moving
into the Bazaar valley by way of Lis
ote pass.
General Wilcox. who is in command
of the British forces recently dis
patched to quell the troubles. has gone
to Jamrad, a few miles west of Pesh-
awar. at the entrance of Khyber pass,
and is fastening forward his troops to
meet the new development.
All frontier kilograms are carefully
censored at Simla. From Calcutta
comes news of the discovery of plot
to murder the Europeans by means of
bombs. The conspiracy appears to be
of an extensive character. and many
arrests have been made. The respon-
sibility for the plot is placed on the
natives, a number of discriminating
documents having been seized, to-
gether with supply of bombs and
other explosives.
The discovery of the plot was made
through the arrest and confession of
the author of the bomb outrage at Mo-
cufferpur. the capital of the province
of the same name in Bengal. in which
two Europeans were killed.
The morning newspapers. referring
to the Indian news. generally concur
that there is no cause for alarm or
for grave anxiety. If, as is hoped, the
Ameer is not directly responsible for
the attitude of the Afghan border
tribes. but they point out that until
the Ameer's attitude is definitely
known it behooves the government to
be alert and prepared for eventualities.
