THE REBELLION IN AFGHANISTAN. i The Simla correspondent of the Daily News writes: 1 The health of the Ameer has decidedly Improved, but ! he has ceased to hold Durbars of late, though announcing that he is determined to take the field personally if the rebellion continues. This is very Ull. likely, as the Northern Ghilzais would probably rise if he left Cabul. The disorder in the Maruf district has reacted upon the tribes on our Yiehin frontier, ! the bad characters of which see a chance of raiding. ! It was determined some time ago to send two hundred! or three hundred men of the Quetta garrison, for ! whom there was no barrack accommodation, to 1 Khmak. These, it is said, will now go at once. Their presence will prevent raids and protect the railway survey parties working on the Khwaja Amram range. It is necessary to explain this, as rumour may credit the Government of India with contemplating a forward movement. There is not the slightest chance of this, our policy being strict abstention from interference with the internal quarrels of the Afghans while keeping peace on the frontier. ! ! Kandahar news shows that the Hotakh Kakers are swarming in the hills about Maruf, where the combined forces from Kandahar and the Ghilrais are collected. Unless active operations be taken the disorders will increase in the Kandahar province, especially on our frontier, where the tribes are never well under the control of Afghan authority. Later telegrams somewhat modify the intelligence previously received, and show that the frontier tribes at rishin are much quieter. The arrangements for sending the European troops to Khoiak are held in abeyance for the present. Ordinary escorts of native cavalry are being furnished for the railway survey parties. The latest advices from Kandahar report all I quiet there up to the 20th May.  KEATING'S Pownan.—lrille bugs, moths, fleas, and alt insects (poi featly unrivalled). Harmleas to everything but inseeta Tine, ed. and le.  • Mo. CRAMBEMAIN, writing to an Edinburgh gentleman, urges the necessity of organisation among the Liberal Unionists, observing that their old associations have all been captured by their opponents. . _ .  A NEW wing of the Portsmouth Sailors Home, contaming 39 sleeping cabing, erected by naval officers as a Jubilee memorial, has been opened by Lady Willes, wife of the naval commander-in-chief.  MR. H. F. Wmanss, now maycr of Chipping Norton, held that position, says the Cdian, when the Queen was crowned. This is a coincidence which is probably unparalleled throughout the provinces. A YOUNG man named James Perry, employed at the works of Messrs. Butterworth and Hope, cardboard. box manufacturers, Hoperstreet, Leeds, the other afternoon attempted to murder Emily Jowett, a young woman employed by the same firm. Be had been paying his addresses to her, and they had quarrelled. He suddenly went behind her while she want work, and fired at her several times with a revolver. One of the shots, struck her on the forehead and passed out at the side of the head. Perry then laid the revolver down and afterwards gave himself up to the police, saying, "Oh. it Is all right; I am not going to resist..
