NORWILI ,GONH THE lNDIAN’ UPRISING. .—.—— Fort Maude In the Khyber ‘ Pass Gap- tured by the Afridis. FIGHTING WAS DESPERATE. Great! Anxiety Is Admitted, Even In oni- cial Circles. In England—An Allega- tlon That Turkey Is the Cause of All the Trouble. Loltlon, Aug. 25.-—An official dispatch from Simla announces that FortMaude, in the Khyber pass, has been captured by the Afridis after desperate fighting. The garrison, which was composed of native levies known as the Khyber rifles, retired. The Afrldis afterward burned the fort. The fate of Ali Mus- jid, which was simultaneously attacked by the Afridis. is not known. It is admitted even in official circles , that the news from India is of the grav- est description. All those who are fa- 'miliar with the situation attach the greatest importance to the rising of the warlike Afridis, who are estimated to muster 26,000 fighting men. The Afridis. however, only form a part of. the in- -surgent‘s the British must put down. Is Turkey Behind It? A letter from India published in The Standard emphasizes the belief that the sultan of Turkey is at the back of the whole uprising. The writer says: “The average Mohammedan, even in British India, cannot distinguish be- tween the Greeks and the other E r0- peanznationalities, and when he 1e ns that the sultan has been at war with the Christians, whom he has utterly de— feated, he understands that this means an English defeat and exuits accord- ingly.” ’ The afternoon newspapers today com- , ment severely upon the Marquis of Salis- bury’s bad diplomacy. The St. James Gazette says: “The moral of the-whole story is that‘we, who have 50,000,000 Mohammedans in .our eastern empire, have chosen to pre- sent ourselves to all the world as the chief enemy of the sultan, whom the great majorly of men of that creed look upon 3. their head in religious matters. If we had succeeded in inspir- ing real terror the harm done might have been less, but what fear can be felt for a power which, after ringing warnings, is pulled uni-short by orders from St. Petersburg?” The scene of the rising has the Khy- ber pass for its center. The plan of the British commanders is to draw the in- surgents to the vicinity of Jamrud, which is strongly fortified, close to the Indian mouth of the pass, having Peshawur and Kohat for bases, arfl where the British number about 11,000 men. The policy 'of the Afridis is to tempt the British into the hills and spurs of the pass. The Theater of War. There were rumors in London last night that both the forts alluded to in the above dispatch, which are in the Khyber pass, on the Afghan border, had been captured by the rebels. The Afridis in revolt are said to num- ber about 20,000 first class hill fighters. Heavy artillery and a big force of Brit- ish troops, under Generals Bloo’d, West— macott and Elles, are operating against I - the tribesmen. In reply to the strong warning sent by the Viceroy of India, Lord Elgin, to the ameer of Afghanistan against med- dling in the revolt, the ameer has sent a denial of any intention of acting in bad faith. Baluchistan is a native state de- pendent on Great Britain, lying between Persia and India. It has an area of 140,000 square miles and a population of over 1,000,000, the capital being Kelat and the form of government despotic, with a khan as a ruler. The inhabitants are divided into many tribes, ruled by chiefs, whose great in- .fluence makes them restive allies. Lying south of Afghanistan and a large part of the population being Mo- hammedan, the intrigues of the ameer have often made themselves felt. The fact that stem measures have been found necessary to coerce the Baluchis- tans shows the extent to which the spirit of revolt against British power has spread. Indlgnatlon Among the Sikhs. Bombay, Aug.- 25.——The report that when the Mohmunds attacked Fort Shabkadr they burned all the sacred books of the Sikh temple there has ex- cited the greatest indignation among the 'Sikhs throughout the province and has greatly incensed the Sikh troops on the frontier. The Bombay Gazette announces that three of the principal chief Baluchis- tan, Slrdars ,Mehrattawhan, Gimmes- bakhis and Yarmahomed, were arrest- ed on the arrival of the Mushkaf-Bolan mail train, upon which they were in- duced to go to Quetta, in order to meet an agent of the governor general, the Earl of Elgin, who had arrived there by special train snortly before. Sirdar Ghomesbakhis is a son-in-law of Sirdar Sir Arid Khan, one of the most loyal chiefs of Baliichistan. All three of the sirdars who have been made prisoners belong to the Sarawan division of Ba.- luchistan and are suspected of intrigu- ing against the government. They are known to have been disaffected for some time past. The arrests have caused a. great sensation among the Mohamme- dans, and further important develop- ments are expected. Wild Man Becoming Rational. Greenwich, Conn.. Aug. 25.——Joseph Miller, the Long Ridge wild man, who was caught near here on Sunday, is re.- tional at times and is anxious to go to Kent, Conn. .

A HUMAN sour was Bunsen. Police Said to [Java Damaging; Evidence Against Avolph Ltietgert. Chicago, Aug. Ill—One of the sensa- tions which the state expec:s to spring in the Luetgert wife murder case, now on trial in the criminal court, will be the testimony of Professor Walton S. Haines of Bush Medical college. He will testify that he found indisputable evidence in the ashes taken from under the boiler in the Luetgert sausage fac- tory that a skeleton was incinerated in the fire from which the ashes resulted. These ashes have been found, it is al- leged, to contain insoluble phosphates resulting from the incineration of ani- mal bones. The report of the scientist has been carefully guarded. It has been revealed to no one outside of the state attorney’s office. That the work was being done was known to only a few others. It was announced that Professor Haines’ experiments had been highly successful and that he had secured what the state is most in want of in its case, convincing evidence that a human body was destroyed in the Lugtgert fac- tory some time prior to May' 22;. when the evidence is said to have been se- cured. The state has always connected the furnaces 'of the boiler with the al- leged destruction of the missing wom- an’s body. How to account for the firing ofthe boilers on the afternoon of Sunday, May 2, puzzled the police. If, as they said, the body had been dissolved in the strong, potash solution, why did Luet- gert use the furnaces and why did he carefully rake out the ashes? When Professor Haines was called in. he viewed the case from a purely scien- tific standpoint. The evidence as the state had collected it was presented to him. When the search of the factory had been partially completed, he de- clared that if the ashes taken from the furnace on May 2 could'be secured he could. discover what they contained, and that if a body had been destroyed, or, as the police believe, a skeleton had been doubt. This conference was held on Saturday, May 22, a week after Luetger: had been arrested. As a. result of that conference Pro- fessor Haines, Inspector Schaack, As- sistant State Attorney McEwen. Cap- tain Schuettler and several policemen made a hurried trip to the factory. The pile of ashes that had last been taken from the furnace was still" in its place. The ashes had been carefully sifted and searched in hope of finding some clew. ,The pile was all gathered up and taken to the laboratory of Professor Haines at the Rush Medical college, where it was analyzed, with the result as above stated. NEGOTIATING roe PEACE. The Ottoman Bank Willing to Furnish Funds to Greece For the Indemnity. Constantinople, Aug. ‘25.——It is under- stood that the Imperial Ottoman bank has notified the embassadors of the powers of its willingness to provide the entire'amount of indemnity agreed upon between Greece and Turkey if the con- trol of the Greek finances is assured as security. The Turkish government now pro- poses that the sultan’s troops occupy V010 and Larissa and the country in the rear of those places until the Greek war indemnity is paid, immediately withdrawing the troops south of this line on the signing of the treaty of peace. The Marquis of Salisbury, how- ever, maintains his opposition to the Turkish occupation of the towns men- tioned, especially Larissa. Flour Jumps In England.
