INDIAN FRONTIER
SURRENDER OF RIFLES
MUSA KHAN'S MESSAGE,
(UNITED TRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.)
(RBUTER'S TELEGRAM.) (Received January 23, 2 p.m.)
DELHI, 22nd January.
Reuters correspondent at Sorarocha wrote on 19th January :—To-day is quiet, and there is less than the usual aii:.ount of sniping. Musa Khan sent in a signed document, stating that if the British column was withdrawn he would undertake that the tribal rifles would be brought in by a certain date, and the Government rifles and other property surrendered if sufficient time was given. The document does not mean a complete surrender, and may be merely a subterfuge to gain time until the weather is less bitter. ■
The officers ifia/? were killed at Anhaitangi on the 14tK'were buried on the hills with impressive simplicity.
