MURDER OF BRITISHERS.
PESHAWAR NATIVES TO' BE DISARMED. By Telegraph—Press Association.— Calcutta, May 7. Lord Cckzon, the Viceroy of India, has decided to disarm the natives of the Peshawar district owing to the frequent assassinations of Britishers. Tho following appeared in the Times iri February:—A correspondent learns from India that the Hadda Mullah is causing soma uneasiness, and that it is chiefly in view of possible action on his part that tho movable column in the Swat Valley is being maintained. There will bo cause for apprehension until tho Chitral rolicfs have taken place. Tho Hadda Mullah should not bo confused with the Mad Fakir. Though a firebrand of considerable influence on the Peshawar frontier, lie has never developed the energy and enterprise of tho hero of tba attack on Malaknnd Camp. Tho Hadda Mullah lives in the Jarobi Valley, an oasis in tho Upper Mohmand country'; his homo was destroyed by the Mohmand field forco under Brigadier-General Sir E. R. Elles in 1897. Since this date the Mullah has not shown much activity until recently.
