AFGHAN CALCULATIONS.
ATTACK WELL TIMED. EXPECTATIONS UNFULFILLED. A. and K.Z. LONDON, Aug. 17. A White Paper shows that the Afghan trouble arose when India •was partially denuded of troops, and rapid concentration was hampered by the defection of the frontier militia, and the threat of rebellion at Peshawar. CHOLERA ON FRONTIER. REASSURING REPORT. A. and N.Z. LONDON, Aug. 17. The Viceroy of India states that the report that cholera is causing heavy mortality on the North-west Frontier is exaggerated. He says that the outbreak was purposely not published in the press for military reasons, inasmuch as it would have encouraged Afghan morale and dis* couraged recruitment in India. Protective measures were initiated before the outbreak.
