ATTACKS BY THE MAHSUDS.
Au«u,r,»i(an aiid 'N.X. Cahl<» Association)
Allahabad, Dec. 18.,
The Mahsuds attacked outposts after we encamped at Jandola. . They displayed considerable bravery and organisation, despite a hail of bullets from Lewis guns and rifles and shells from mountain batteries.
At one time they advanced in extended order in approved fashion, attempting to rush our positions.
British officers state that many of these tribesmen are deserters from our frontier militia.
The enemy suffered severely
