Received 10.30 p.m., April 24th. CALCUTTA, April 24,
More bodies of so-called Afghans, numbering several thousands, belonging to the Ningrahari and Shinwari tribes, have crossed the Kabul river and joined the Mohmands. The Ameer's authority which is shadowy in relation to them was notasserted and as the Mullah's inlluence is growing rapidly, mobilisation of the troops has been ordered.

Some of the frontier tribes imagine that Britain is afraid of offending the Ameer. The Earl of Minto, the Vicerov and Governor-General-of India, returns to Simla forthwith. .
