INDIAN FRONTIER
AFGHAN REGULARS RESTORE ORDER. (British Official Wireleas.) (Received February 13, 7.30 p.m.) RUGBY, February 17. The Secretary for India, in the House of Commons, was asked whether he had information of the tribal unrest on the Indian frontier, and in Afghanistan, and when it was expected that the British Minister would be able to proceed to Kabul. The Minister replied that a certain section, the Shinwari Tribe, had captured the Afghan frontier post of Spina Kotha, on the Kabul-Peshawar Road on February 10, but this post was recaptured by Afghan regulars on February 13. Communication on the road was suspended during this disturbance, but so far as he was aware, would now be restored. The British Minister left London this morning, and was expected that he would be able to reach Kabul some time in March.
