On the same day, word was cabled that a number of British officers andnative soldiers had been massacred on the Afghanistan frontier, at aplace called the Tochi Valley. A government officer, Mr. Gee, was travelling through the district underthe escort of a body of troops. The party was attacked by a tribe offrontiersmen, and the British obliged to retreat, their enemiesfollowing them for several miles. Some of the officers commanding the troops were killed, and all of themwere wounded. Mr. Gee ...had been sent to the frontier to fix the site for a new outpostor fort, and to collect fines that had been imposed on the frontiersmenfor past misconduct. The Waziris, as the tribe is called, did not like Mr. Gee's mission, andso lay in wait for his party, and, when it entered the valley, poureddown from the hills on all sides and in great numbers. Great Britain will send out an expedition to punish the Waziris, but itis expected that it will take some severe fighting to overcome thesenatives. They are a powerful tribe which can muster about forty thousand fightingmen.
