A dispatch from Simla says the ex-

thine, and the fortress hits been abut -
cloned, many 'persons additional being
killed since the first espiosion of Mon-
day, Owing to the confusion and
fright into which 601101188i0718 and ce-
snalties threw the occupants of the
citadel, no systematic investigation into"
the cause of the disasters has been
made. The explosions differ in dower,
and are not attributable to coy visible •
source. It was stated it these dispa-
tches 8017241 days since that `Ruseian.eta '.
gineers isi disguise had been recognize •
ed in and about the citadel for some'
time previous to the advance of Gen.
Roberts' column, and that Afghan offi-
.vers were instrne1ed by them in the art
el planting and discharging military
mines. Sebsegnent developments have
confirmed this, and it is now believe&
by the British ofl^ieere in Cabal that
they are under obligations to St. Pe•
