LONDON, Nov. 15—The newspapers of this city have received graphic details by mail of the recapture of Dargai Ridge by the Gordon Highlanders on October 20, during wh ch that regiment exhibited re- markable dash and courage. On Wednesday, October 20, General Biggs sent the second division to dislodge | the tribesmen from the Dargai Ridge. The position wasa very strong one, the enemy occupying thesummitof a precipi- tous hill. The top of the hill could not ve reached except by asingle path, along which the attacking force—first consisting | ot a Ghurka regiment, the Derbysbire Reziment and the Forestshire Reziment— | was obliged to climb in Indian file, while | three batteries of artillery shelled the breastworks of the hillsmen. Dargai Ridge from the direction of the assault presents a frontage of about a mile, the left end of which is sheer rock for 200 yards. In spite of the difticulty of the ascent the movements of the British troops were fairly well covered, except in the case of a low dip or small valley from 100 to 150 yards wide about half way up the ridge. This dip was exposed > direct fire from tne summigof the elifi. As the Ghurkas, supported by the Derbysnires and Dorsetshires, reached the tire zone the top of the cliffs burst into flame, for 1000 iribesmen had reserved their _fire_until that moment.

I have ust furnished Mr. Steel, your correspondent, with a list of fur thing that will be acceptable, with our compli- ments, by the officers of the Bear on their northern cruise. Also a list of extra provisions not included in the crew rations. THE CALL’S generosity in these particulars is appreciated. F.

Late this afternoon, and before hearing any argu- ment, court adjourn2d until to-morrow afternoon, to permit the stenographers to transcribe their notes. Julian Guinan is still in the custody of the Sheriff, and must wait until to-morrow to know his fare. Nevadans are divided as to what that is likely to be. The emotional exiremists confidently expect the discharge of young Guinan to-morrow. _ A more conservative class believe he will be held to answer the charge against him and that the Grand Jury that meets to-morrow will indict him. 3 “‘He can never be convicied in Ormsby County, anyway,” said a lawyer today. “It would not be fair to the prosecution to try him here. Lt would not be fair to the defense to try him 1n Reno, the home | of the murdered man. The triaP ought to take placein Virginia City—that is, if he is held. Asto bail, murder is not bail- able.” Judge Stone’s decision to put the con- clusion of the exsmination off until to- morrow was a bitier disappointment to | Dr. Guinav. After court had adjourned he approached one of the lawyers for the prosecution, and, with tears in his eyes and an unsteady voice, said : “You tola me there would be no objec- tion to baii, no putting it oft. I want my boy home. to-night.”” Young Guinan, who was leaving the | courtroom, stopped and hesitated a mo- | ment. The signt of his father's grief ai- fected him, but, biting his lip, he turned and followed the Sher ff. The case and young Guinan’s probable fate form the sole topic of conversation on the streets and in the hotels here. There can be no question that the sympathy of Carson is with the boy. He is only a boy, and a Nevadan boy of 16 is more youthful in appearance, and 1n experience, too, than a San Francisco lad. This fresh-faced boy, with his childlike, tremulous lips, his trounbled, watchful eyes, retains listi the babyish curve of chin and cheek. He sits in court huddled up in his chair, nervously biting his lips o his fingers, winking hard at times that he may not show any emotion, for o affect tue stoic is what the Piutes have taught Nevada's rising generation. Julian Guinan seems loose-jointed and rather slow-moving, but when on the wit- ness-stand he dropped down on one knee and pat up his hands, to illustrate how I hoped to have him home | 7, he had heid his rifle when he fired the shot that kiiled the man whom a evada knew as *‘Cnarley”’ Jones, there was action in his pose and he looked thoroughly alert and executive. One could well imagine how straight and steadiiy a bullet must 2o ou its way when directed by such clear eyes, and when hands so strong and un- wavering hola the rifle. But if Julian Guinan’s aim had not been so wonderfully accurate that same mis- shapen builet offered in evidence to-day might have crashea through Jessie Guinan’s head, which was iust eight inches from Jones at the time her brother fired diagonally across the wide street from his bedroom window on the second floor. ' Miss Guinan was in court ail day to-day with therest of her family. Her thin, tragic face is lined and marked, so that she looks all of 26 years o!d. There are deep lines between her level, black brows, strong lines beside her nose and from the corners of her long upper lip. Her large, dark eyes look as though they were burned out with suffaring. | Her mother—a soit-faced, white-haired woman—wept while thestory of the shoot- ing was being told and retoid in court to- day, but not once were Jessie Guinan’s eyes filled with tears, not once did her firmly set lips quiver. ¥ ? every one asks when the sake Charles Jones met death 1s meation No; Jessie Guinan is not pretty, but her colorless, deep-lined fece, with its intent, suffcring eyes and its set expression of hopelessuess and sorrow, is one of the most interesting of faces. It is pa-sionate, trayic, woe stiong. ** I looked at him,”” she said in her testi- mony, speaking oi Jones wher Dr. Guinan approached him. zave hima look not to talk. I was afraid he would say some- thing, and Jones obeyed.” Poor Jessie Guinan, like Sentimental Tommy's fatiier, Is “magerful.” The preliminary examination has de- veloped nothing new so !ar as the pub- lic’s knowledge of this case is concerned. The evidence of James F. Dennis, who was with Jones at the time of the shoot- ing, was read from notes made at the Coroner’s inquest, District Attorney Mc- Gowan emphasized the words: “He had his hand in his righi-nand pocket all the way down the street.” This testimony i3 contradicted by Dr. Guinan and his elder son, Guy, a scholas- tic.looking young man wearing specta- cles. Dr. Guinan said: “] watched bim closely. My daughter
