§ SIR C. W. DILKE (Gloucester, Forest of Dean)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India whether he has now received news regarding the recent fighting in Chitral?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA (Mr. H. H. FOWLER,) Wolverhampton, E.Yes, Sir; I have received a reply to the effect that Sher Afzul is interned in Afghanistan, and that Umra Khan is not advancing on Chitral town. In recent operations against the Kaffirs he may have entered Chitral territory, but he professes to be merely protecting himself from Kaffir raids.
