THE THIBETAN WAR.

[per press association J Caloptta, September 25 Later information states that the troops under General Graham drove the Thibetans from Jalapla Pass. The enemy made a gallant stand until the rapid artillery fire from the mountain guns of the British completely demoralised them, and they fled from their position, having lost 400 men m the engagement. The casualties on the British side are put down at 12 men wounded. All the Thibetan positions wers captured.

In view of the limited resources at his command, General Graham intends to occupy Jalapla Pass, and withdraw the troops permanently from Sikkim. This course has been adopted, as General Graham considered the troops there were exposed to danger, as the town is open to attack from several quarters. It is intended to push forward as soon as reinforcements arrive. (Reoelved September 27, 12 35 a m ) - OAIOOTTAj September 20.

General Graham is advancing on Rinchigong, where the Thibetan forces have been encamped since their defeat.
