Ameer of Afghanistan at Aluinsjed (refused to allow the British to pass, and crowned the heights which command the the pass with his followers, i After three hours interview' with the officer, in which he warned him that the act would be regarded as the act of the Ameer himself, Major Cavagnare, commanding the advance escort of the mission to Cabul, proceeded to Jamrood.
