!INDORE.

The following is an extract of a letter from Lieu-
tenant A. R. Hutchinson, Bheel agent and Politi-
cal Assistant to the Governor-General at Bhopawur,
-, clearly proving Holkar's fidelity :
" Mhow Fort, July 26.

" On the Ist July the troops at Indore revolted.
The Resident and most of the English inhabitants
eFlectet their escape; but the clerks of the telegraph
- kpartment and in the offices, with their families,
ettft.re .1 fearfully ; 34 Christians were murdered in
col I blood. The details of this revolt I have not
herd. On the 2d July, at 3 p.m., a servant
of Colonel Stockley's arrived breathless from In-
dore with.the awful news that Holkar had turned
against ns, and that the European residents had
been murdered. My escort, consisting of 30 men
of the Bheel corps, was in itself insufficient for any
defene, so I determined to take them to Indur-
pOre, and there to make a stand. I accordingly
left de ir Bhopawur with my wife and child for In-
durpo:e. It was a trying hour, but we committed
ourselves to God. At Indttrpore we found people
in the greatest alarm and excitement. The men—
about 200 of the Bheel corps—seemed determined ,
to defend the station with their lives ; so, after
wri ins to the Resident at Baroda for aid, we re-
t red for the night. At 2 a.m. of the 3d I was
awoke by an express from Dhar to say that some
Ma' ocriedan troops there had revolted, and were
in irching in force for the destruction of Bhopawur.
I went to the lines to ascertain the temper of the
snarl, but to my bitter disappointment there were
only some 30 left, and thaw by their manner
sgetned anything but willing to defend us. Seeing
this, we had nothing left but to disguise ourselves
mid. fly. Accordingly, at 4.a.re. of the 3d, Mrs.
biltockley, four children, and an ayah got into a
common cow-cart, C---, baby, myself, and ayah
into another, Dr. Chisholm on horseback, and we

JAbwA territory.

P.m. we halted to rest. As we started two men '
carne from the village Charawna to inquire who we
were. Our servants said we were Parsee mer-
ehants going to Baroda. On we went again, and
