that the moolvie or chief priest OF the cantonment
mosque al Poonah had been arrested the discovery
that he was in reasonable correspondence with the
cazee or chief Mussunan priest Of Belgaum. The
plot thus secretly hatched and fortunately discovered
bad most extensive ramifcations. day had been
fixed for general rising at PoOnsh, and similar
ments were designed TO be carried out at Belgium,
and no doubt also at Sattara, kolapore, Sawunt-
Ware, and Dhawar. At Poonah, the intended mas
sacre being checked, most vigorous measures were
taken An available artillery from Bombay was
brought there, and the cantonment bazaar was dis
armed. This duty was omitted in the town only be
cause il Was difficult to do so without declaring the
country in state of seige. Measures asO taken
at Belgaum. The treasure and European families
were moved into the fort and Brtish artillery posted
so as to prevent any efectual resistance in case of
rising Sattara preparations were also made; COM
replaced troop of native gunners, who were movedto
POonah eventually to be cent to Alden. A squadron
of her Msjestys nth Lancers also added to the
force, which, with one company Of the Sd bombay
Europeans made everything secure. AT the same
time the Rance Of Sa.tara and her adopted son, the
e1 Rsjah, were removed TO Bombay, and kept in
Butchers Island. Their arrest was effected on the
morning of the 6:h instant with the utmost secresy
and despatch. A detachment OF artillery with two
guns under Lieutenant Reid and parties from the Sd
Bombay Europeans, her Majestys l4th Light Ora
gooDs the 22d Native Infantry, and Mahratta Horse
III der Colonel Malcolm, accompanied by Mr.: Rose the
Commission and hie assistants, marched into the
city of Sattara before daylight and surrounded the
Palace placing the guns in position in front. Pnaetons
were in readiness to remove the royal family, which
wac taken by surprise when ordered for instant de-
pa3ure. BY eight o'clock the Rance and Rajah were
on their way to POOnah, under escort Of the li.b
Light D,agoons, in charge of DIR. Imlach.
This cleverly affair, and the execution OF
six Mussulmans, guilty Of rebellion and murder, al
Punderpore by being blown from guns on the oh OF
August ipstlled wholesome terror into the disafect
ed. Unfortunately ess stringent measures were taken
at KolapOre, where the evening OF the 3lst OF July,
mutny broke out among the men of the Twenty
seventh Bombay Native Infantry. This regiment, the
Twenty y-eighth at Balgaum, and the Twentynnth, at
Dbarwsr were raised in the South Mahratts country
in 1916, and rjudciousy kept in garrison whers they
were embodied.
On the evening of the 3st of July about 800 Of the
9th broke out into open mutny in the cantonments
outside Kolapore and sacked the messroonl, where
they fortunately found no officers to massacre.
Whether the alarm had been given in sufficient time
to enable the latter to fly cannot say DISTINCTLY but
that such the is probable, for their junior
officers were discovered after the affair murdered ia
