THE DACOITs OF THE DECCAN.
Armed Gangs Securing the Country and
Burning Palaces Manifesto.
London Times ]

CALCUTTA, May 19.-Dacoity, or robbery
by armed gangs, is assuming alarming pro-
portions Ii the Deccan, especially IN the
Poona district. For some time past bands OF
Dacoits have been securing the country and
committing series Of daring attacks on
houses and villages. They seem to form part
of regular organization under the command
Of one Wassadeo Bulwund, lately clerk in
the Financial Department. On the tenth a
band 200 strong attacked the village of Pol
huspe, near Panwell, on the opposite side of
Bombay harbor. They entered the house Of a
rich man named GuneSh Punt, formerly De-
wan OF Baroda, and after wounding several
inhabitants, carried off property valued at
5000 rupees.
On Tuesday night the Boodhwar and Wish
rambag palaces at PoOna, which are half
mile apart, were set on fire simultaneously
and totally destroyed, together with several
both fires were the work Of incendlaries, and
they are generally attributed to Dacoits.
BoOdhWar Palace contained the magistrates
court and several public offices, while Wish
rambag was occupied by the Government
High School and the Education Department
the offices are lost as also the government
book depot, with books to the value OF $4,000.
Altogether about fifty houses have been de-
stroyed the loss OF property being very great.
The fire would probably have done much more
damage but for the assistance rendered by
the Seventy eighth Highlanders, now quar-
tered at Poona Great excitement prevails in
that city.
The Dacoits have carried their audacity to
the pitch Of sending manifesto to the Bonn
bay government In this remarkable docu-
ment they inform the government that great
distress prevails in the country; that unless
extensive public works are at once opened,
employment provided for the people, native
trades encouraged, taxes reduced and the
salaries Of highly paid Europeans cut down,
they will not cease to plumber, but will ex-
tend to Europeans what they have hitherto
confined to natives. They 60 on to say that
they will kill the Governor Of Bombay on his
way to Mahableshwar, will hang the Sessions
Judge OF Poona, will carry murder and ra-
pine throughout the country, and stir up a
mutiny and massacre of the Europeans.
The manifesto ends by warning the Cover
nor that unless he at once complies with the
acquisitions the price Of 1000 rupees Will be
put on his head. Four persons, describing
themselves as Hari Naik, Rajeshri G. H.,
Tamponheo, head clerk, and Wassadeo Bull
wund Fhadke, Minister to Swajee il, append
their signatures and seals. The government,
which was at first inclined to leave the mat
ter in the hands Of the local police, Is now
taking more energetic measures. A consider.
able number Of troops have been told off tc
patrol the country, and a reward OF 1000
rupees Is offered for the capture of Wassadeo
