women, girls, priests and foreigners sacrificed
at Mandleay for the restoration OF the Kings
health were buried alive, not burned, under
the towers of the city walls
Following is an explanation OF the horror
When city is built in Burma human sacri-
hces are offered. a new monarch usually
has new capital. The evil spirits are irli-
tated because there has been no change Of
capital, and the virtue of the old sacrifices
being gone to appease the evil spirits, the
astrologers declared it necessary TO offer 700
lives. The sacrifice was made by order Of
King Theebau
Theebau's son and heir, only few months
cid. and the brother of the late king, have
both died Of smallpox.
Astrologers advise Theebau to remove the
capital to Mount Shobo, the original seat of
the present dynasty.

thatit will be most dangerous innovation if
the Viceroy henceforth shall be liable to re-
call or beexpected to resign when the Gov
