BuTCHERED BY eRIToNs.

Queen Victoria's Soldiers Burn Twelve
Indian Villages and Massacre the Va
tives.
SIMLA, April 24.-Information has
reached here that the British columns
advancing on Manipur under Generals
Lockhart and Turner reached a
large native settlement situated in the
Bhagri valley. The British halted
when within sight of the settlement
and sent scouts forward to inform the
Manipuris that the British generals
were awaiting proposals of peace
from the insurgent tribes The
rebels, however, refused TO
answer this peaceable suggestion, and
consequently the troops were ordered to
advance. The British columns pushed
forward and burned twelve villages
which had been occupied by the rebels.
The latter in great force retreated TO
the hills. The British force then shelled
the hills with shrapnell shells, killing
ing and wounding large numbers of the
enemy. The latter is now believed to
have been completely cowed.
