every hour. All the shops in Benares are closed
and all the natives in the city and district have
sullenly stopped work and have gathered In large
crowds in and about the principal thoroughfares
of the Holy City. Serious riots occurred THIS
morning between the natives and the local authori-
ties of Benarcs, who are supported by
the British troops quartered near this city.
In response to several dispatches sent to
the MARQUIS of Lansdowne, the Governor-General
Of India. who is now at Simla directing the move
ments of the troops marching on the Manipur dis
trict in order TO avenge the Manipur massacre and
the murder Of Chief Commissioner Quinton and
his staff, strong reinfoIcements of European and
native troops have been drafted into Benares and
further reinforcements are on their way here.
The British troops are guarding all the banks and
uubnc buildings, and also occupy. in force. many
points of vantage throughout the city and dis

troops will be able to suppress promptly any serl-
Gus outbreak on the part of the natives; but the

existing among the Hindoos, already felt far ana
