WORD GIVEN FOR SLAUGHTER.
The Victims Hacked to Pieces and
Thrown to the Dogs.

The Victims Hacked to Pieces and
Thrown to the Dogs.
At once a swarm of Manipuris fe Il upon
the live Europeans and bound them hand
and foot. The five fought desperately to
avoid the horrible death they knew await
ed them. But it was useless fight of
bare hands against arms. They were
overpowered and bound. The Malipur
executioners were called and stood with
drawn swords near the five men standing
bound. The Manipur soldiers stood glar-
ing at the hated Europeans. The tall
form OF the senaputty was seen in the full
moonlight. His arms were folded and his
face showed all the malignant brutality
of his character
Dismembered Before Death
Tie moon was so bright that every
movement could be seen. He gave the
wore and the blades swept in a semi
Circle downward. They cut through the
bones of the ankles, and the five Euro
peaus fell to the ground footless Again
the signal, and the Redeemed blades had
cut on the bound hands. so that the
bleeding stumps fell free AT the sides.
The third signal, and the five heads were
severed from the body One or two of
the Englishmen were unconscious. but
the native who told it said he saw one of
the sahibs watch the blade descending 10
sever MS head from his body.
The Bodies Dishonored.
The senaputty kicked one OF the bodies.
and then ordered the servants to take
them away. They were cut into pieces
and thrown into the Enclosure where the
royal kennals ale, and the fierce dogs ate
them. When the execution was accom-
plished great shout went up from the
1,O0J Nanipur soldieos who were watch
ing. 1t was heard at the residency, but
was not understood. The facts were
learned later. The remnant of the Ghoorka
troops, with a few British officers and
Mrs. Grimwood, succeeded in retreat to
Geraghat, but of 400 who started on the
expedition only 100 returned.
Kept Bullet for Mrs. Grimwood
The story of Mrs. Grimwood's escape
reads like chapter from the history of
the great Scpoy rebellion. She had on
only pair of house shoes when she start
ed, and they gave out in a day or two by
contact with the jagged stones. They had
to light almost every foot of the way and
at length met company of Ghoorkas sent
to their relief The Manipuris use the
English bugle calls, and as 1t was night
time, the English officers could not tell
whether the relief party Were Manipuris
or Ghoorkas in the British service. The
commanding officer said to Mrs. Grim
wood: 81 have only two cartridges left; if
they are enc mics one of them is for YOU"
Their food supplies had also given out
and they were in a most deplorable con-
QitiOn.

THE GREAT INTER-coNTlNeNTAL.
Progress of the Work of Surveying a
Railway Through south America,

Progress OF the Work of surveying "a
Railway Through South America.
WAsHGNGTON CITY, May 26-Commis-
sioners Cassatt and Davis. of the Inter
continental railway commission, have
submitted to Secretary Blaine a brief
resume of the work done up to this time
for the secretary's information. The re-
port states that after gathering all OBJ
tainable information as to whether a
practicable line of railroad at practica-
bic cost could he constructed to connect
the railway systems of the United States
aud Mexico with the existing railways
of South America, the commission deter
mined upon route which the report
gives in detail. The principal difficulty
now is for funds, the commission only
having Sl30, 600 appropriated by the
United States. The only other country
which has contributed is Chili-S3, OOO
Mexico, Uruguay, and the Argentine Re-
public, through their representatives on
the commission, declined to contribute.
The other countries represented are un.
derstood TO have promised to pay their
quota, but have not as yet done so.
VIII Go on with the Work.
Notwithstanding this lack of funds the
work will proceed, but with only three
parties in the field, one of which will
make survey through Central America,
and the other two work in Colon bia, Ecu
ador, ald Peru. These two parties will
work together first in the location of
line across the mountains from Popayan
to Paste The determination of a line
through this district, known as "the Knot
of the Andes" is perhaps the most diff
cult problem which the engineers will

Mckinley in Ohio, and that the fight will

LONDON, May 26-The massacre at
Manipur, the full details of which are
now at hand, is assuming greater impor-
lance as the day for its discussion in par
Lament draws nigh. All England is ap-
palled at it. There appears to be no
doubt that Commissioner Swinton was
acting by the viceroy's instructions in at
tempting to capture the senaputty
treacherously as he came out of the dur
bar. or council, and that it was only
when the Manipuri chief saw the clearest
evidence of this that he himself resorted
to similar course of deceit to get hold
of the British officers The troops had
not expected trouble and had come with
but forty rounds of ammunition.
Invited to a Farley.
After the fighting had lasted some time,
messenger came from the palace saying
that the senaputty wished to meet and
confer with the commissioner in the thor
oughfare, half way between the palace
gate and the resdency gate. The English
saw that their condition was desperate;
that massacre stared them in the face.
There was one woman in the party, Mrs.
Grimwood, wife of the political agent,
The fate of women in Indian wars is
known. The commissioners decided to go
unarmed and parley with the senaputty.
Accordingly, at S o'clock Mr.. Quinton, Mr..
Grimwood, w. NJ. Cossins, secretary to
Mr.. Quinton; Col. Skene, and Lieut..
simpson left the residency gate.
Treachery of the Senaputty.
All five were unarmed, having laid
aside both their swords and their pistols.
1t was bright moonlight night, and the
anxious English officers and their
Ghoorka followers, looking over the wall
OF the resIdency, saw them 90 down to
the main gate of the wall around the pail
ace. Several Mauipuris met them. There
was short p4rley, and then the five Eng
Hshmen entered the gate and disappeared
from view. The story of what then hap
pened came several days atterward from
native. The senaputty and the regent
received the five Englishmen. The sena.
putty and the commissioner then walked
apart, talking earnestly, After a few
minutes the senaputty called the regent,
ana there was more earnest talk Then
