James w. Quinton. the chief com

investigating some serious troubles
which have occurred among the native

the chief commissioner was holding "A
durbar or conference with the notabili-
ties OF Assam with the view OF arrest
ing one OF the prominent chiefs who
had been instrumental IN deposing the
Rajah.
The chief commissioners, while pur-
suing his inquiries into the disputes
between the chiefs, occupied camp
which was garrisoned by "A Strong force

The attempt TO surprise the camp
failed and the tribesmen were driven
back. They returned. however, anu
kept up the attack aud siege night and

ammunition OF the Ghoorkas gave out
and Commissioner Quinton was obliged
10 give the order: "Sauve qui peut. I"
