D1ABonIoAL MURDER.
Two Women Drutnlly Killed by Robbers at
81. NInrtlnsvillo, In.

sr. MARrINsvILIE, La, Aug. 1.-Two
of the most diabolical and atrocious
murders known in crime annals were
committed In this town last night, the
the victims being Mrs. James Robert
son and her daughter, Miss Belle Rob
ertson.
Their dead bodies were found in the
room this morning. Mrs, Robertson's
throat was cut from car to ear and her
daughter had been strangled to death.
The imprints OF her assailants fingers
were left upon her throat. 1t is quite
evident that two or more persons parti-
cipated in the crime, and that their OBJ
ject was robbery. There is no clue to
tho perpetrators, but every effort is be-
ing made 70 detect the guilty parties.

KILLED TO THE LAST MAN.
MASSACRE OF ENGLISH AND
NATIVE INDIAN TROOPS.
Two Disasters Reported to Her
Majesty's FOrces-Gallant Fight
Ing. but at too Great Advantage
to Win.

CALCUTTA, March 31.-Official dis
patches received here by government off,
GERS confirm report of massacre of
Ghoorkas at Manipur, in the province OF
Assam. About 40 of the native SOL
diers were slain by hostile tribes, men OF
Assam, after two days desperate fight
ing. The fate of the British officers, who
were in command of the Ghoorkas and of
Chief Commissioner ]. W. Quinton, who
was conducting negotiations at Durbar
for the arrest of prominent chief who
had been instrumental in deposing the
Raah of Manpur, is still uncertain, but
the viceroy of India, Marquis of Lans-
downe, believes that all the officers and
officials have either met death at the
hands of the rebellious tribes or that
they are held as prisoners.
In addition to the disaster at Manipur
it is believed that the force of British
troops, composed OF detachment OF
200 soldiers of the Bengal infantry and
about eighteen Ghoorkas who were
marching from Shillong to Manipur in
order to reinforce the Forty-second and
Thirty-second Ghoorkas light infantry,
which composed the escort OF Chief Com
missioner Quinton, have been attacked
and have shared the fate Of their com.
rades at Manipur. The Bengal infantry
detachment and eighty Ghoorkas, it ap-
pears, were set upon by Aasamesc or ma
tive troops while they were passing
difficult and dangerous pass
age, and though they fought gallantly
against the heavy odds, the rebel tribes
from the advantageous positions which
they occupied on the sides of pass and
ahead and behind the British forces,
poured such destructive fire into the
ranks of the Belgalese and Ghoorkas
that the latter are said to have been
killed to a man.
The viceroy is hurrying troops into the
province of Assam in order to punish the
hostilcs. Reiniorccments Of troops are
also being sent into the states located in
proximity to Assam in order to prevent
any possible disorder or war like the out
break which, it is thought, might follow
the spreading of the news of the massacre
of the British troops at Manipur.
