TROOPS FOR MANrPuR.

Four regiments. have already started for
Manipur with the object of efecting the
release Of the prisoners and furnishing the
rebellious tribes. Several mountain bat
teries of artillery and force of cavalry
are also being prepared TO take the field in
Assam Immediately. The general opinion
seems 20 DO that the military authorities
will have to punish the insurgent tribes
severely and promptly in order to avert n
more serious revolt which might follow
any hesitancy or display of weakness upon
the part of the British officials.
THE HOSTILE TRIBES.
The seat Of the Government Of Assam Is
at Shillong. which has population OF
about 1900 only. The population OF the
Province of Assam, however, is estimated
at 5000 900. The hostile tribes are CON-
posed of well-armed, brave, and cunning
fighting-men, who are liable 10 give the
British forces considerable trouble before
the revolt is entirely ended.
