a bloody Conflict with Police In the
Streets of Rangoon.


Streets OF Rangoon.
For several days the Moslcms ut Rangoon
had been preparing to celebrate religious
festival on the 25th. That morning they
were forbidden by Mr.. Fleming, the British
masistrats, to sacrifice COW near the Hndoo
temple. Mr.. Fleming had threatened the
day before to Issue this order and the Mo-
hammeians were greatly excited just before
the hour OF sacrifice. When the police ap-
pcared near the temple with the announce
ment, the Mohammedans began stonlng
them. The police charged without firing,
but the Mohammcdans held their ground
stubbornly and fought back with st,cks and
stones.
Mr.. Fleming, who had gone to the spot as o
special policeman, was wounded. The po-
liccmeu Withdrew, getting reinforccments,
and charged again without effect. Mr. Flcm-
ing then ordered them to fire. A vollcy was
delivered at close quarters. Twenty Moham-
mctlahs fell dead and many more were severe
ly wounded As the Mohammcdars sull re-
fused to dlsperse, the military were called
out. -Four companies charged with fixed
bayonets. The Mohammedans dispersed
slowly and still fighting, although they had
been wounded in the charge of the troops
They gathered again, however, in the street
short distance from the temple. They had
hardly dispersed before they rcassemblcd In
another street.
A desultory fight between them and the
troops had been In progress all the afternoon
All the military arc occupied in clearing the
streets. Scores Of the Monammedans and
HIndoos have been wounded, nevertheless
they show no signs OF yielding. As fast Is,
they are driven from one district they gather
again in another. The regalars are reg arded
as unequal to the work of subduing them nnt
