A dispatch from Burmah of June
u, says: For several days MOslems
have been preparing to celebrate re-
ligious festival today. This morning
they were forbidden by Mr.. Fleming,
British magistrate, to sacrifice a COW
near the Hfndoo temple. When the
police appeared near the temple with
the announcement the Mohammedans
began stoning them. The police
charged without firing, but the Mo
hammedans held their ground stub
bornly and fought back with sticks
and stones.
At last Flemming ordered them to
fire and twenty Mohammedans fell
dead and many more were severely
wounded. Four companies of military
then charged on the double-quiek with
fixed bayonets. The Mohammedans
dispersed slowly and still fighting.
The military is occupied in clearing
! the streets. Many Mohammedans and
Hindoos have been killed and scores
wounded. The regulars are regarded
as unequal to the work of subduing
them, and the volunteers have been
called upon to do duty in the streets.

aggression and is preparing for any
contingency. The defenses of the
country prove stronger than expected.

trance of the Menam, river on which

possible for use and the government
