FEARS OF A RISING IN INDIA.
Voiced in an Alarmist Article in
the London Spectator.
Next Thursday Is the Anniversary Of
the Memorable Mutiny.
(Dy Associated Presa)

LONDON, May 5.-The Spectator to-day
publishes an Alarmist article in regard
to India. and the possibility Of serious
trouble in hat country.
The Spectator refers to the despatch
from Calcutta. published in The Times
on April II. announcing that much ex-
element prevailed In North Behar owing
to the fact that all the mango trees in
several districts had been found smeared
with a mixture of mud and of the hairs
of some animal.
The officials wer perplexed, some con-
sidering that the smearing of the trees
was a secret sign connected with the COW
protection movemnt. and this and other
movements going or in North Behar
disturbed and puzzled the Government
officials.
In It's reference to the Times despatch,
the Spectator recalls that next Thurs
day is the anniversary Of the Indian
MutIny, and that this anniversary has
been preceded by a distribution OF cakes
throughout Behar and the Northwest.
According to The Spectator there is
something stirring among the Nepaulese
priests, and It is feared that II p%ortends
another serious rising in India.
The rising. II II takes place, according
to The Spectator. will be due to the
dlsafrection which exists on account Of
the rulings of the Opium Commission, In
creased taxes. the COW question and other
matters which have caused deep mutter-
ings among he populace.
