CALCUTTA, July 3 A compromise on
the plague measures having been ar
ranged between the authorities aud
the rioters the disturbances have
c-ased. The absence Of rain IL causing
the greatest anxiety throughout India.
The rioting arose out of the growing
practice Of the Mohammedans Of ~eiz-
ing and refusing 10 pay rent for cer-
tain ss~called mosques. buil:. contrary
~ the tene;s OF the Mohamm-dan re-
lision. on ground belonging In infdels
The demolition Of a mud hut a w
called mosque. iei to the outbreak
The rioters were continually reinforced
In response 10 tei-grarns sent up the
country, in which they appealed to
all true Mahammedans To aid their CO.
rrlisiousAeSthren.
For sSlsours the pois<San military
were repeatedly obliged To clear the
streets Detached parties Of Moham-
medans stoned Europeans wher~ver
they found them. in some cases drag
giug them from their glarrirs.
All telegraphic lines were cut aud
the buildings containing Europeans
were bcsieged. There were many mar
row escapes The rioters shouted war
cries and vile epithetS aud grossly in
suited European woman.
In several parts OF Calcutta IL Is still
dangerous for Europeans to 10 about,
and II Is likely to remain so owing To
the nature Of the compromise by which
the riot was brought to an end.
The trouble Is greatly increased BY
the absence of the higher officials,
most of whom are now In the hills.
Those who remained behind h-sitated
To undertake the responsibility of ex-
treme measures. The result was that
the troops were not allowed to fire or
To take the offensive. even when ex-
posed 10 every kind OF indignity and
insult Their behavior aud self-rc-
Straint under the circumstances were
admirable.
Ii is understood that the compro mise
IL based upon the unconditional sur
render of the lands, but it is believed
that this concession will prove stand
ing menace To the safety Of Europeans,
as the rioters will celebrate the victory
throughout all India.
In spite OF the cessation of the riots
the situation II regarded aS extremely
grave, and II is felt that unless some
official Is invested with plcnary powers
during the absence Of the governing
authorities European citizens will be
compelled to act on their own respon-
sibility.
