PLAGUE RIOT AT BOMBAY.
MObs Attack Europeans and Several
Lives Lost.

Lives Lost.
Bombay, March 9.-Serious plague riots
have occurred in the native quarter.
Several persons have been killed or
wounded
Troops and blue. jackets have been dis
patched to the scene of the disturbance
The trouble arose through a plague par
ty inquiring into the cause of the sickness
of a Mohammedan woman. An enormous
crowd of castemen gathered and stoned
and mobbed the party, which retired for
an escort of armed police and then return
ed and redemanded the surrender of the
patient, which was refused.
A Parsee magistrate, who exhorted the
populace not to resist the police was him
self struck, whereupon he ordered the po-
lice to charge. They did So and four Mo-
hammedans were killed and several
wounded
The disturbance spread with alarming
rapidity, until the whole quarter around
the Bhendi bazar presented a spectacle
similar to that of the riots of 1898.
The Mohammedans, who were Joined by
the Hindoos, assaulted every European or
Eurasian they met and a hysterical mob
attacked the European dwellings in the
suburb of Bycaulla. The residents barTi-
caded themselves in their houses and fired
blank cartridges from their windows
which drove the rioters away.
In the meantime, troops were hurried
to the scene, and a battery of artillery is
now patrolling the Bhendi bazaar.
The outbreak was specially directed
against Christians.
1t is reported that two European soldiers
were nearly killed, but it is difficult, ow-
ing to the excitement, to obtain correct
details.
The excitement partially subsidized this
evening. but the situation is still regarded
as serious.
Cavalry has been ordered from Poonah
to assist in patrolling the streets, and the
volunteers have been called out.
The city is in the hands of the military.
The two members of the Shropshire Reg
iment who were killed, were walking UNI
armed. The mob battered in their skulls.
Many European officers and policemen
were severely handled and seriously in
jured.
In several instances Europeans who were
tpaversing the native section of the town
alone. were beaten and stabbed. Some
were dangerously injured.
In various parts of the city plague am
balances were seized and burned.
Attempts were made to burn the hospit-
ais, and the European nurses had narrow
escapes. Finally they were escorted to a
place of safety by ri1e troops.
The mob attacked the Jamsetjee hospital
and badly wounded DR. Gillespie, the house
surgeon. but it was repulsed by rife vol
leys. Several of the rioters were killed.
The total loss of the rioters is yet I'M
known. but the outbreak is regarded as
the most alarming that has occurred in
india I'm many years.
