GREAT NEED OF
RAIN In INDIA

London, Aug 6-The following from
the viceroy of India was received to-
day:
Considerable anxiety is felt owing
to the weakness of the monsoon. The
situation is serious and critical in Gu
jarat. Baroda and Rajputana West,
which are not sown. No fodder what
ever is available in the southwest part
of the Punjab. Sown crops are in im
minent danger as rain continues to
hold off. Fodder is scarce and cattle
are dying in the central provinces of
the Therera and Hyderbad. Good
crops are possible only in ease the
monsoon improves.
"One quarter of the inhabitants of
the central provinces are on relief. The
total number receiving relief Is 6.366,-
600, with incomplete Bombay figures"
The governor of Bombay telegraphs
that there We're S,G0T cholera cases in
the famine district during the week
ending July 21st. of which 5.OI3 re-
suited fatally. In the native states
there We're S.246 cases. o,110 proving
fatal. The total deaths in the relief

There has been good rainfall in
North Gulfarat and Kathiawar and
agricultural prospects are favorable in

what was the matter, for the men
were talking gruffiy, and there was
more than the usual noise in the car.
Accounts as to the killing of Mr.. Fay
differ. One is that he shot at one of
the bandits, who turned and shot him.
but this is not believed, notwithstand-
ing that his revolver was found
clinched in his hand. The other ac-
count Is that as soon as he put his
| head out of the berth, he started to
| get out seeing the men in the act of
robbing Mrs. Harger. 1t is said that
he was seen to be holding revolver.
Scarcely had he made n motion as if
to raise his arm before the robbcr who
was acting as guard shot him. The
bullet entered his mouth, causing Il
large wound, from which the blood
burst in a stream. Mr.. Fay fell back
in his berth. No other passenger
looked out from between the curtains
but the men fired four more shots from
their revolvers to intimidate the occu-
pants of the car.
The printed description of the men is
as follows: One man about five feet
eight inches high, slender, light nous
tache, dark clothes. old slouch black
hat: the other one five feet ten inches
high, slender. short black moustachc.

morning by the receipts of two dis
patches from naval officers at Che
Foo, repeating unofficial, but apparent
Iy reliable reports of active and extern
sive hostilities between the allied
forces and the Chinese on the line be-

patches indicate Enthusiastically that the
relief column has started in earnest,
and that it is meeting with determined
opposition. Although neither of the
naval dispatches mention the presence
of American troops in the reported en-
gagement, it is generally assumed at
the War Department that at least
part of General Chaffee's small army
was on hand and took an active and
aggressive part in the affair.
The dispatches are as follows:

of the British steamer Fame reports
