BRITISH INDIA May
BE NEAR REBELLION.
Rifles and Twenty Rounds of Cartridges
Are Served to Volunteer Sol
diers at Lahore.
LAHORE. British India. April

LAHORE, British India, April 81
Rifles and twenty rounds of ball car
tridges have been served out to the local
volunteers in consequence of signs of
marked unrest among the Hindoo student
elements. The publication of inhamma-
tory anL seditious articles in the native
newspapers, melting race hatred against
the Europeans and demanding native con
troll of the government of India by meaIt,
Of an elected parliament, has been fol
lowed recently by riots at Lahore and
elsewhere in the Punjab and by attacks
on Europeans.
Professional and political agitators are
now fOmenting strikes on the railways,
and the government has concluded that
it is time to suppress the rlOting by
foTcefuI means if necessary. The authOri-
ties are satisfied that a determined front
will speedily end the outward signs of
disatfection, especially as they have the
unanimous support of the great Moham-
medan population, who at numerous mass
meetings have emphatically condemned
the antIEWOpean movement.
Recent events have given a remarkable
impulse to enlistment in the volunteers.
The recruits include five judges of the
supreme court, the directors of public in
structIon, university professors, high gov
eminent officials, and leading bankers and
me:charts, all of whom have entered the
ranks O. the privates.
