INDIA A-TREMBLE
WITH SEDITlON.
ALARMS BRITAIN

London, Feb. 21.-At a mass meet
ing of Indus held here to protest
against the illtreatment of their fellow
countrymen in the Transvaal. several
speakers predicted that trouble was
coming in India.
The prediction will probably be full
filled.
India is rapidly marching toward
revolution. Only a disciplined army
now holds the people in check: a
breakdown of h army or any ex-
ternal shock to British authority will
bring the bureaucratic fabric of Brit
ish rule in Hindustan to the ground.
Recent went show hat England has
lost her prestige among the 300. 00O.-
900 Asiatic subjects. The natives now
adopt Il contemptuous and even mem
acing attitude toward their European
masters. The attempt to murder G. r.
Allen, IL magistrate of Decca. sent a
shock of anxiety through England.
Shortly afterward the unrest i'm
eastern Bengal eliminated in an armed
attack upon a patrol of policemen.
Riots followed the retaliatory raid of
the police on the town of Mysenmingh.
The police, say the natives. looted the
shops and beat the people. Panic has
since prevailed.
The london newspapers declare that
India is 'a-tremble with sedition.'
