$50 ANGRY HINDUS
TRIED TO LAND
After Having Been Denied Admission To
Canada on the Ground That They
Were Undesirable.

Ottawa, Ont, July 20.-A report oi
the battle in Vancouver harbor early
yesterday between Canadian officials
backed by police and body OF Hindus
on the Japanese steamer komagata Maru
was received by the government officials
last night
The steamer arrived three months ago
with $50 Hindus, who claimed as British
subjects the right to land in Canada
The Canadian immigration officials re-
fused them admission on the ground that
they were undesirable persons. Several
times the Hndus attempted to reach
shore but were prevented by guard boats
on watch over the ship.
The courts sustained the position tax
en- by the government and the japanese
captain of the steamer was given until
6 o'clock Saturday afternoon to sail Tor
India with his load of Hindus.
The report as given out by the i'm
migration department states:
shortly after the captain OF the kom.
agata Maru reported that the passen-
gers prevented him from getting steam
up and asked for assistance of 100
policemen and immigration officials re-
sponded They went out to the vessel
in the largest tug available, but were
unable to gain the deck of the komagata
Mar7I In the face OF stubborn resist
ance offered by the Hindus on board.
From all parts OF the ship they hurled
down on the officers coal, iron bars,
pieces of machinery, hatchets and clubs,
injuring many men and smashing the
windows of the tug.
"Some shots were fired by the Hindus,
but the officers, although armed, in their
anxiety to avoid bloodshed did not re-
turn the fire. At 2 o'clock a. m. realiz-
ing the difficulty of reaching the deck OF
the vessel from the tug they retired,
taking with them 20 injured men, among
whom was the captain Of the tug, suffer
ing from broken ribs. Fortunately none
of the injuries are likely to prove fatal.
"Whle desirous that no unnecessary
violence shall be used, the government
is determined that the law shall without
fail be effectively and rigidly enforced,
and with this end in view have author
lied the use of the cruiser Rainbow to
effect boarding of the Komagata Maru.
II necessary to secure control and main
tain it, the Hindus viii be handcuffed,
proceeding which in view of their yio-
lent actions last night, is considered
fully justified. The government has in
structed its agents to deport the reject
ed Hindus on the steamer Empress of
Japan next Thursday if it appears that
deportation by the Komagata Maru can
not be promptly and effectively accom-
plished"
1t Is feared here that lives may be
lost before the Hindus are subdued, as
they have been virtually prisoners on
board the vessel for three months and
are in desperate frame Of mind. They
are known to have a number of rifles
and other firearms and many of them
are former Britisl,-Indian soldiers, long
trained in the use of weapons of war.

Fugitive Dictator Spends

Puerta Mexico, July 20.--General
Huerta to-day shrugged his shoulders
contemptuously at the idea that a force
OF constitutionalists known to be a
short distance from here would dare to
attack the city.
The military companions of the fugi-
tive former dictator did not display the
same degree OF confidence and an extend
ed line of outposts was maintained to-
day to prevent the constitutionalists
from approaching nearer.
Huerta continued TO pass most OF the
time in the railroad car in which he ar
rived from Mexico City. Now that the
means of getting away from Mexico
have been arranged there is marked
change in the bearing Of all the fugi-
tiyes. The ship which win carry the
women and children away is expected
to-day. but it is not thought likely that
