A postscript to the Times of _lndia has the following :  "Reports are in circulation of a military outrage of a very serious nature having occurred at Meoan Meer. A commanding officer of one of the Hill regiments stationed there is said to have been dragged from his horse and assaulted by a private of the regiment.  According to the Delhi Gazette, a very ugly rumour is going about of three officers being missing, who are said to have been murdered somewhere between Gwalior and Jhansi ; and it is said that the remains of their servants have been seen in the jungle.
