A despatch from London says: Friday wa.s llie 50th anniversary of the out- break of the Indian .Mutiny, which began ill .Meerut on May 10, 1857. The coinci- dence is s.-jniewlial alarming. The news from India, which dominales Friday morning's newspapers with this suisler jubilee, increa.sos the anxieties which the present happenings in the Indian Empire awaken here. That Sir Denzil Ibbetsoji, Lieutenant-Governor of Ihe Pi.njab. whom Chief Secretary Marloy Ihe oilier day described in the House of Oimmons as one of Ihe ablest and mosl experienced administrators in India, should have summoned big mililary le.- inforceiiienls to Lahore and postponed his own departure from thai city, is re- garded as adding lo the gravity of Ihe situation. The India Ollice has issued nothing on the situation, allhough il is undei-slood il is in constant communi- calion with the Viceroy. Pending some ollicial declaration the" newspapers com- ment sparingly, but print their owTi and the news agencies' news conspicuously. Such comments as printed call for firm action by the Government. .Some recent statemetits in the House of Commons by Mr. Morley and his ap- proval of Ihe deporlalion of Lala Lajpat Mai betray nn sign thai he is disposed to underestimate the possibilities of the situation.

A despalch from Belleville says: At â- n early h<iur on Sunday morning the large stone ili>,lillery and grist mill ef <lic II. txnby Cxiiiipany was reduced by tire lo a mass <it siiioulderiiig ruins.

Ncvcrtheloss, ils failure fo check the se- dilious ni<ivemenl promptly has, it '3 added, resulted in a stale of revolt. Thousnnd.s of Dacoils, consisting of Iwth Hindus and Mohammedans, are r<jnni- iiig in the Myinen Singh district, plun- dering and burning villages, and ill- treating loyal natives, many of wiioii? have been murdered. .\I.\NV AGIT.VTORS ARRESTED. Thirty-seven ugilalors have been ar- rested by the mililary police, who are hying to' stamp out the movenien.t. The despatch further says that seditious lit- eralure has been spread broadcast through Euslmi Bengal, and that the noting at Hawal Pindi has been distorted into a triumph of the natives against the British. lx)yal natives of the better class are writing to the newspapers and aulliori- ties. urging the necessity for prompt nieusures. Tliey declare that the anti- European nioveincnl has gained im- iiien.se strength in Bengal since H\e re- signalioii of Iho late Lieutenant-Gover- nor, Sir Baiiipfylde Fuller, who was f.irced to relinquish his post because he tne<t to suppress the present agitation in the native schools. The parlioipalion of Mohammedans in Ihe Myineii Singh outrages shows clear- ly Ihnt Ihe nioveinent is directed against British rule instead of being a fight be- tween Hindus and Moslems, as was at first supposed. In a few minutes the entire premises were a mass <i[ liames.
