ENQUIRY DEMANDED.
A CRISIS IN INDIA APPREHENDED,
PEOPLE DEEPLY MOVED.
(By C»bl».—Pim* AMOCutlen.—Ce?yTicliV.) CALCUTTA. December 4.
At a great Bengal meeting held in the Town Hall, the Maharajah oi Burdwan demanded a searching enquiry into the situation in Natal, and urged retaliation by repatriating CYery Indian. The audience was worked op *° such a pitch of emotion that the speeches were finally inaudible, t>he hysterical outbursts recalling roTiral meetings. A resolution was passed thanking tho Vicorca , for his intervention, protesting against tho restrictions . imposed on Indians in oouth Africa, and expressing indignation at the inhuman treatment of strikers.
Tho holding of similar meetings in many places suggests that unless something is done to allay tho growing excitement, a crisis may bo produced.
The Rev. Mr Milbrun, a missionary, addressing the meeting, said thero had better bo a separation betwocn England and the colonies than that the colonies should be allowed to perpetrate brutalities. The present movement meant a groat race war in the future within the Empire.
