INDIAN DENIALS. (Received this day at 11.30 a.m.) DELHI, June 6. Mahomed Ali has denied that he or his brother made speeches inciting violence ; also that they apologised to the Government or promised to refrain from repeating such statements. He suggests that Government wilfully misinterpreted the whole tenor of theii previous communication to the press. Many papers consider Ali Brothers gave an undertaking to save their own skins, but they have now seemingly gone back on their words. Government will probably take further step# to ensure a cessation of inflammatory propaganda.
