INDIAN UNREST.
1 ■'USTKALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION' ! REBELLION IN CENTRAL ASIA. Received This Day at 11.30 a.m.) ‘ DELHI, Jan 31. j Travellers from Central Asia bring I reports of a rebellion against the Bolsheviks north of the River Oxus. The revolt is spreading rapidly. It was formerly confined to Khiva and Ferghana provinces, where for two years Mohammedans maintained an incessant guerilla warfare. In Khiva the rebellion is practically crushed, hut Ferghana insurgents resisted, making sudden attacks and causing heavy damage, then retiring to the mountains. Owing to the lack of artillery and organisation, they are unable to eject the Bolsheviks, but kept them confined to the towns. The Soviet tried to pacify the insurgents offering autonomy, hut the ■ latter are unwilling to accept. From 1 Ferghana the rebellion has now spread south into Bokhara, where a Jehad is being preached. Bolsheviks have a troublesome problem to face, especially j as their own troops are discontented i and are deserting in large numbers. j
