(United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.)
(Received this day at 9.25 a.mi CALCUTTA, May 18
A curfew order, and the presence of British troops, armoured cars and constant police patrolling, had a salutary effect in Bombay yesterday, and the night was unevent.'ul, but there was a revival of lawlessness this morning.
Four persons were killed and fifty injured, making a total of eighty dead and 870 injured.
Hindu and Moslem crowds again clashed in several localities, the police and troops firing on hooligans. The streets were littered with riot debris. One hundred gas lamps were broken.
