UNREST IN INDIA. A PLOT REVEALED. London, Saturday. lo view ol the early visit of the Viceroy of India (Lord Calcutta, the police in searching for the anarchist Seashankar arrested three Bengalis and seized a number of partly-finished bombs, similar to those used against the Viceroy at Delhi. The Daily Telegraph's Calcutta correspondent states that Seashankar rented the room and the three Bengalis were apparently visitors. There is alleged to have been a fully-laid anarchist plot. The arrests are considered the most important police achievement for years. The director of criminal investigaion believes that the results of the raid support the theory of a plot. The bombs were made i" Bengal, but some unknown outsiders had been engaged to throw the missiles. A search revealed four bomb cases, as well as fuses and implements to finish them. Much correspondence was also seized. The arrestß are expected to furnish a clue to the inner circle engaged in the anarchist conspiracy. THE DUBLIN STRKIE. London, Saturday. The Irish strike-leader Larkin, in a manfesto, invites the English trades unionists to compel their leaderß to terminate the warfare in Dublin. He declares that it is for the leaders to act. Though the trades unionists intended merely to salve toe sore of poverty,ill usage, long houra, and low wages, it was a radical remedy that wal wanted, and not for industrial commissioners, conciliation boards or Cabinets to chloroform the workers and persuade them to remain as dumb driven dogs. KING OF BULGARIA. RUMOURS OP ABDICATION. London, Saturday. The Venna correspondent of the Daily Mail confirms many recent rumours that King Ferdinand of Bulgaria intends to abdicate. There is great excitement in Sofia. The Heir-Apparent Boris, Prince of Tirnova, has left the capital, owing, it is believed, to threatening letters. Ferdinands' unpopularity ia increasing owing to his failure to secure Austria's support. H "To be let" placards have been posted outside the palace. NATAL'S COOLIE TROUBLE. RIOTS SUPPRESSED. Durban, Saturday. The coolies on Harrison's Estate, ten miles north of the city, began to destroy the property. The native police arreßted the ringleaders but a large body of Indians overpowered the police and rescued the prisoners. European police were then dispatched. They quelled the riot and rearrested the ringleaders. Durban is quieter, and the pro?pects of an early resumption are more hopeful. Members of the Natal Legislative Council are pressing the Union Government to refrain from collecting the 60s tax on Indians. Mr Smuts refuses to consider the proposal. Many Indians are returning to work, and the railways have a full complement. The chief trouble is now en the sugar estates. Natal papers strongly resent the comments of the British press, and declare that the allegations of flogging are a libel upon the employers. Calcutta, Saturday. The South African Committee in Bombay, in a message to the Viceroy, after referring to what is described sb "measures of cruelty and oppression to which no foreign Government dare enforce against British subjects," apprehends that if bloodshed occurs in Natal the effect on Indian sentiment will prove disastrous, the turn of events being calculated to seriously imperil faith in Britain's goodwill toward the Indian people. It beseeches the Imperial Government to exercise the veto on the South African law. 81-PLANE IN WAR. AN INTREPID SCOUT. 'i'ehuan, Saturday. While four Spanish aeroplanes were making a reconnaissai.ee at Mount Coniea, the Moors fired heavy volley. The bullets penetrated the biplane of Lieut. Rios, and Captain Barriero was wounded.

He flew at full speed to the Spanish encampment, when he volplaned to earth. Captain Barriero was then dead, while Lieut. Rios was sc-riously wounded.
