AH ARMY RIOT.
OFFICERS AND MEN KILLED. Received this clay, 11.20 a.m. London, Tuesday. The press bureau states dissatisfaction at Promotions resulted in a riot of portion of the fifth light infantry at Singapore. It was quelled after serious rioting in which numbers of officers and men were killed. NEW ZEALANDERS KILLED. A message was received in Nelson last week by relatives that Mr. Woolcombe, his wife, and a mechanic of the Eastern Cable Company's staff at Singapore had been killed. No par- ' ticulars were allowed to transpire as to how they lost their lives, but in the light of to-day's cable respecting the mutiny at Singapore it is possible it was in the riot there. Mr. Woolcombe was an old Nelson boy, and only a few months ago married Miss Mitchic, daughter of a former Dunedin manager of the Bank of New Zealand. These particulars are now published by permission of the censor.
