The Trouble in Burmah.
The British troops are pursuing the rebel Senaputty. The bodies of the British officers massacred on the outbreak of the revolt in Munipur have been exhumed and reburied with funeral serrices. The Munipuries state that the chief Senaputty, after a Durbar, signalled the massacre of the British. Mr Grimwood the British resident at Munipur, was stabbed in the back and then beheaded. Mr Quinton, Chief Commissioner of Assam, Lieutenant Colonel Skene, and the buglers were beheaded.
