REBELS IN INDIA.

OUTBREAK OF RAIDS. ACTIVITY OF EXTREMISTS. TROUBLE WIDESPREAD. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received January 19, 5.5 p.m. Delhi, Jan. 18. Sporadic Moplah activity continues. A hundred rebels raided Puthupaddy, thirty miles from Calicut. They cut the telegraphs, bUfned a hotel, murdered four inhabitants, and damage'! the police lines. Two other large bands raided adjacent localities, dispersing the inhabitants. One gang made a stand in a temple near Wandur. Troops attacked them, killing five. An interesting political situation has developed at the resumed Bombay Conference. The chairman resigned because Mr. Gandhi refused to budge from his demands, which entailed the complete withdrawal of all Government measures and the release of all prisoners, with practically no assurances on the extremist side.

Eventually Mr. Gandhi consented to advise a postponement of civil disobedience 'till the end of the month, pending negotiations at the forthcoming round table conference.

The conference adjourned after appointing a committee to*negotiate between the Government and the extremists and other political organisations in India.

Subsequently in committee the extremists Congress sanctioned a postponement of civil disobedience, promising that if the Government withdraws all anti-ex€remist measures and releases all prisoners non-co-operators will stop hartals, picketing and civil disobedience, but not recruiting for prohibited volunteers.

Concurrently with this and showing how little power Mr. Gandhi has when once the passions of his followers are aroused, an official communique states that the prohibited volunteers have forcibly taken possession of Jhajjar Town Hall, near Rohtak. They stopped the collection of taxes arid are picketing ihe city gates. At Meerut police were pelted with bricks.

At Madras three Europeans and two Indians were sent To hospital as a result of rioting. One succumbed. At Calcutta a great extremist meeting was held, despite a prohibition, entailing numerous arrests a’nd sen-tences.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
