INDIAN UNREST.
THE CHAURICHAURA TRAGEDY. GANDHI’S PENANCE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Delhi, Feb. 14. Gandhi announces that he began a five days’ fast on Sunday as a xcnance for the Chaurichaura tragedy. He regards the fast as a punishment for those who committed the brutal murders, which no amount of provocation can possibly justify. Gandhi advises the criminals voluntarily to surrender to the authorities and to confess the crimes. He says he regards the Chaurichaura tragedy as the third warning of God against hasty embarkation on mass civil disobedience, and his bitterest cup of humiliation. Ostracism, even death, is preferable to any countenancing of untruth or violence.
