RAMPANT DISORDERS
BURMESE & INDIANS FIGHTING IN RANGOON LIST OF CASUALTIES STILL MOUNTING. EFFORTS TO PROTECT WOMEN AND CHILDREN. (Recd This Day, 12.5 p.m.) RANGOON, July 29. A fourth ..night of terror has been intensified by the knowledge that 45 dead and 300 injured have paid the penalty of rioting. Casualties are still mounting, because the streets are filled with armed Burmans and Indians, who spontaneously fight except when police patrols are passing. Terror-stricken Burmese and Indian women and children, evacuated from the danger areas, are being sheltered near the police stations, but rioting and murderous assaults continue in the quarters which they have left, despite the strenuous efforts of British and native police to suppress the disorders. MANY REFUGEES. ESCORTED TO SAFETY BY POLICE. (Recd This Day, 11.50 a.m.) RANGOON, July 29. The casualties are 48 dead and 350 injured. The police are escorting busloads of terror-stricken people from the danger zones. British troops, with drawn bayonets, protect all critical points.
