THE MANIPUR MASSACRE.
(PEB PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Reoeived May 16 th, 11.15 a.m. Calcutta, May 15.
The Manipuris who were tried for the murder of Commissioner Quinton, Lieutenants Skene and Simpson, and Mr Cosains, have been sentenced to be beheaded by the publio executioner. Reoeived May 17th, 6 p.m. London, May 16. Despatches received respecting the Manipur revolt show that Mr Quinton intended arresting the chief Senapulty in the open Durbar, and leave a Regent on the throne. Many newspapers denounce the action as treacherous, and blame Mr Quinton and the Marquis of Lansdowne for it. The papers also condemn the inadequate force sent to Manipur.
