DELHI, 6th December. The Burmese Government has received information that a member of. a former Royal Family, a refugee in China, is collecting men and .ammunition in the Chinese Shan States., with a view to raiding Burma and fostering rebellion among the Kachins. On 4th December, at Tienhouii!T, a post of fifty military police was attached by forty Chinese Shims. The attack was repulsed, the enemy leaving live dead. The Kachin villagers are reported to be loyal, and there is no reason to expect, any widespread trouble. Later news is that- all is quiet. The failure of the first attack apparently damped the enemy's iirdiiu'.
