Evans, formerly of the Royal Engineers, who arrived by the Zealandia to-day from Sydney. Brigadier Evans was thirty-four years in India, and for. fifteen years saw service in the NorthWest Frontier district. " He recently retired, and is proceeding Home by the Rangitata.. . . ■. ,
Home rule in India, he^said to a "Post" reporter, was not yet in sight, and would not be till the opposing factions could make ,up their differences.. "Certainly, not for the next fifty years," he remarked.
