LAWLESSNESS IN INDIA.
DELHI, March 21 (Received March 22, at 1.20 p.m.)
In consequence of the intimidation and violence offered to Government servants and loyalists during tho Royal visit, and tho subsequent hostility, there have been many arrests in Peshawar City, with a view to checking tho spread of lawlessness. As it is impossible,. to protect tho Government servants in Peshawar City, tho post and telegraph offices have been closed. Sympathisers demonstrated during tho arrests and stoned tho police, who had recourse to frequent baton charges. It transpires that intimidation by agitators caused tho closing of all shops for two days during tho Royal visit, and prevented numerous people seeing tho festivities. Tho agitators jeered and cursed the loyalists, destroyed their shops, and tore down the decorations. There was widespread molestation, particularly of service pensioners.—A. aIW iS.Z. Cable.
