INDIAN DISTURBANCES
THE KIDNAPPING OUTRAGE. Press Association— By Telegraph—Copyright. DELHI, April 20. (Received April 21, at 10.10 a.rn.) It is now clearly proved that tho abduction of Aliss Ellis by Afridis was an attempt to prevent punishment for rho outrage by which Colonel and Airs lon Ikes were murdered two years ago, in connection with which the tribesmen had been brought to book. Tho final settlement, the payment of a fine of 12,000 rupees and the surrender of rifles by tho link Jowukl tribesmen, was to have been completed on Monday. Apparently the tribesmen adopted tho desperate expedient of abducting an English woman and holding her as a hostage for the-ir own safety “and the safety of their relatives already in tho Government’s hands.—A. and N.Z. Cable. TROUBLE AT AMRITSAR. Amritsar reports that order has been restored. Business is resuming, but the city is still in the hands of tho military police. Two hundred wounded were treated in hospitals.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
