RACIAL RIOTS.
FIGHTING IN CALCUTTA.
SITUATION NOW EASIER,
Received April 5, 11.15 a.m. CALCUTTA, April 4
Street fighting continues but the situation now seems under control. The military patrols were strengthened during the night owing to incendiarism by the rioters. The fire brigade had 75 calls.
The Mosloms made determined efforts to raid a big Hindu temple and two entered the temple. A Bengali boy cut one in twain with a sword kept in tho temple. It is impossible correctly to estimate the casualties as many did not go to hospital.
