THE MANIPUR RISING.
LIEUTENANT GRANT'S FORCES. SEVERE FIGHTING. Press Association,—Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Calcutta, April 13. The detachments under Lieutenants Grant and Presgrave have retired. The fate of the chief Senatarati, who provoked the revolt, and who was reported to have been killed during the engagement with Lieutenant Grant's detachment at Thonal, is uncertain. Three relief columns are vapidly massing at ICohina, Sitch&r, and Tatu. Lieutenant Boileau, wing officer of the 2nd Battalion of Glioorkas, who escaped from Manipur, denies the statement of the usurper Job raj, that women and .children were burned to death by the Ghoorkas. Lieutenant Grant had nine days' heavy fighting before he was relieved.
