HUMAN SACRIFICES.
BURMESE BARBARITIES. EFFORTS FOR SUPPRESSION. (Received 4.5 p.m.) Beuter. DELHI. Not. 6. The commissioner's report dealing with efforts to suppress slavery and human sacrifices in the Putao district, on the Burmese border, states that slavery has been reduced to small proportions. Those remaining are either contented or too lazy and opium-sodden to work out their redemption. The practice of human sacrifices is confined to a small area of unadministered territory in the JJaga Hills, but it flourishes there to a serious extent.
