BRITISH TROOPS ACTIVE. EXCELLENT PROGRESS MADE. REBELS HARD PRESSED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. DELHI, December 2. It is officially reported that the troops have' made excellent progress in the Kottakkal, Manaarghai, and Caliceat areas. The enemy has been broken up and many have surrendered. It is reported that half the trouble is now caused by local criminals. A small detachment of 'Ghurkas killed four and wounded. three, and the police captured 13. At Tanur the large rebel concentration ■which was rumoured lately has not materialised. The rebels have fled to the hills or have passed through our lines. The spasmodic murders and looting do not affect the main issue, but are causing alarm and are preventing the restoration of public confidence. It is officially stated to-day that the special police killed 20 rebels. The Suflolk Regiment is establishing signal stations. The rebels are moving from the east to the west, their reported object being to say prayers at Tanururam prior to making a final stand. Confirmation of this report is awaited.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
