SERIOUS TROUBLES OCCUR IN BURMA.
(United Press Assn.— By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received March 30, 9 a.m.) DELHI, March 29. Burma appears to have as many troubles as pagodas. Besides the rebellion, the earthquake and the recent fire at Pakokku, which rendered 2000 homeless and caused damage to the extent of forty lakhs of rupees, the Government is now called upon to deal with a definite Burman hostility towards Indians. Severe tension exists between Burmans and Indians in the Pegu district. Yesterday Burmans started burning huts and hayricks belonging to Indians. The military police shot one Burman while he was burning an Indian house.
