The Budapest correspondent of “The Times” states that the American, Captain Kellen, temporarily residing in Nagyvarad, was reportedly walking in the street in uniform, when he saw rioting students tear down and trample on a Union Jack, which a British trader had erected to protect his shop. Kellen remonstrated and attempted to prevent the outrage and rescue the flag. The students immediately attacked him, beating and knifing him and tearing off his uniform. Tho American Minister has seriously protested to the Government.—“ The Times. ’ ’ UNRELIABLE REPORTS. LONDON, Tuesday. With reference to the alarmist reports of terrorism in Transylvania by Roumanian students and anti-Hungar-ians, the “Daily Telegraph’s” diplomatic correspondent says undoubtedly the usual attempt is being made from Vienna and from Budapest .'to create prejudice against Roumania. This does not imply that serious happenings have not occurred, but unofficial information concerning Roumania from neighbouring States is notoriously untrustworthy.
