It is probable that fresh camps will be opened up in the country to relieve the congestion. Brief engagements occur daily, the rebels suffering heavy casualties. They are still engaged in murdering, ;plundering, and cutting telegraph wires. The military are establishing wireless communication between the chief centres. Thousands of people of all evades in Calicut submitted a petition to the Viceroy for an extensive campaign in saying that the military are insufficient and punishments inadequate. After the ; rebellion is quelled the petitioners hope sufficient forces will be stationed in Malabar to prevent a recurrence of the trouble. They fear revengeful reprisals when the imprisoned Moplahs ire turn. Nearly 3000 have been sentenced to terms of imprisonment.
