AFFAIRS IN INDIA.
IMPORTANT SEIZURES. REORGANISED POLICE FORCE. HARRYING OUTLAWS. Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn. Received July IG, 11.30 a.m. DELHI, July 15. The polic*e cavalry arrested an important leader of the Babbar Akali gang, who are suspected of being concerned in two attempted murders in addition to the double murder when a revolutionary band surrounded the house of an old Government official in the Hosiarphur district, looted the place and shot the official and his brother dead. The police have also captured the famous vanishing press duplicating machine, on which revolutionary leaflets were printed. As the name indicates, it had no fixed home, but was convoyed from place to place, being deposited temporarily with members of the Babbar Akali gang or trusted sympathisers. Most of the infantry detachments have now been replaced by police and returned units, but the cavalry will remain some weeks longer pending replacement by the mounted police now being enlisted. No serious occurrence has been reported for nearly a month, the chief outlaws being badly harried by Government forces.
