HUMAN SACRIFICES IN

ASSAM

ASTOUNDING CONDITIONS.

The report on the dfforts made by tho Government to suppress slavery and human sacrifice in the Naga Hills shows, according to Mr. Clayton, who was re cently Commissioner on the north-east ern frontier of Burma, that last year there were slaves in Ekamptu, as compared with 373 in the previous year. The reduction was mainly due to releases of slaves. Several eases have been re ported of Indians being enticed by Nagas to work as blacksmiths and being seized and sold into slavery in Hukong valley, but only seven Indian slaves were found, of whom three were released, the others being content with their lot. An Indian man and a girl set apart for sacrifice by the Nagas were released.
