Plague Statistics.

The plague-deaths in the week ending last

Saturday were 4.427 against 4157 previous seven days;-in Poona City 607,, a 'reduction of 258; Belgaum District 619, an In- crease of 57; Satara District 416, an increase of 170; Kholapur State 635, an increase of 68. The figures for the rest of India show no ap- preciable change in mortality.

Why the Dum Dum. is Discarded.

SILLA, September 19th.

It is quite true that only Mask 11 ammunition is to be supplied for the use of the troops going to South Africa.

The idea seems to be that, as shooting of the Mark 11 bullet at long ranges is slightly better than that of the Duni-Dum, it is a more suit-

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S RECEPTIONnary Officer, l'unjabs,

IN AMERICA.

Admiral Dewey was timed to amive in New York on the morning of a8th September. Great preparations are being made for his reception. A remarkable piece of newspaper enterprise is the greeting the New York World has arranged for the Admiral. The World has sent tele- grams of over thirty words each to fifteen American consuls, making a circult of the world, asking them to telegraph some sentiment of over fifteen words regarding Dewey's arrival, The object of the sentiments being called for from fifteen consuls is to represent the fifteen guns in the Admiral's-ialute.

RIVAL STEAMSHIP LINES.

Major Whson, 2nd Royal Irish, is permited to retire.

-Rutions for Native Troops.-

SIMLA, September 20th. The troops and followers in Chitral, Tochi, and Wano are to give six months' trial-from January to July next-to the improved scale of field service rations recommended by the committee which assemble at Mian Mir in February, 1897, with a view to ascertaining whether its introduction for the Native Army generally would be desirable.
