Bombay Situation.

Bombay, May 27. The situation in Bhendi Bazaar is now normal. The origin of the trouble is cxplained by a com- munique etating that a European Police sergeant vigorously remon- strated with a Mahommedan for cruelly beating a dog with a loaded

stick.

The incident occurred near the Palice officer's quarters. The Mahommedan refused to desist and the officer struck him with his fist. The man then made off and brought back his associates, who assaulted the Sergeant.

The latter escaped in a motor car | and his assailants then began to stone the Police Station-Reuter.
