Calcutta, July 2. Despite the dec laration of the British officials that they have the situation under control and that sufficient relief . supplies have been provided to prevent any desperate suffering, reports from the Interior state that tho famine condi tlons are dally growing worse. Over a million natives are declared to be on the verge of starvation, thousands are said to have succumbed within the last few weeks and gloomy pro phesies are made that no less than 10 millions will be forced to subsist on charity or die miserably during the summer and autumn. While all of these statements cannot be verified. owing to the secrecy of the govern ment, which fuuis a widespread Insur rectionary movement, there Is little doubt that India is facing a grave crisis.
