Famine Ituuv In India.
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.
