Calcutta, J uly 6.— In the fighting which took place yesterday in a suburb ! of Chilpore, between the police and rioters, many policemen were injureil. Twenty-four native policemen were sur rounded by a mob and so roughly han dled that all of them are expected to die of their injuries. The rioters suf- ¡ fered heavily, but they carried off their dead and wounded. A compromise on the plague meas ures having lasen arranged between the authorities and the rioters, the disturb ances have ceaseil. The absence of rain is causing the greatest anxiety throughout India. The rioting arose out of the growing practice of the Mohammeilans of seiz ing and refusing to pay rent for oertain so-called mosques, built, contrary to the tenets of the Mohammedan religion, on ground belonging to infidels. The demolition of a mud hut, a so-called mosque, let! to the outbreak. The riot ers were continually reinforced in re sponse to telegrams sent up the country appealing to all true Mohammedans to come to the aid of their coreligionists. F o r 48 hours, the police and m ilitary were repeatedly obliged to clear the streets. Detached parties of M oham medans stoned Europeans whereever they found them, in some cases drag ging them from their glarries. A ll the telegraphic lines were cut and the buildings containing Europeans were besieged. There were many nar row escapes. The rioters sounded war cries, shouted vile epithets and grossly insulted the European women. In sev eral parts of Calcutta, it is still danger ous for Europeans to go about, and it is likely to remain so, owing to the na ture of the compromises by which the riot was brough to an end. The trouble is greatly increased by the absence of the higher officials, most of whom are now in the hills. Those who remaine«! behind hesitateil to un dertake the responsibility of extreme measures. The result was that the troops were not allowed to fire or to take the offensive, and even when ex posed to every kin«l of indignity and insult, their behavior and self-restraint under the circumstances were adm ira ble. It is understood that the compromise is based u|>on the unconditional surren der ot the lands, tu t it is believe«! that this concession w ill prove a standing menace to the safety of every Euro pean, as the rioters will celebrate the victory throughout all India. In spite of the cessation of the riots, the situation is regarde«l as extremely grave, and it is felt that unless some official is invest«*! with plenary pow ers daring the absence of the governing authorities, European citizens w ill he compelled to act on their own respon sibility.

SET Am erican Sentence on th e Prisoner«. N ew York, July 5.— A Herald dis patch from Havana says: The trial of the Competitor crew did not take place on July 1, as had been reported. It may not take place for several months yet, unless the United States presses the matter. The authorities here hes itated to bring the men to trial for dip lomatic reasons. They realized the fact that if the law sof Spain mean any thing, and are not to be brought into disrepute, the sentence of the Compet itor filibusters muBt be a severe one. On the other hand Spain does not de sire to aggravate any hostile feeling that may already exist in the United States against her. It was just about the middle of June that Consul-General Lee, by direction of his government, pressed here for an earlv tiral. He pointed out that a long delav had already taken place and de clared it unjust. To the consul’s letter General W eyler sent a most indefinite reply. He began by excusing the past delay on the ground that proceedings on the part of the prosecution had con sumed much time, and now, he said, the lawyers who had been assigned to the prisoners had been given until the end of July to prepare the defense. In conclusion he stated that it was “ im possible to say when the trial would he brought on.” This means that it has been thought best to delay the trial in definitely. In the meantime the Competitor crew are languishing in prison. Some of them cannot stand the confinement much longer. They are not treated badly, so far as Spanish treatment of prisoners in Cuba goes. Americans oannot realize what the confinement in Cabanas during these hot months means.
