A native friend who has just come in from Sungpu reports that he saw the bodies on Sunday evening, still lying where they fell, stark naked and without even the mat with which they were credited yesterday. He says they were swollen to imsense size, and no one was paying them yy attention, nor had the native authorities up to that date taken the slightest notice vf the matter. I have no doubt but this is a perfectly true statement, and probably would be found to be true of this very moment. We live in serious times all these things mean much.
