Slight Improvement in Situation

Communal feeling is dying down and there was no trouble last night. The city is quiet this morning.

To-day's hospital returns show an increase of ten in the number of dead and an increase of 46 in the wounded.

According to previous reports 320 casualties were being treated in hospital and 420 as outpatients. The dead numbered between 50 and 60.

The military police were compelled to fire this evening on a Party of Indian Moslems who held up a tram-car, assaulted the Burman passengers and stoned the military police when the latter appeared on the scene. Two persons were killed.
