Peshawar, Nov. 28.
After lingering for nearly four days, Major A. N. Rea, of the 4th Battalion of the 2nd Punjab Regiment, who was seriously wounded at Nowshera when a sepoy ran amok, succumbed to his injuries last night.
This increases the death toll to seven, four British officers and three Indians of other ranks.
The officers killed, besides Major Rea, were It. Col. E. H. Gray, commander of the battalion, Capt. R. Tyndall and Lieut. C. W. Roderick.
Another officer, Major E. Curnow, still in a serious condition in hospital.—Reuter.
