Four Officers Were Slain By Fanatics London, July 3.--The killing of a major, a captain, a lieutenant and a bombardier, and the wounding of a captain and a sergeant, all officers of the Kighth Indian cavalry, by two fanatical Mohammedans, who sub- sequently were shot to death, was announced last night by the British official press bureau. The statement follows: A lamentable tragedy occurred in the Eighth Cavalry of the Indian Army station at Jhansi (in the unit- ed provinces of Agra and Uudh, British India). Two Mohammedan soldiers ran amuck in the lines, shooting and killing Major M. H. L. Gale and cutting down Lieutenant Courtenay, who since has died of his wounds.

Turning toward the barracks, they fired at a sergeant and a bom- bardier, wounding slightly the for- mer and killing the latter, The inurderers were pursued and shot down by a party of men of the regiment led by .two British officers, but not before they had fired at and killed another officer, Captain Coop- er. a mn TOURIST TRAVEL HALVED Only 170,000 Americans Visited Eu- rope Last Fiscal Year, Washington, July 3.-- Fewer than 170,000 American tourists visited Europe in the fiscal year ended to- day, during eleven months of which the war has been in progress. This is the smallest number of departures for Europe in a generation. The total departures from these shores in the 1915 Ascal year, including ali- ens and those to the colors, will not exceed 540,000.

"Six months ago, a man writing | from St. Louis to vice-President Mar- shall, declared that if certain legisla- tion was not passed a bomb woul be exploded in the building. y will now endeavor to find out wheth- | er there was any connection between | that letter and this explosion." | 1 Letter Told Of Bomb. Washington, July 3.--That the ex-| plosion which wrecked 'the reception room at the Senate end of the Nat- tional Capitol last night was that of | a bomb, was conclusively proved to-| day by the Washington Times which | was in receipt of a letter mailed an hour and half before the explosion occurred, announcing that the ex- plosion would occur. | RE i Canadian Casualties. | Ottawa, July 3.--The casualties | to-day in the overseas expeditionary | force now number 9,747.
