| THE THIRD BURMESE WAR. The British (Oct. 22) sent an ultimatum demanding that Thibaw receive a British envoy and that his interference with trade be stopped; furthermore, it stated that in the future the foreign relations of Burma would be conducted in accordance with the advice of the Indian government.
