[31] The official medical report of this campaign gives a deplorable account of the sufferings of the wounded, and the gangrene which affected the wounds in consequence of the extremely insanitary condition of the Naga villages and stockades, where the Naga warriors had been congregated for weeks expecting the attack--an additional reason why the immediate pursuit into their strongholds which Colonel Johnstone had recommended after the relief of Kohima should have been carried out--failing the acceptance of the harsh terms of peace. See ante.--Ed. [32] This was the road along which Colonel Johnstone had marched to relieve Kohima. The old route from the capital of Manipur to Cachar was easy enough in comparison.--Ed. [33] All wars rest in winter. [34] Chief Court. [35] Major Edward Dun died on the 5th of June, 1895.--Ed. [36] Known as Regent during the recent troubles. [37] "The Senaputtee seemed determined to wipe away all signs of British connection with the State. Not only were the charred remains of the Residency still further demolished, but every building in the neighbourhood, and the very walls of the compound and garden were levelled, and the graves of British officers were desecrated. The Kang-joop-kool Sanatorium, twelve miles from the capital, built by Sir J. Johnstone, was burnt, and his child's grave dug up."--Times' telegram, May 3, 1891.--Ed. It appears by the official correspondence that the Senaputtee sent seven Manipur sepahis to open the child's grave, and scatter the remains, out of spite to Sir J. Johnstone, whom he knew had wished him to be banished, and who (on account of the Senaputtee's exceptionally bad character) would never admit him into the Residency. For this act the British military authorities had the sepahis flogged.--Nos. 1-11, East India (Manipur) Blue Books.--Ed. [38] "Oh! for a moment of Colonel Johnstone's presence at such a crisis," wrote a British official from Manipur, to the Pioneer, in 1891. "One strong word with the ominous raising of the forefinger, would have paralyzed the treacherous rebel Koireng (Senaputtee) from perpetrating this outrage."--Ed. [39] Major Trotter. He received wounds from an ambuscade, and died of their effects, July, 1886.--Ed.
