NEw YoRK, July l3.-All quiet this
morning troops still under arms. Streets
tstill pstrolied by mounted police.
| The city appeared almost deserted last
aight. Business closed at an early hour,
and few stages were running. Few people
we're observed round the theatres. All
peacesbly disposed citizens remained at
home. Round the police headquarters,
however, was q seene of excitement and
hustle. Hundreds of police we're on hand.
There was large crowd in the essly part
Of the evening on Sth avenue, looking at the
bullet marks and evidences of the conflict.
| Pools of blood were to be seen, and blood
splaahes against the wood and boards stored
away in the area way of the Cathing estab-I
lishment, southeast corner Of 8th avenue
and 28th streets.
| The Utah House. northeast corner of 8th
avenue and 25th streets, was injured by
bullets.
On 26th street, blood Was spattered over
the basement floor of No. 260. There was
a sicksning sight in the cutters at the north
east corner of 8th avenue and z4th street
pools of blood and pieces ofsome part of the
head OF some one who had been mortally
wounded we're lying about.
1 Groups of excited aud distracted women
congrsgated at the police stations and hos
pitfalls when the lighting began, to learn the
names of the killed and wounded. Some
very painful scenes resulted on recognition
being made. At 10th precinct station, on
west 20th street, q large crowd assem- bled in
front of the entrance. The police, who were
much exhausted, and sorely in want of rest
a refreshment could scarcely make q way
for the arrival OF the dead and wounded
who Kept coming in q continuous string,
borne upon every conceivable kind Of litter
and carriage. Most of the dead are not yet
identified, IS is also the case with many of
} the wounded. The cells are filed with riot
ers taken prisoners.
The estimate of killed is about one hun
dred One hundred and fifty are under
treatment in the hospitals and many
else where.
When it is taken into consideration that
only those helpessly wounded, ana conse'
ooently taken to hospitals there, and
Il those slightly wounded slipping away and
: hiding lest it should become known that
r they had taken part in the riot.
Many of the killed and wounded were
only spectators, and quite innocent OF the
' disturbance.
, The morgue was kept quite dark to keep
people away. Just inside the Bellevue gate
stood 81 cofflns each containing dead
4 victim OF the riot; another was IN the morgue,
/ and two bodies lay waiting for eofhns.
