OTTAWA, ONT, August 13.-About mid
night gang OF about two hundred Union
men made tour through the lower town,
insulting every one they met and yelling like
demons. Several Britons were assaulted,
among them young man named Gevin, who
was badly beaten. About the same time the
Ottawa Young Britons returned from Chan
deree junction, and on learning of this pro-
ceeded In body TO the lower town, armed
with revolvers. At the corner of Sussex and
York streets they were met by number of
Union men, who made some insulting re-
marks, at which the Britons opened fire on
them, but injured none of the crowd. A
quiet, inoffensive old man, named Giles, a
Protestant, got stray shot In the leg, and
another man, named Marks, was wounded In
the arm. When about one hundred shots
bad been fired, the Britons marched down st.
Patrick street IN a body, shouting and boot
ing like demons, and keeping up a continual
fire. Here they reached the Villeneuve house,
where dance was in progress, shooting sew
eral parties and beating others with sticks
and stones. Father Moloy's home was also
attacked and the windows broken, but none
OF the inmates were injured. Larocque's no.
tel was next demolished, the proprietor beng
struck with stone and severely cut IN the
forehead. The crowd then marched up Dali
housie street, where ether parties were shot
and wounded with stones. The police fol-
lowed them from the start, and made several
arrests, but did not succeed in breaking up
the gang until they reached the corner of
George street.
The wounded are as follows: Policeman
M'Kerna, shot in the leg; Kelly, fractured
skull; P. Conway, brutally beaten; North
wick, shot in the arm; Taylor, shot in the
head; Giles, shot in the leg; Larocque, cut
over the right temple; Marks, shot in the
arm; a man named Williamson had his hat
riided with bullets; Christian, in the arm.
Several other persons were shot, but their
names have not been ascertained. With the
exception of Kelly's, none of the wounds are
considered dangerous. The arrests made are

ROGUE Isidor Larocque, William Laubourn
and Thomas Campbell. Three Of them are
Orange Young Britons, and three Union.
Thomas Birch, q Union man, being shot In
the forehead and pressed by the Britons, took
refuge in the bishops palace, which was
stoned, one of the missiles striking Father
the Union men attacked with stones Briton
named Mooney ON st. Patrick street. La
ROGUE, sixty years of age, was struck in the
face with stone. A number of Montreal
Britons are in town. The parties arrested
last night we're before the police magistrate
to-day, and remauded until Monday. An
attempt to renew the disturbance to-day was
speedily stopped ty the police.
The streets were crowded tonight and
much excitement prevailed, which the occa-
slonal discharge of a revolver only increased.
Fully one thousand Orange Young Britons
and Orangemen gathered in their hall, re-
solved to escort their visiting Montreal
brethren to the train. An equal number of
their opponents were at the Catholic Union
hall, as firmly resolved to prevent the march.
The mayor and leading Orangemen endeav-
ored to persuade the Young Britons to leave
by the Chandlere station, but without avail.
Finally the railway authorities sent word to
the Britons that they would not allow the
Montreal delegation to board the train at the
lower depot, unless the order became respon-
sible for any damage that might result. The
Montreal men then agreed to embark at
Chandiere station, and at fifteen minutes
past ten left the Windsor in an omnibus,
while a salute was being fred, and cheers
given by the excited crowd, which the police
was endeavoring to dlsper8e
Trouble with Mexico Looked For.
Washington special to the New York
World: The cabinet meeting to-day occu-
pied over two hours, most of the time being
occupied In discussing the Mexican border
question. 1t IS evident that the officers In
the department of Texas think that coils
ion with Mexican troops Is not far distant
event. At the last meeting of the cabinet
the secretary of war announced the receipt
of dispatches from the Rio Grande, saying
that bands Of armed men were organizing
under the protection OF DlaZ troops In nearly
every Mexican village On the border for the
purpose Of repeating the Invaders" as
American troops in pursuit of cattle thieves
and murderers are called. To-day Secretary
NJ Crary said that he had received letters
from various officers on the Rio Grande ask
ing what line of action they should pursue If
their entry into Mexico In pursuit OF raiders
should be disputed by an armed mob or reg
ular troops. Only few weeks ago the Pres
ldent repeated his previous instructions to
General Ord to follow fresh trail of raiders
into Mexico if the offenders could not be
caught and punished on this side of the river
The general opinion in cabinet discussion to-
day was that If body Of American troops
should attack company of armed Mex!csins
on Mexican soil, drawn up to prevent inva-
sion, war would Immediately follow. At the
same time the cabinet was agreed that some
thing must be done at all hazards to protect
the lives and property of American citizens
on the Texas frontier. Instructions will be
given lie officers on the Rio Grande to pur-
sue rlsders according to department orders.
If troops OF armed men oppose them on Mex
lean soil, the officers will withdraw their
commands to the north side of the river and
report the facts to the government immedi-
ately.
