EFFORTS TO COMPROMISE.

QUEBEc, August lG. All quiet in the city
during the night, except some pistol shots oc-
casionally fired. The troops are still in the
barracks.
At noon fighting was resumed by the
French attacking Champlain street from the
heights. The attacking party is said to be in
large numbers and well armed
Rumors are current that during the night
a number of st. Sauveur people made a raid
upon the armorv ut Losette, and robbed it of
its contents. The military authorities unable
to confirm the report, but it is certain that
the beligerents on either side are well armed.
\ carter named Trudel has been knocked
down in Champain street. by steel knuckles
AID seriously cut about the face.
The houses in Champlain street are all
provided to-day with stones and other missiles
ON every Hat, and death will surely be mcted
out To any attacking party which essays to
proceed up the coves.
Cannon still remain planted across the
street. b battery, Sth battery and cavalry
remain under arms in case of emergency.
The report is current that one lgnacc For
tier was shot dead at the coves, but the story
Is not confirmed.
\ feeble old man named Crowley was beat
en- nearly to death this afternoon by three
men, at Cape Blanc.
DIR. Allcyn has made post norton on the
body OF Giroux. and finds that death resulted
from wounds caused by boat-hooks and
stones. not by bullet. He has also dressed
Crowley wounds and thinks it quite unlike
~ he will recover.
In st. Roche several eases of brutal assault
are reported, and the people there stopped
the running of street cars, because the Eng
lish speaking employees are engaged by the
company
young man named Brown is reported to
have been badly beaten in ST. Rochs.
In order to render the reports of the riot
more Ineligible, it may be safe to state that
the first part of Champlain street leading up
to the Goes from the city, is inhabited prin-
cipally by Irish. and higher up, toward the
battery, portion of the street Cape Bance,
known as the French district. St. Rochs and
st. Sauvcur are also principally French dis
tricts, and the Montreal Ward Irish and
French.
Our evening papers estimate the expense
to the city by the riot at over $50, 900 exclus-
i've of the commercial loss which must ensue.
Individual riotng and assaults at Cape Blanc
co tinuc at intervals, but there is not now
much apprehension of another stand-up fight.
The 9th battalion, which is called out, is
principally French Canadians, and has been
deprived of its arms.

is called for tonight, Oh Priests wharf, and
will be addressed by Messrs. Owen Murphy,

The Situation.

HAVANA, August lG. The German steam
er from Vera Cruz brings the following in
telligcncc:
CRY OF MEXICO, August 10.
1t is now understood that the reason for the
expulsion of Senior Llanos Alcaras, editor of
the Spanish paper Calonie Espanola, was
that he was guilty of visiting the garrison Of
the city and offering money to the men to
pronounce against the government. The
penalty for the offence is death, but President
Daz merely banished Alcaras.
The opposition papers criticise unfavorably
the recent events at Vera Cruz, and complain
of the arbitrary conduct of the Governor.
1t is said that Francisco Lande, a citizen
who feared his life was in danger, took refuge
in the American Consulate there, and receiv-
ed protection.
The notorious Guerilla DominullerO, has
been captured and shot.
Figurcrcro. the famous leader of the pro-
nuncados in Vera Cruz, was overtaken with
four armed followers and second officer,
and were all shot. The old law, provid-
ing for the immediate execution of all
parties caught in arms, whether under pre-
text of revolution or otherwise, has been
drawn out of oblivion by President Diaz, and
he fulfls its text in spite of all outsiders.
