The Insurrectien in Dalmatia Renewed. The
Influx Of Russian Jews into Austria.
VIENNA, May 13--Offieial statements
had led US to believe that the rising in
Dalmatia and the occupied provinces was
a thing of the past and great is the disap-
.pointment of all those whose relatives are
in those inhospitable districts to
find that the issue of new series of off
ecial reports has been begun, containing ac-
counts of encounters, defeats, small fights
and of wounded and dead on both sides.
Only yesterday ship arrived at Trieste
with more than fifty wounded soldiers ON
board the victims of the last encounters.
"A few days previous to these disturbances

insurgents. Probably they had kept quiet
because they were out of powder and
lead, and had watched for an opportu-
nifty of obtaining for nothing what
they lack the money to buy. The Austrian
soldiers, and even the reserves, have made
their minds up that there is no return
home for them before the autumn, and so
with rare good viii they have tried to
make the best of it. An appeal to the
gardeners and farmers of Austria for seed
and potatoes was generously responded
to, and now every regiment has its pretty
kitchen garden, tended and watched by
the soldiers, and held in high esteem even
b. the officers, who get very tired of the
monotony of canned victuals to which
they have been condemned since the
autumn. Within short time the con-
scription of recruits, the real cause of all
the disturbances, will be taken up again,
and, it is to be hoped. successfully.
The great event of the week was of
course here as elsewhere the murder of
Lord Cavendish and Mr.. Burke. Irish
doings and Irish aspirations have SO great
a similarity with Bohemian, that England
is sure to find warm sympathies in
Austria. Besides, the politics used to
pacify the rebellious provinces is the
same in ENGLAND and Austria pacifcation
and Cancellation at any price. The Aus
trian pessimists therefore consider the
Irish outrages q lesson, and loudly declaim
that Bohemia will reach similar climax
some day.
The cruel persecution of Jews in Russia
is causing Austria no slight embarrassment.
Some time has passed since the horrors of
Balta ard other cities of southern Russia
were committed and yet the victims are
still pouring across the Austrian frontier
