THE CITY WILDLY EXCITED.

A HAND-BILL URGING VIGILANCE COMMITTEES
lBY TELEGRAPH 70 THE TRIBUNE
CINCINNATI, March 29.-The riot last night
proves to have been serious affair Five men were
killed and forty-eight were more less seriously
injured, and the county jail presents a spectacle
of devastation. At sunrise the jail yards were
covered with debris, and piles of burning embers
scattered about. The rear portion of
the building, in which was located tho
engine house, at which point the mob had concen-
traed its attack after the repuse from the JAIL was
still burning fercey but the flames had expended
their fury and were rapidly dying out. The
entire front extension of the Jail was bat
tered as though with a gigantic ram.
The windows were all broken; the
iron sashes and frames being shattered to atoms.
The heavy exterior doors, which were of the most
substantial character, all battered up. After
the would-be lynchers had succeeded in obtaining
possession of the Jail Office they vented their fury
IN the destruction of every article in the
Office.
BAD WOUNDS INFLICTED BY THE MILITIA.
The greatest casualties occurred when tho
mob rolled into the entrance three
barrels of coal OIL, and the militia
charged the crowd, firing into the mob as il re-
treated The killed were as follows: Joseph
Steam, patrol officer; Henry Keats, laborer;
lony" Breedensteen paperhaDger; John Hughes,
plate cutter; Phil Nunne, policeman. About
ffty-eight persons were wounded, the majority
seriously, perhaps fatally, as the wounds inflicted
10y the musket balls in the hands of the militia were
horrible. The wounded are well cared for. Among
those wounded in the last melee was a son of Con-
gresham Bright, of Virginia, who, it ls said, ran
away from home He is seriously injured, but
bears it herocally.

OPPOSITION TO CAVALRY EXPEDITION FROM
sUAKIN-FEARs FOR GENERAL GORDON.
LONDON, March 29.--Despite the strong pressure
exeIted by the Jingo section Of the Radicals the
Government have determined to adhere to Their
decision not TO attempt TO send a cavalry eXgedi-
tion from Suakm to Berber. Military operations
along the Nile and upon the Red Sea littoral will
remain suspended until October, when it will be
possible for English troops 10 march into the nte
riOr. Daring the burning heat of the spring and
summer months, military authorities assert that an
expedition would be altogether impracticable if not
impossible. Additional weight is lent TO this opn-
ion by the disastrous effect of the heat upon General
Grahams troops in their last march to Tamanieb.
