that the reg meat may reach the scene
without encouut-riug mucn resistance
as tue mob seems at this time to be

Mali streets under cover.
SCENES OF THE NIGHT.
The scenes during this memorable
night have been indescribable. No mob
could have been less equipped bv organ
izat'on or leadership, nor does it appear
that the military and police have had q
good plan or leadership. The prepare

Were all against att ,ck from Sycamore

nes.es say That almost no opposition was
made to firing the Treasures's Office
The troops all gathered i'll the jail. and
the Fire Department fer once refused to
respond to the alarm until an escort of
troops was sent. When fire engine

They obeyed while hand to hand fight
was in progress.

REGIMENT arrived at the other side of
the city, and after marching part wav
to the scene, turned and ven. back to
the depot.
HORRIBLE UNCERTAINTY.
Ii is still impossible to tell how MANY
are dead and wounded. There are nine
dea bodies in the Morgue : one is that
of Dugah, ths urniture manufacturer.
