Cincinnati, O., April 1.-The morning
has been free from any incident indicating
any change Ia the situation. The proposed
relief of the militia by civil force cannot
be put into operation speedily, II at all as
the selection of suitable men and their
equipment must take time The militia
still keep the streets bsrricaded as strong
Nv m ever, not even allowing the Mt. Au.
burn line of street cars whose track runs
distance of two squares within the lines
to pass through. As to the state OF public
feeling it cannot be said that the original
impulse that actuated the men In taxing
part i'm the demonstration Saturday night
has been removed or lessened by the pres
ence of the military. On the contrary the
+ events of Friday and Saturday nights have
given rise to a new feeling, that OF
INDIGNATION AGAINST THE MILITIA.
OnIy the helpIessness of a conflict with
this powerfully armed force prevents an
attack upon it. The newspapers usually
conservative in tone, speak with great
freedom to-day on the situation as ii now
il. The Volksblstt German says the call
ing of the militia on..Friday night can only
be characterized as grave mistake.
ouR MILITIA KNOW AND CAN DO NOTHING
else it appears but shooting. If reliance
had been PLACED on the police force, order
might probably have been restored without
loss of life. The Free Press German says
the Indignation of the people is on the in
crease on account of the rough and wholly
urprovoked shooting upon peaceful clti-
,sns and upon women and children ard
that increase of indignation is becoming
more and more fearful. 1t may be declared
upon too reasonable grounds that the
SHEDDING OF BLOOD Is NOT YET ENDED,
but will begin afresh. 1t blames Sheriff
Hawkins Mayor Stephens and Governor
Hoadley, the first two for mlsmanagement
and the latter for not coming here to see
for himself what the situation required.
The Commercial-Gazette,i 10 an editorial
to-day upon the situation, speaks In the
strongest possible terms of condemnation
of Sheriff Hawkins for calling on the
militia and takes an account OF the sal
wage from the three days terror. The re-
suit it declares to be the saving OF jail
full of murderers. 1t adds
THE REIGN OF Law AND ORDER
is restored in Cincinnati, that law and or
der which makes murder the safest trade
and which has made impotent the admin
istratiou of law against crimes OF atrocity.
OPINION OF THE LONDON TIMES.
London. April 1.-The Times comment
ing upon the Cincinnati riots, says that oc
currences like this must give the statesmen
of that vast and growing republic food Tor
reflection. One way to lessen the difficulty
of preserving order is to secure decent
administration of justice where bossism
and criminal lawyers no longer have
things so much their own way.
Capt Foellger, who commanded the
detachment of militia which fred the first
shots, has published q card denying the
statement that he ordered his men TO fire.
He says Sheriff Hawkins gave the order in
the words,
''GIvE 1T TO EN-, BOYS; FIRE"
and in the excitement [ could not stop
them, so cried ''For Christ's sake, boys,
fire high :" Nv men never would have
fired If it had not been that four OF them
were wounded with stones and shots from
the crowd and they shot on the sheriff :
