CORK, April 16.-The Prince and Princess of
Wales did not repeat their Dublin triumph in Cork.
Everything within the power of the loyasts to do
was done to make the reception success, and the
tho managers of denomination remained up most Of
the past night to make Of their arrangements.
When the Prince and Princess emerged from ths
railway station after their arrival in the city they
were greeted with cheer after cheer. During their
progress in the parade crowd of men and boys
ran alongside their carriage and kept cheering 10
drown the Kisses of Nationaists who lined the
route and made continual hostile demonstrations.
The conduct of the Leaguers aroused the Loyalists
| to high pitch of enthusiasm. and they made the
| streets echo with shouts of welcome The wonder
is there was violent breach of the peace during
the al progress for it proceeded amid continued
warfare words aud taunts between the LoyalistH
and NatOnalists whose numbers were about equally
divided. 1t is thought that the presence OF the
Princess and ber ladylike grcionsness TO the pee
pie along the streets was the element that COR
quered the Irish galantry. j. OConnor, National.
list member of Parliament, marched at the head OF
procession of Leaguers, who closely followed the
royal procession and sang "God save Ireland -
every time the Loyalists their bands started up
"God save the Queen"

Nationalist threw vegetable at the royal carriage.
Il narrowly missed the Princess and struck one Of
the footmen with considerable force. Many stones
were also thrown by roughs at the people who fol-
lowed and cheered the royal carriage, and the
police several times fired at roughs. No injuries
are reported.
Early in the evening the Nationsllsts held mass
meeting where infammatory speeches were made
and the latest London newspapers containing ac-
counts of the Royal progress were burned IN bon
fire. After the meeting Nationalists scattered
through the city in parties numbering from 30 to
900. Doors and windows were smashed, flags aud
decorations torn down and heaped on blazing bon
tires, and many gun stores were broken into tor
arms: Policemen were attacked and beaten un-
mercifully.
In many cases the police rallied and charged des-
peratey on the mob, but we're invariably surround
ed and repulsed. Tho police then resorted to the
Tree use or their reVOlV0rS DSVOletS and 1t
hand TO haEd fighting of the most desperate sort.
They stood back to back, receiving and inhictiDg
terrible injuries. at midnight the streets weto
practically in possession of the mob, and the police
men who remained uninjured could not attempt to
do more than maintain their positions and fight on
the defensive. In addition to attacks from the
crowds in the streets, the police were exposed to
murderou5 R0lleys of stones from windows and
housetops. The belief at midnight was that the
streets could not be cleared without the use Of
artillery.
