THE RIOT AT CORK.

THE hloi ~ ''hhs
LONDON, April lG.--Up 10 last evening
there was feeling of relief in govern
ment circles over the news from Cork,
which all tended to show that the visit
OF the Prince of Wales TO that city had
passed of quietly and had evoked an
unexpected amount Of enthusiasm.
Early in tho evening government OIL
Gals declared that the attempts OF the
Nationalist 70 organize an opposition
had resulted in failure and that the eX-
tent of the loyalist demonstration was
surprising. These declarations were
hardly uttered before the telegraph
brought accounts of rioting in various
parts OF Cork. As tho open carriage
containing the Prince of Wales was
crossing Parnell bridge some one in the
crowd
THREW AN EGG AT HIS ROYAL HIG HNEss
The missile missed It's aim, but hit one
of the tootmen behind the carriage and
the crowd cheered. During the after
noon detectives arrested rowdy who
was throwing stones at the procession.
A mob Immediately formed and at
tempted 10 rescue the prisoner. The
detective fired his revolver, but without
hitting any one aud succeeded in taking
his prisoner to the police court, where
he was promptly released on bail fur
the evening the nationalsts had meet
ing, where intlamotorv speeches were
made and the latest London newspa-
pers containing accounts of the royal
progress were
BURNED IN A BONFIRE.
Alter the mass meeting tho national
lists started througn the city in parties
numbering from 50 10 500. Doors and
windows were smashed, flags
and decorations torn down
and heaped in blazing bunfires,
and many gun stores were broken into.
Policemen, when encountered singly or
In small squads, were attacked and
beaten numerically with their own
clubs. In many cases the police rallied
and charged desperately upon the mob,
but they were invariably surrounded
and repulsed. The police then resorted
to the free uso of their revolvers and
bayonets. 1t was handto- hand lighting
of the most desperate sort, the police
standing back to back and receiving
and infiicting terrible injuries. At mid
night the streets were practically
IN POSSESSION OF THE MOB.
The policemen who remained unin-
jured could not attempt to do more than
remain in their positions and fight in
the defensive. In addition to attacks
from the crowds in the streets, the po-
lice were exposed TO murderOus

houses and other points of want
age. The belief at midnight
was that the streets could not be cleared
without the use of artillery.
At 4 a. IN. the rioting had been sur
pressed and many arrests were made,
and the hospitals were full Of wounded
police and rioters
REPORTS EXAGGERATED.
CORK, April 16.-At 2 o'clock this after
noon the streets are quiet and there Is
scarcely any trace of last nights riot.
The people dispersed rapidly shortly
after midnight. The reports of tho riot
sent out last night and early this morn
ing were greatly exaggerated. AS far
as can be ascertained up to this hour
there were only a few broken heads,
generally slight wounds aud injuries
received, but not to more than dozen
persons. The damage to buildings was
small and was confined to smashing
of windows in q number of houses. An
English reporter of London daily
paper remarked to the chief OF police
this afternoon that he never saw a more
serious riot. The chief laughed at the
reporters observation, and replied that
"the fuss last night was mere nothing
only the boys letting off little
natural eXuberance of spirits"
THEY ONLY KISSED HERE,
DUBLIN, April l6.-The royal party
arrived safely at Killarney this after
noon, and, with the exception of some
slight kissing were cordially received.
