The Belgian Rioters.

BRUSSELS, March 29.-RiOters last night
attacked and burned a pottery manufactory
at Bandour, near Mono. They succeeded in
resisting the gendarmes, who, however,
shot and killed three of the rioters. The
citizens OF FleuruS seven miles northwest
OF CharlerOi, have armed themselves with
pitchfOrks, clubs and guns, and have thus
far succeeded i'll defending the city from
pillage. They drove one army of rioters
away by main force, dispensing it utterly.
Vigilance committees are being formed by
the citizens i'll other places threatened by
the strikers.
CHARLERoI. March 29.-This city to-
day is vast military camp, from which
flying columns are operating in all direc-
tions. IL is believed ROW that the worst is
over. The government has authorized the
peaceful inhabitants of the city to arm
themselves and to use every means in their
power to defend their domiciles. There is
more confident feeling. The civilian pa
trolls and tile troops are Oyermastering the
rioters. The miners in the FIenn and
Berlnage districts have gone out on a
strike, and have destroyed the residence
OF the mine manager by dynamite. In
these districts there have already been sew
eral conflicts between the strikers and the
troops, and many have been killed on both
sides. ReinfOrcementS have been sent to
the scene from Mono.

which many persons were wounded The
strikers are spreading in the coal mining
district of BOunage and the authorities
there fear trouble. The miners in that
! district receive but So week.
Several Anarchist leaders were arrested
at CharlerOi to-day. The burialS of the
rioters who were shot by troops there are
proceeding quietly. At Verviers the So

threaten to raid extensive cloth works,
which are a conspicuous feature of that
