SONS were killed and 40 seriously wounded
The majority of the injured persons hav,
shot wounds. A soldier at close quarter
fired at q boy, shattering his hand. The
soldier was arrested. Re-enforcements Of
troops to the number of 1900 arrived al
Belfast. The aspect of affairs was sc
threatening at noon, that the authorities
ordered all the taverns in the city to be
closed. The military dispersed several
mobs at the point OF the bayonet. Thirty
rioters are reported to have been wounded,
the police having kept up a merciless fire.
The city, owing to the wreck and ruin of
the houses, presents a deplorable aspect.
Its appearance Is similar to that of Paris
| after the Commune. 1t is feared there are
numerous deaths resulting from the riots
which have taken place which will never
| be heard of. The hospitals are taxed to
| the utmost to accommodate the great num-
Der of wounded persons in need of attend
ance. a painful feature of the riots is the
number of children wounded. A boy was
shot while returning from Sunday school
little girl was shot on the streets and, it
IS thought, fatally wounded. She was
carried away apparently lifeless.
The heaviest fighting occurred in Spring
field. 1t was stated that the battle was
waged in regular guerilla fashion. The
Catholics held the field, protected by trees,
while the Protestants occupied an embra-
sure opposite, in which they lay down.
The contestants aimed with remarkable
| GOODNESS, picking each other off as if they
terfered with by the police or soldiers, who
were fully occupied in the city. 1t is rum
ored that sixty of the rioters were shot
many of whom were killed.
4 DYNAMITE SCARE.
The London Home Office has been in
formed from New York that a number of
dynamiters have left the United States for
the purpose of making attacks on the Eng
fish Government. The conspirators will go
from New York to Paris, and there await
a favorable opportunity for entering Eng
land. The Home Office has notified the
French Government. Some of the Home
Department officials declare that they be-
l1eye the whole enterprise, as reported from
New York, is merely a renewal of O'Dono-
van Rosa s demonstrations to raise money.

Gladstone, who was returned to the House
of Commons, both from Midlothian and
Le1th burgh, Scotland, has chosen to sit

in week. He had also made business
engagement with Goldman g. Co. of Phoe-
nix, which he was to fill en- route to the
railroad. His failure to meet this aroused
suspicion, as he had just sold ranch and
was known to have $4,000 in his possession,
and inquiry made at Maricopa revealed the
fact that he had not reached there. In-
vestigations were set on foot, and the last
trace that could be found of him was from
a teamster who had met him on the road
between Seymour and the Aqua Fria river
crossing. He noticed at the time two
strange men a short distance from the road
while he was talking to Mr.. Martin. He

THE BELFA ASH BATTLES.
Quiet Restored in the Disturbed city.
Temporary quiet has been restored in
Belfast, thanks to the tactical distribution
of the military forces. The persons wound
ed in the riots are making fine progress to-
ward recovery, except Inspector Bulls of
the Royal Irish Constabulary, who is dying.
Inquests are being held on the bodies of
those killed, and the funerals of some of
the victims were held.
TWO MEN KILLED.
About five o'clock, two men were shot
by disorderly persons in different parts of
the city. One of the men was shot while
in a Catholic cemetery attending the funer-
al of victim of the recent riots. Special
constables are being enrolled. The military
are taking the place of the police. A fund
has been opened for the relief of the fami-
lies of the killed.
BLooDTHIRsTY COMPLAINTS.
Five thousand troops and $500 consta-
bles occupy the disturbed districts. The
presence of the police tends to increase in
stead of suppress the disorder. The Pro-
testants declare that the Catholics were the
aggressors by wrecking Protestant houses,
while the Catholics are equally certain that
the Professionals were the aggressors. OF
one thing there is no doubt. Never did
two mobs of different religions display
more bloodthirsty desire to kill or MAIN
each other. During the fighting, whenever
the powder ran short, viragos on both sides
flat-irons and other implements ground the
large grains of blasting into a size suitable
for small arms, while boys of tender age
