BERLIN, Feb. 29.-The authorities Of
this city claim to be in possession OF in
formation to the effect that the demon
stration of Thursday before the emper-
or's castle, was not, as at first supposed,
q spontaneous and unpremeditated
movement. They claim that it was .
carefully planned outbreak, and that It
would have assumed very much more
important proportions had 1t not been
for the fact that the people did not rise
TO any degree in support Of the anarch-
lists and socialists who engineered the
riots. This, of course, is the official
version of the affair, but it is doubtful
if it is correct. However, there ID no
doubt that the authorities had secret in
formation OF some kind, and that there
is more truth in the story that the an
archists had planned to use dynamite
on the castle than was at first
supposed. The entire force Of
the troops composing the gar
rison of Berlin was kept under arms
until 1:30 q. m, and even then they
were allowed to rest campaign FISH
ion, boots on and accoutrements within
reach. It has also leaked out that sew.
enty rounds of ball cartridge were
served out to the troops IN the early
stages Of the rioting, and that since
that time the cavalry regiments, ma
chine guns, batteries and infantry regi-
ments were all detailed to occupy cer-
tain strategic positions. In the shortest
possible time, upon receipt of the word,
they were to occupy the squares, thor
oughfares, bridges and other strategic
points about the city. In fact, the mlii-
tary staff Of the emperor, upon his
orders, it was said, had taken all the
steps
The entire police force has been ON
duty night and day since the trouble
cem nenced, and their watchfulness has
N been relaxed. A most anxious night
was passed. The streets, cafes and beer
gardens were packed until late hour.
Almost the entire population seems to
have turned out In anticipation of
further rioting, and the most sensational
rumors filed the air, owing to the ex-
traordinary precautions taken by the
military and police stats. One report
had it that the anarchists contemplated
starting simultaneously, fifty conhagra-
tions in as many different parts Of Ber-
lin, and that during the confusion that
followed, they were TO set fire TO sou
other buildings. Then, it was added, q
dynamite corps would
Msake an Attack Upon the Castle.
using dynamite bombs upon the troops
surrounding that building. Some color
was given to this startling story by the
fact that the whole fire department of
Berlin was, early during the morning of
Friday, suddenly ordered to prepare to
cover other districts independently in
case Of telegraphic communication be-
ing interrupted, and that every man
was to remain at his post until further
orders. This, however, may only have
been q measure of precaution, owing to
| the disturbed state of the city.
Nearly every man you met had some
new story to tell of plots discovered,
plans adopted or measures contemplated.
In word, the city was wild with ex-
element, and it has not yet returned to
its state of quiet. The police passed the
evening in watching all gathering
| groups and in dispensing them in az
thorough manner as possible. Upon
the slightest pretext they would charge
upon, kick, slash at and prod groups Of
inoffensiue citizens whose only crime
was that they happened to stop few
moments in some thoroughfare in order
to discuss the latest report in connection
with the riots.
| Another Small Riot.
| Shortly after II o'clock p. m. there
was another small riot, making the
third Of such distur Dances of the peace
since Thursday afternoon. At about
that hour number Of groups of ex
cited men, some Of them probably loaded
down with beer, focused in the north
ern district, until 4 gathering of about
1900 men was formed, and began listen
ing to an address from socialist leader
The latter had hardly uttered q few
burning remarks condcmning the bruta
conduct of the authorities, ETC., wher
the lately mach sung "Marsellaise,
broke upon the air, and the assemblag'
joined in voicing the words OF the grea
revolutionary anthem. Almost at th,
same moment, as if q carefully studiet
stage effect had been planned, "a hundred
blood red hags waved in the air, AMI
there was scene of enthusiastic confu
sion. Then, above the din OF th,
/ s.Marsellaise, were heard the hear
stirring cries of
