LONDON, April 30.-Up to midnight
kilograms received from the continent
indicate that in Germany and Austro-
Hungary, as in England, the May-day
celebration will partake the passive
character of popular fetes. On the other
hand, in France, Italy, Spain and Bel
GUM, the authorities are making pre-
parations as if to suppress revolution.
At cabinet meeting in Paris, today, it
was decided that it would be highly
dangerous to abate the repressive meas
ures already taken in the slightest de-
gree. The minister OF justice instructed
the public prosecutors and examining
magistrates to remain in their offices
throughout the day tomorrow. No dis
orderly bands of people will be allowed
to assemble or penetrate to the city.
The government is most apprehensive
of trouble in the industrial centers, and
has requested the leading manufac-
turers to use their influence to calm the
workmen and assist the detectives in
picking out men of notoriously Anarch-
istic proclivities.
ALARM IN ITALY.
A dispatch from Rome says: Feeling
OF public alarm is less acute that on the
eve of last May day, yet feverish symp-
toms are manifest, arising from the
numerous recent arrests. Bomb explo-
sions are reported tonight from Forli,
Solarolo and Voghera. Many arrests
have been made. At Ancona Socialist
meeting was broken up and forty eight
of those in attendance arrested. Arrests
continue to be made at Milan, Turin
and Bari. On the whole, official reports
from the provinces are reassuring, still
no precautions are being neglected
against any possible outbreak The
garrison in every large town is strongly
has been declared. Professions and
public meetings are forbidden, and strict
orders have been issued that the
slightest disorder is to be at once sup
pressed.
e. PRECAUTIONS IN SPAIN.
Dispatches from Madrid report that
the workmen, having been prohibited
from engaging in outdoor demonstra-
tions tomorrow, have resolved to hold
indoor meetings. The military will be
under arms throughout the principal
districts of the kingdom. The minister
OF war has sent out circulars instruct
ing military commanders not to hesitate
to assume supreme command if the ne
cessity arises. Detachments of civil
guards will protect the telegraph lines.
The greatest precautions have been
taken in Barcelona. The French An
archist Blondel, who is believed to have
been companion of Ravachol, was ar
rested there tonight.
PORTUGUESE PRECAUTIONS.
At Lisbon the troops are confined to
the barracks, and have received orders
o be ready at the first warning to act.

every precaution necessary to prevent
or quell any possible outbreaks.
