The Students Meet the Cavalry,
The students tried to repeat the scenes of
the night before in the neighborhood of the
Palais de Justice and Prefecture de Police.
A mob assembled at the Place st. Michel
and tried to rush over the bridge to the
Boulevard de Palais, which runs between
the two buildings. They were met and
driven back by body of cavalry. They re-
treated, fighting down the Boulevard St.
Michel. Many students were trampled or
cut, and several cavalrymen were wounded
by flying stones.
The students finally got possession of a
dozen streets between the Boulevard St.
German and the Seine. Infantry and cav
| airy were at hand, however, to restrain
them from breaking into the public build
ings.
An hour later the whole district between
the Rue st. Peres and the College de
France, two blocks east of the Boulevard
/ st. Michel, was in full riot. Troops of cav
| airy and squads of police were stationed in
every street. The students held their

on fire Many students used revolvers.
