Hungarians and Italians at Milnesville
and vicinity for some time terminated
in a bloody battle. AS a result two
men are dead. two missing. supposed to

and three others seriously injured.
About 10 o'clock Saturday night a
party of four Huns were coming into
Harleigh. They had reached a point
about half way down Fishers hill,
when they were attacked by eleven
Italians. The latter instantly opened
fire.
The firing was signal for concerted
attack by the Italians. who seemed to
swarm from the woods on every side.
About 500 yards further down half
dozen other Huns were met at the school
house and on the Harleigh road near
by other HungarianS We're met.
The fight that ensued was terrific.
The Hungarians. who never go on the
road at night unarmed. after the first
onslaught. prepared to defend them
selves and volley of bullets into the
attacking Italians served TO check them
for a moment.
The next instant the Italians closed in
upon their adversaries and fierce
hand to hand conflict ensued. the
Italian stiletto playing havoc with the
Hungarians.
The Huns were outnumbered largely
and becoming dismayed. broke and fled
precipitately. The wells and whoops
of the victors attracted d number of peO-
pie to the scene. At each point OF at
tack men were found lying on the
ground groanirg from wounds. Joseph

Trouble in Brussels.
BRUSSELS, April 17.-Yesterday was
a day of extreme watchfulness and
anxiety on the part of the authorities
throughout Belgium. Reports from all
points indicate that the strike is spread
ing steadily and that the temper of the
strikers is growing worse. In this city
the morning passed without disturb
ance. Several suffrage meetings were
held, but they were orderly and the
speeches were not violent. In the after.
noon. however. thousands of working
men held turbulent meeting on the
road to the race course outside the city
limits. The advertised object of the
was to denounce the prOclama-
ton of Mayor Bulls prohibiting public
demonstrations in favor of universal
suffrage.
VOlders. the extreme socialist lea der,
who was arrested and released on
April IL. made an incendiary speech. in
which he applied the most obnoxious
epithets to NJ. Bulls. The crowd be-
came uproarious. shouted for revenge
upon the mayor and encouraged Vol
ders to still more Incorporate language.
The police ordered the crowd to dis
perse. The workingmen answered
with jeers. The police drew their
swords and advanced toward the plat
form. Some of the crowd fired revolv-
ers and few threw stones, but the
street was cleared without show of
fight toward the city. Nobody was in
injured.
Last evening turbulent crowds fought
the police in several districts of the
city. In the Rue de la Bavier. near
the Maison du Peuple, the mob became
so threatening that mounted police
them with drawn swords. The
rioters threw jars of Greek fire and
stones among the police. Many of the
mob were cut and trampled upon.
Twelve were arrested. Several police
men were burned and bruised. The
city is as if in a state of siege. All
places of amusement are deserted. The
police and the rioters have the streets
to themselves. A dispatch from Mons
says that the strikers have had posses
sion of many streets there since early |
in the afternoon. Reinforcements Of |
soldiers have been sent from this city.
