THE RIOTS IN NAPLES.



ROM. Aug. a7.-The riots in the past
few days in Naples which have gener-
ally been attributed to striking cab
drivers, has n deeper significance. The
troubles had their origin in the anti
French agitation following the Aguis-
Mortes massacre of Italians by French
men. The demonstrations at first were
intended solely as expressions of in
dignation against the French. The
cabmen took advantage of the excite
ment to strike for higher wages, and
the rioting which then occurred had
no connection with the Aguis-Mortes
affair.
The troubles of Thursday last were
due entirely TO the cabmen. who had
apparently concluded that their u
was a losing one But in creating dis
~turbanees they found in all cases the
poor of the city helped them in the
fight against the police. Passions and
discomfort r from many causes and
the police found themselves unable to
cope with the mob which threatened
to take possession Of the city.
The police, il is charged. added to
the seriousness of the situation hv thu
brutality they displayed.

all its surroundings, with the brownish
green of the scanty grass; with the
dark rich hue of the pines which had
crowded up to the doorway; with the
delicate blue Of the cloud-fecked sky
bending over it; with the red clusters
of unripe blackbcrries studding the
bushes at the foot of the rocks. In front
of the cabin the stony ground, Sparsely
covered with grass, sloped to the noun
tain's eastern brow, where, at a short
distance from the shanty, 4 great table

Over this sunrise rock rose a Scraggy,

scene; nesting down beside the rocks
it suggested the idea of repose and
humble content. The little cabin was
old and tired; it had crouched down
to rest in the shade; sleep and silence
We're around it; shadows caressed it
with loving touch; birds tiuttered in
the pines above it and tWittered softly
so as not to disturb it's slumbers. For
gotten were all the trough storms that
had assailed it; forgotten all the rains
that had descended upon it; forgotten
all but the delicious repose Of the
present.
This repose was not to continue. Its
inmates awoke; the three yellow dogs
arose and began nosing around; their
minds were evidently running on
ground hogs. The master of the dogs
soon appeared at the ortn door, hold
ing in one hand hammer and taclls and
in the other the skin of a ground hos

outside of the cottage to keep company
with three others that had been stretch
ed there to dry The dogs, barking and
yelping around the feet Of their black
master, seemed to be trying to tell
him that they remembered all about
the last hunt and were ready for an
other. Having stretched the skin and
secured it with taclls the man entered
the house: soon he came out with 4
tin bucket on his arm and an AK on
his shoulder He had just placed his
