All the cnfes in the Boulevard du Temple
and the Boulevard Voltaire were filled at
s o'clock with workingmen and rowdies,
who were expected shortly to follow the

the attack ON the police and military.
Shortly before o'clock the cafes were
empty and the mobs were again in the
streets. In the Boulevard Voltaire and
the Boulevard Temple the rioters were

ing, towards the Place de In Republique
At the corner Of the Rue d Angouleme the

slowly. There was no scattering or signs
of panic. The men backed off step by
step, those in front welding their clubs
right and left and those behind splitting
up booths and kiosks into weapons with
which to fight later in the front. After
six charges the military had forced the
mob back to the Boulevard Richard Lee
noir, where the lighting was suspended.
In their retreat the rioters had set fire to
the booths which they did not split into
clubs For five blocks the Boulevard Vol
taire is strewn with broken timbers, ,eharred
boards and torn and bloody clothing.

The mob was driven back but only after
hard fighting. In the Avenue de la Re
/ publique and on the Quai de Valmy, along
the Canal st. Martin, the fighting between
the rioters and the Republican guards was
almost uninterrupted from $40 to 10
o'clock. Booths and carts were dragged
to the middle of the streets and set afire
| Brands were thrown among the guards
When the mob was pushed by the mill
tary from the Avenue de la Republique
into the side street Du Grand Prieure, al
lies of the rioters began firing from the
windows on the military. Two soldiers
were wounded. Dozens of rioters are re-
ported as having been injured during the
fight in the side street.
Throughout the evening the police
treated brutally the Paris reporters who
were sent to describe the riots. Several
newspaper men were assaulted and beaten
by the police. All of them have been sub
jected to as many indignities as the police
found opportunity to inflict on them.
