Calm Now Reigns
LONDON, May 10.-A Milan cores
pondent of the Daily News, telegraphing
Monday, says:
Calm reigns again. This being so, it can
do no harm to say plainly, though it is by
no means certain that the words will reach
you, that for the last two days this city
has been in the throea of revolution, with
all its horrors and all its sadness.
Certain quarters today present scene of
devastation. In others the
quietness Of terrorism reigns, and this is
the more striking when contrasted i'm the
mind Of the spectator with the scenes of
yesterday and Saturday, when, above the
shrieks Of the dying, rose the walls of
widows and orphans, the hoarse words Of
and the irresistible tramp of
soldiers, followed by the terrible boom of
cannons.
When the fury first broke out, many of
the people who would have nothing to do
with the movement, were caught, as it
were, in a trap. Here is an instance: When
the soldiers were advancing to the charge
against the first barricade in the Via To-
rino, a lady. young, richly dressed. and
stin with terror, was struck by bullet
in the breast and fell. dying.
At another point fine carriage, with
horses Wild with fright, was stopped by
the mob, and Its occupant a lady. forcibly
removed and left to flnd her way home as
best she could. The carriage was used to
carry the wounded to the hospital. At the
central station, the engine drivers having
refused to leave their families to the
mercy Of the mob. However, after de-

streets, and often also the scattered brains
The Red Cross society organized, its
members wearing the international badge,
and succored the wounded and dying
Many children had exceedingly narrow
escapes, the firing coming Just as the school
had been closed at noon. Parents rushed
about in an agony of mind. Any mother or
father can understand their feelings while
passing through mob, with bullets whis-
tling about their ears. Women, instead of
restraining the men, egged them on to
greater excesses and even allowed thei7
children to participate. Some even pushed
themselves under the noses of the soldiers,
crying, "Cowards! assassins! We work all
day to maintain you in idleness!" and
similar protests. When the mob invaded
the Central station the express for Turin
was just on the point of leaving. The riot
ers, when they saw it, cried: Look, look!
They are going to Turin for the fetes of the
Jubilee of the constitution. They are go
ing to enjoy themselves. Shame! shame!
Come back! Come back and see!''
Meanwhile the train advanced, but very
slowly, and hundreds of people threw them
selves upon the track in front of the en-
gine, screaming: "Come on, but over our
bodies!'
A very noticeable point throughout the
two days of the fighting has been that the
workingmen element, although with in
adequate means of offensive or defensive
