out the kingdom. AT Milan the rioters At
the Porta TIcnacine have been completely
suppressed reinforeements continue 10
reach the city and many arrests have been
made but Gen. Tama has ordered all the
factories to reopen tomorrow.
Other dispatches from Milan report. on
the contrary, the erection OF a fresh bar
ricade by rotous mobs in the Via Bertani
and the Porta Garibaldi. According 20 this
account the troops are compelled TO use
arms to dispense the rioters and a lieuten-
ant and several soldiers were wounded

tinues, but It is less intense. The authcrf-
ties have ordered all socialist and repub-
current that the rioters have driven back
a train. under the impression that it was
conveying soldiers.

three unsuccessful attacks on the general
telegraph office at Milan. with a view OF
cutting or the city. When all other ex-
pedients failed, Gen. Bava Boccaris used
cannon TO destroy the barricades. and
about 100 were killed on Saturday.
The government has established the Sc
verest censorship In revising and stopping
all dispatches containing what 1t considers
dangerous matter. I learn. however. that
the rioters at Milan succeeded today Mon
day. in occupying the Central station and
delayed the departure of several trains
Gen. Bava BoccarLs now has supreme
power.
No praise could be too high for the dis
c.pline, endurance and patience Of the SOL
diers under the most trying conditions.
