Number of Lives Lost at Milan Now
Put mt 1000.
London, May 10.-The Milan correspond
ent of the Daily News, telegraphing Mon
day, says:
Calm reigns again. This being so II
can do no harm to say plainly, though It
is by no means certain the words will
reach you, that during the last two days
this city has been In the throes of revo-
luton with all it's horrors and all It's sad
ness.
Certain quarters to-day present scene
OF complete devastation. In others the
quietness of terrorism reigns and this is
the more striking when contrasted in the
minds OF the spectator of the scenes yes
terday and Saturday, when above the
shreks of the dying rose the walls of
widows and orphans, the hoarse words Of
command and the irresistible tramp of
soldiers, followed by the terrible boom of
cannon.
when the fury first broke out

thing to do with the movements

soldiers were advancing to the charge
against the first barricade In the Via To-
rino, a lady, young, richly dressed, was
struck by bullet In the breast. She fell
against the wall, only having time to ex-
claim Mother" before dying. In the
same way old people unable to resist the
rush were shot or trampled under foot.
"At the central station the engine drivers

a delay of forty minutes the troops Obliged
them TO go on with the trains. The fignt-
ing was In real earnest and the soldiers
were received as people receive a foreign
invader
pools of blood were seen in the streets
and often also the scattered brains of the

"The Red Cross service 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
schools had been closed at noon. Parents
rushed about In en- agony of mind.

egged them on to greater. excesses and
even allowed their children to participate.
Some even pushed themselves under the
noses OF the soldiers, crying 'Cowards, as
sasslns. We work all day to uaintain you
In idleness,' and raising similar protests.
when the mob invaded the Central rail-
way station, the express for Turin was on
the point Of leaving. The rioters when they

are going to enjoy themselves. Shame !

Meanwhile the train advanced but very
slowly, and hundreds Of people threw
themselves on the track In front Of the en-
gine screaming Come on, but over our
bodies
"A very noticeable point throughout
the two days fighting has been that the
working element, although without ade-
quate means, offensive or defensive, has
shown extraordinary tactical knowledge,
a proof among others, that organization
existed ana that preparations had been
made, perhaps not for an explosion now,
but at the first opportune moment. Thirteen
barricades were built by the mob at the
Coroso de Garibaldi, where this main
street in intersected by others, forming a
small square"
Thus the people were masters OF the
ground which they held for a long time
before the soldiers arrived. Even the
gentle nuns Of Saint Michael were for a
time In grave danger as the rebels were

"A barricade had been raised beside the
convent; and this enraged the rioters. The
savage cry arose Let us use the nuns to
highten our barricades.' They were on
the point Of carrying out the idea when
one Of the sisters appeared at the convent
door and distributed lire notes. enjoining
them with the most exquisite courtesy to
leave the convent In peace.
Even this, however, would have been
insufficient had the cavalry not arrived
giving the crowd something else TO think
Of
The mob did not even respect the hospi-
tails but wished to invade them; and the
Ospenala Magglore was particularly
threatened. Behind the gate OF that
building stood Prof. Porro, senator and
well known doctor, the most noted con-
servative IN Milan. The crowd was quick
TO see him.
There Is Porro, our oppressor," they
cried threateningly. Insults We're shouted
as the professor, now pale but calm, reso-
lutely opened the gates and stood with
arms folded saying sternly: Let him
who has the courage advance He viii find
a good revolver ready for him and l y-in
show how a good physician does his duty"
Nobody accepted the invitation.
It IS extremely difficult TO speak with ac
curacy as to the numbers of killed and
wounded An estimate in view of the con-
hicung statements current can only ap-
proximate TO the truth.
"It may be said al once that the casual
ties were many times more numerous than
could at first have been believed even by
spectators Of the bloodshed Probably II
would not be exaggerating to fix the num-
Der OF deaths as httle short Of one thou

ties win probably never be known"
NO YELLOW FEVER AT KEY WEST.
