POOLS OF BLOOD IN THE STREETS

London, May 1O-The Milan corr espond- day, says:;,
 Calm reigns again. This being so, 1t can do no harm to say plainly that It Is by no means certain the words will reach you that for the last two days this city has been in the throes of revolution with all it's horrors and all it's sadness.
 Certain quarters today present a scene of complete devastation. In others the quiet ness of terrorism regns, and this is the more striking when contrasted in the mind of spectator with the scenes of yester- ady and Saturday, when above the shrieks of the dying arose 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 many people who had nothing to do with the movement were caught, as 1t were, in trap. Here Is an instances:
 'When the soldiers were advancing to the charge against the first barricade in the Via Torcino, lady, young, richly dressed and stiff with terror. was struck by a bullet, in the breast She fell against the wall, only having time to exclaim. Mother before dying. In the same way old people, unable to resist the rush, were shot or trampled under foot.
 Removed From Her Carriage
 "At another point fine carriage, with horses wild with fright, was stopped by the mob and its occupant, lady, forcibly removed and left to find her way home us best she could. The carriage was used to carry the wounded to the hospitals.
 At the central station the engine drivers and guards refused to leave their families to the mercy of the mob. However, after a delay OF forty minutes the troops obliged them to go on with the trains The fight ing was in real earnest and the soldiers were received as people receive foreign invade. Pools of blood were seen in the streets and often also the spattered brains of the killed.
 The Red Cross society organized its mem- bers wearing the Italian badge and suc- cored the wounded and dying Many chill dren had exceedingly narrow escapes tho 2 firing coming just as the schools had been closed at noon. Parents rushed about in an agony of mind. Any mother or father can understand their feelings while pass- ing through a mob with bullets whistling about their ears. Women. instead of re- straining the men, agged them on to greater excess and even allowed their chil- dren to participate. Some even pushed themselves under the noses of the soldiers, crying towards, "assassins," etc.
 Threw Themselves Under Train
 When the mob invaded the central rail- way station the express for Turin was just on the point of leaving. The rioters when they saw it cried, Look, look; they are going to Turin for the fetes of the jubilee of the constitutions they are gong to enjoy themselves. Shame. shame; come back" and so on. Meanwhile the train advanced, but very slowly, and hundreds of people threw themselves on the track in front of the engine screaming: Come on but over our bodies.'
 very noticeable point throughout the two days fighting has been that the work ingmen element, although without ade- quate means offensive or defensive, has shown extraordinary tactical knowledge, proof among others that organization ex- isted, and that preparations had been made, perhaps not for an explosion now, but at the first opportune moment. Thir- teen barricades were built by the mob at the Corso Garibaldi, where this main street is intersected by others, forming a small square.
 1t is extremely difficult to speak with ac- curacy as to the numbers of killed and wounded and any estimate in view of the conflicting statements current they can only approximate to the truth. It may be said that the casualties were many times more numerous than could at first have been believed even by spectators of the bloodshed Probably 1t would not be exag- geration to fix the number of deaths as little short of .000 What are the numbers of the wounded shall not attempt to say. <~ ~.r- r---
