BATTLE FOUGHT AT MILAN.
Terrific Fight Between Rioters and Troops
in Italy.


Lugano, Switzerland, May SIT has
been a terrible day at Milan. About
O'Clock this afternoon veritable bat-
tie occurred in the Via Somtrairi.
Thousands of tiles OF chimncys were
hurled from the roofs upon the troops,
who were compelled to retire.

Torino, and 1t is believed that no fewer
than 400 We're killed and 900 injured,
A Swiss merchant who has arrived
here from Milan describes the events
of Saturday as completely anarchicai.
According to his account the lead
ers of the agitation evidently had we'll
arranged plans. Columns of rioters
emerged from all the gates Of the town
and concentrated on central square
where they rapidly constructed barrl-
cades. When they were dislodged by
the troops they mounted to roofs and
rained tiles and chimneys down upon
the soldiers.
The gates of the town were held by
the troops in the evening and through
the night, so that workmen employed
outside We're unable to return to their
homes. In this way the rising was de.
prived of additional help from without.
During the night the city was in com.
plete darkness and funeral silence.
Artillery, cavalry and infantry blvou-
acked on the llazza del Duomo, whore
achievements were constantly ar
irving.
Late news this morning from Milan
says the Secolo has been seized and its
editor arrested. The postal telegraph
offices have been closed and all dis
patches of mail stopped. The public
buildings are guarded and artillery
have been placed in position on the
Piazza del Duomo.
Many fugitives from Milan have
crossed the frontier into the canton OF
Ticno and to Fontana, among them
being the editor of the italia Del Popo-
10, the incriminated republican paper
who eluded the police. Eight thousand
troops are quartered In the city.

Duluth, MINI. May s.-Flfty frame
buildings in Minnesota Point, just
above the ship canal, were burned this
afternoon. An hour after the fire
started, 1000 people were homeless. The
fire took twelve frame store buildings

Kingston, Jamaica, May 7.--(Copy-

instructions from Washington. United
States Consul Dent, has chartered the
Atlas line steamer Adula for the pur-
pose OF bringing refugees from Glen
fuegos to this port. She will sail to-
night and return to Cuba on Wednes-
day. 1t is probable that the British
consul at Cienfuegos will take charge
of American interests there. a dispatch
was received from Clenfuegos four
days ago, asking for ship, but there
was none available. and two days later
an urgent message came.
Today he asked that ship be sent

cable dispatches on the subject received

that the ship was requested in antici-
patton of disturbance.
