RIOTING IN BELFAST.


MOD N6pulSeS Une IOllco uHu tHe hhll-
itary Is Called Out.
Belfast June 7.-During the celebra-
tions of the anniversary of June 6, 1886,
when seven civilians were shot on
Shank Hill road by the constabulary.
the Nationalist procession, while re-
turning last evening from Hannans-
town, was broken up in riot. Several
thousand Orangemen in the Shank Hill
road attacked and overpowered the po-
lice and chased them back into the
Brow Square barracks. Several mount
ed constables were severely injured,
and one had his leg broken.
The police reinforcements which ar
rived were compelled to threaten the
crowd with their revolvers before they
were able to rescue their comrades
from the fury Of the mob, which tore
up the street for missiles.
The troops were then called out, but
the mob cheered them and sang Rule
Britannia" The disturbance then
ceased, though the excitement con-
tinued. The feeling Of the Orangemen
against the police is very bitter Many
civilians were injured A score Of ar
rests were made. ~

Cuba's Captain General Thinks Ho
.rs Can Prevent an Invasion. ~ -
HIS REPORTTo THE GOVERNMENT

Admiral Cervera and General Linares
Join Him In His Optimistic Predic-
tions-spain Denies That Any Of Our
Troops Have Yet Landed in Cuba.
Madrid June 7.-General Blanco, Ad-
miral Cervera and General Linares
have sent interesting cablegrams to the
governSent, detailing the preparations
being lively made to reDel the in
vasion sf Cuba, that is considered i'm
minent.
They report that the crew. the gar
rison, the volunteers and the inhabi-
tants are In high spirits. elated by the
repulse Of the first reconnaissance by
the enemy. Only 16 American vessels
are in sight of Santiago, and 1t is be-
lieved that the other four have been de-
tached toward Guantanamo where the
Spanish land forces are on the alert, as
are they also on both sides of Santi-
ago, to oppose the landing Of an Ameri-
can expedition or the diversion expected
from Calixto Garcia at the head of
several thousand insurgents.
Generals Linares and Luquo consider
that they have enough men to force
back the insurgents and the invaders.
while Admiral Cervera will assist the
land batteries and holdJAdmiral Samp-
son and Commodore Schleyssin check.
General Blanco reports that the block
ade Of Havana has been SO relaxed
ever since the American fleets were
concentrated near Santiago that he has
been able to send reinforcements. war
stores and provisions to many parts of
the coast, while merchant vessels are
entering and leaving Havana and other
ports quite easily He also cables that
the home rule government, the insular
parliament and the autonomist au-
thorities are now in regular working
order, with the support of all loyal par
ties, while he says "the rebels are
singularly inactive and lack provis-
ions and supplies owing to the vigor-
Que watch on the coasts by the Span
ish garrisons"
Calixto Garcias forces hover in the
neighborhood and are frequently beat
en-. but the government insists that he
has not yet succeeded in concentrating
enough troops to attack the capital Of
the province.
1t is stated that the Merrimac sank
before reaching the entrance to the
channel. Captain Aunon, minister Of
marine, has sent orders that she be
dynamited.
The government denies absolutely
that any American expeditions have
landed in Cuba, and no attack has
been made on Santiago from the land
side.
The cabinet has decided that no eff
fective blockade of Cuba exists, and
will SO notify the powers. An informal
notification has already been made.
