SITUATION IN PARIS SERIOUS
All the Churches to be Henceforth
Guarded by Troops.

Paris, Aug. 21.-The papers of this
city i'm commenting ON the riots which
took place here yesterday, are mani
nous in pronouncing the situation to be
of the most serious character. The Con-
sentative and Nationalist organs accuse
the Government of provoking yesterday s
bloodshed by unjustifable arrests.
In consequence of yesterdays events
judicial proceedings have been insti-
tllted against Sebastian Faure and four
others, for rebellions, for acts of yio-
Ience and attempt to murder, and
against divers persons for robhing a
consecrated building and burning its
furniture.
From today all churches will be
guarded by pickets of Republican guards
and detachments of infantry and cav
airy will be held in readiness for event
ualities The damage done by the riot
ers TO the church of Saint Joseph is
estimated at 5000 francs. The church
is surrounded by Gordon of police and
no one is allowed to approach the
building.
1t is pointed out that most of the
persons arrested for noting are youths
from - to 20 years of age.
The Rue Chabrol is occupied by in
fantry with fixed bayonets. All the
approaches are guarded and it is impos
sible to traverse the crowds, which are
everywhere increasing.
A detachment of infantry has JUST
commenced an attack upon M. Guer-
ms house, which is likely to lead to
blood-shed before morning. Nobody is
allowed to approach the scene, and the
cavalry charges are needlessly brutal.
