People Hurt.

Ioopie hurt.
A Mondays cable dispatch from Ha.
vana says: During the trouble be.
tween the Havana police and the popu-
lace last night three policemen we're
killed and about twenty-five persons
were wounded ON both sides. Public
opinion supports the police without re.
serve.
There seems to be concerted action
among the Nanigos, the secret society
OF the lawless class here, to attack the
police upon every possible occasion.
All the trouble of the last two nights
occurred in the outlying districts
which are inhabited by the worst
classes.
The police station at Cerro was at.
tackled yesterday evening by number
OF colored men, bad characters from
the city slaughter house The police
repelled the attack and the rioters
left three men badly wounded when
they retired.
Chief of police Menocal gave orders
to suspend the public balls last night,
and General Ludlow, in command of
of the city of Havana, sustained the
chief of police. As the police were
approaching the place where the ball
Of the Society ofIthe Pillar was in prog
ress, near Cerro, foG the purpose of
dispensing it, in accordance with Or
ders, people opened fire on them from
the house. The fire was returned by
the police. The re suit of the fusilade
was that two policemen were seriously
wounded and eighteen of their op-
ponents were wounded.
In different wards three policemen
were assassinated while on duty. The
murtlerers crept up behind them and
stabbed the officers to death
Three negroes in Galiano street at
tackled the policeman on that beat with
knives. The officer defended himself
with revolver, killing one of his as
sailants and wounding another one.
The third man escaped.
A Cuban officer attached to the COM
mand of Colonel Acea attacked po-
liceman on San Rafel street with
machete The officer shot him through
the heart.
An American negress was killed by
a stray bullet.
Two of the prisoners captured admit
there was conspiracy to drive the po-
lice out Of the city by series of out
