FATAL CLASH BETWEEN RIOTERS

tect Main Body from Attack.

Brussels April 13-The police made a bloody repression of a fresh outbreak of disorders last evening and it has created painful impression among all classes here. although it is appreciated that the majority of the victims of the encounter do not belong to the better class of workmen. Yesterday for the first time the police really fired their rifles loaded with ball cartridges. Pre- vious to yesterday they had used their swords and their revolvers, and the lat ter usually loaded with blank cart ridges. Saturdays rioters were com posed of the dregs of the populations with a sprinkling of what is called the young socialist guard, wlfo are mere boys with little regard for the orders of M. Van der Velde. member of the chamber of deputies and the leader of the socialist movement in Belgium and the socialist committee
 It must be explained that the Maison du Peuple is situated on the upper slope of hill, that the central boulevard and most of the business portion of the city lies at the foot of this hill while the royal palace, the law courts, the
 
 stand upon the ridge of the hill. The quarter around the Maison du Peuple is the worst in the while city. It is perfect rookery of low class dwellings intersected by steep and narrow streets and malodorous alleys. In the vicin- ity of the Maison there are few small squares in which the rioters gathered yesterday evening until they were dis persed and the squares occupied by de- tachments of the civic guard. The mob was mainly composed of the rough pop ulation of the quarter, who jeered and reviled the police when they were forced along the streets by the cordon of of ticers. The serious troubles began when a number of roughs from a safe dist ance fired revolvers in the direction of the cordons The gendarmes then charged with drawn swords. After fir ing at the crowd with revolvers loaded with blank cartridges, they were greet ed with a hail of missiles, such as stones, bottles and heavy iron rivets.

MILES TO GO VERY SOON
HIS COMPULSORY RETIREMENT SEEMS FULLY SETTLED UPON.
An Open Secret Which Is Not Denied at the White House-.An ExpIa anation of Rooseveit's Position by a Close Per sonaI Friend-Welfar of tho Army Necessitates the Step.

Washington, April 13.-The issues ar' fairly joined between the lieutenan
 general and the secretary of war. Int
 troubles which began long ago under the Cleveland administration have. fin ally reached so critical a stage tha-
 the compulsory retirement of Genera
 Miles at an early date is an open SC
 cret and is not denied at the White
 house. In explanation of President
 Roosevelt's position one of his close friends, who unquestionably speaks by authority says:
 The question is not a personal one Root At present Secretary Root has on his shoulders a heavier burnden than any other member of the administra tion.s No man less strong could carry it at all; and now, at the very time when he requires the most loyal sup port of every subordinate who wishes well to the army and the nation, he has to spend much of his strength in meet ing the opposition of the commanding general. If General Miles is retired it will be simply because after patient
 
 the highest ethical grounds his reten- tion would work grave and lasting in- Justice to the army as whole.'
 s"As some of General Miles friends have said that it would be unfair to re- tire him, it should be said in the first place that he secured his promot ion to a brigadier genralship only through the similar forced retirement of General Ord, he himself being jumped over a number of his senior officers into the vacancy thus created; and, in the sec- kind taken by President Roosevelt since he has been in office was in the case of Colonel Moves, who was com pulsorily retired after reaching the age of sixty-two, on the recommendation of General Miles. Tn other words the gen. eral has himself recommended and profited by the very action which his friends now fear may be taken at his expense. If he should go out before General Brooke is retired, General Brooke, who is General Miles senior both in service and in age. and who did gallant and distinguished work as a NOljilteeI III lIle CIVIL Hdit NOuIu uil- be put in his place as lieu tenant general, as it is known that the administration has been very desirous of recognizing General Brooke's long and faithful service. General Brooke, during the civil war, rendered equally neritorious service with General Miles; General Brooke was the first to obtain 3 commission and throughout the civil war he retained his advantage, ending lhe war as General Miles senior. Af- .er peace came, General Miles was pro- noted over General Brooke's head. As General Brooke will necessarily hold he position but a brief period before his retirement for age General s. M. B. Young is likely to succeed General Brooke and General Chaffees promo ion to follow two years hence"

masked men standing on either side Of
his bed Drawn revolvers were pointed
at his head, but in spite of this he
jumped from bed and grappled with the
intruders. In the darkness they broke
away and fed from the house.
The burglars then entered the home
of Town Marshal Krohm, who opened
fire on them. When he had shot three
times, one of the robbers, who had jump
cd into a buggy, got out and began
blazing away at the marshal. At the
third shot the latter fell with a bullet
through his hips. Baird, who had mean
time arrived at the scene, picked up the
officers gun and continued the firing.
The robbers, however, drove rapidly
away.
Baird followed them to the home OF
superintendent w. ]. Hitler, of the
Cleveland, Elyria and Western Railway.
Even when Baird again opened fire on
the robbers they walked into the Hitler
home, after smashing in the door,
The noise on the street aroused Hitler
and he reached for his gun, loaded with
quail shot. A burglar cautiously opened
the door and Hitler blew his head off
with the first discharge. The other rob-
bers turned and ran, but Hitler dis
charged the second barrel One of the
men yelled and tottered, but did not fall
