FIERCE RACE RIOT.
Battle Between Whites and Blacks
in New York.

''San Juan HILL" the district bounded
by Amsterdam and Western Avenues
and Sixty-second and Sixty-thlrd
Streets. New York, sO-called because OF
it's notoriety as a battle ground, was the
scene Friday night Of fierce race not
which required $50 policemen to quell af-
ter many shots had been fired and several
persons had been seriously injured.
The trouble began shortly after ,
o'clock when a policeman arrested Ed
ward Connolly for attacking Henry Will
Jams, a negro and was pursued TO the
station house with his prisoner by 4
mob of Connelly's friends, hurting show
ers of stones and other missiles.
When the station house reserves turn
ed out the whole neighborhood was III an
uproar and whites and blacks engaged
in desperate struggles in the streets.
Torrents of missiles were hurled from
roofs and windows.
Within ten minutes not less than LOU
men. boys and women, black and white,
were engaged in furious combat.
The small party of police were power
less, and reinforcements were summoned.
On their arrival a Gordon was drawn
around the whole district and strong pa
trolls made repeated charges down the
streets in q vain effort to restore order.
They succeeded in making a few prison
ers and were forced to retreat, lighting
every inch of the way and pursued to
the station house by a bowling mob.
Commissioner McAdoO arrived at IL
o'clock and made tour of the battle
field. the fighting by that time having
ceased. He said the riot could not have
taken place had not the rougher element
been permitted to carry arms. they
appeared to have a regular arsenal OF
weapons, as the police found when they
searched the prisoners. In all sever
whites and two negroes had their IN
juries attended to by the ambulance sur
reons. but scores of others. less seriously
hurt. were taken to their homes by
friends. Five whites and six negroes
almost all of whom bore traces Of con
| fict with the police, were arrested.
| A picked body of thirty policemen was
detailed to occupy the disturbed region
Turing the night and assist the police al
the precinct.
