New York July 14.-"San Juan hfll,' and West End avenues and Sixty first and Sixty-third streets, so called be- cause of it's notoriety as a battle ground, was the scene tonight of furious race riot which required 250 policemen to quell, after many shots had been fired and several persons had been seriously injured.
 The trouble began shortly after o'clock when a policeman arrested Edward Connolly for attacking Henry Williams, a negro, and was pursued to the station house with his prisoner by a mob of Connelly's friends, huIling l showers of stones and other missiles. When the station house reserves turned out the whole neighbOrhood was | in an uproar and whites and blacks en- i gagged in despers te struggles. Torrents of missiles were hurled from roofs and windows. Within ten minutes not less than a thousand men and boys and ! women, black and white, were engaged i in furious combat.

 The worst of the fighting was in Sixty-second street, where from every window and roof raineG missiles, while hunG. eds of shots were fired. Round man Patrick Walsh was knocked down by Joseph Smith, negro. who leaped upon him, and after attempting to shoot him. struck him repeatedly with the butt of his revolver. Walsh was finally rescued by his comrades.

In all there were more than 25O men under the command of the inspector within twen- ty minutes
 Squads of men were sent along the roofs of the houses in Sixty second street, where the fighting seemed hea- viest. They walked from West EnC avenue to Amsterdam clearing the roofs and found that many chimneys had been tOrn to pieces to furnish am- munition. More arrests were made and several whites and negroes were rescued from gangs of assailants. bu
