Warsaw, May 3.-Nearly 100 per-
sons were killed or wounded in disturb
ances in various quarters of Warsaw

uncomfortable, and violated all orders
to act with moderation. They fired
into the crowds of demonstrators, and
the workmen, in desperation, resorted
to the use of firearms and bombs.
Many women and children are among
the dead and dying.

tonight; the city presents most
gloomy aspect. and the temper Of the
enire community augurs ill.

Coscacks and infantry are the only re-
minders of lurking danger No unto

ternoon, when workmen carrying red
flags marched along Zelasna street.

and proceeded without molestation for
some distance. Suddenly several squad
rons of Uhlans appeared, but without
Interference with the procession, and
took up position along the sidewalks,
while the workmen passed through the
lines. Then a company of infantry
approached from the front, and immed-
lately the cavalry charged into the pio
cession, driving it with fiat of their
swords into disorganized mass. When
the cavalry withdrew the infantry fired
a volley, whereupon the demonstrators
turned and fled. The infantry contin-
ued to discharge volleys into retreat
ing, shrieking multitude. Thirty
persons were killed and many wounded
and of the latter it is believed 10 will
die.
