Sixty-tWO Were Killed al | Warsaw.
THE POPULAR SITUATION
Population is Very Bitter
 Against Soldiers.
Troops Are Nervous and Another Out- break Seems Ready to Occur Attempts at Revenge Expect-
 ed by Authorities.

Warsaw, May 2.--(s:55 p. m.)--The May Day death roll totalled sixty-tWo
 including ten persons who died in the
 hospitals during the night. Probably
 two hundred men were injured.
 Crowds gathered at the Tenth Dls-
 trict police station this morning, where
 thirty victims, men and women and
 three children were awaiting identifica-
 tion.
 Some minor disturbances occurred to-
 day in different sections of the city, but
 no casualties have yet been reported.
 All day long infantry and cavalry patrolled the streets. which were
 crowded with people who did not spare
 their criticism of what was generally
 termed unnecessary slaughter. The
 popular irritation could not be com cealed. The soldiers evidently were
 nervous and open outbreaks resulting
 in repetition of yesterdays terrible
 scenes only averted by the evident dc.
 sire of the authorities to prevent
 clash coupled with the fear inspired
 by the soldiers bullets. The popuIa<
 ton Is most bitter against the military
 and the government officials expect
 many attempts at revenge upon tho officers commanding the troops, all of
 whom are known.
 The Polish press Is silent on the subs
 ject of yesterdays happenings Tne
 official Russian paper prints a short and entirely inaccurate report. The gov& ernor general of Warsaw is said to
 be greatly upset by the turn of affairs. The Nationalists have arranged thk usual demonstrations for tomorrow, thf 114th anniversary of the proclamatioA | of the Polish constitution. and dfsturb<
 ances are highly probable.
 In Ugly Mood.
 The working men are in an ugly and | unCarfafu Fnn0d The w0Fknen alf l the factories struck and efforts are bes | ing made to bring about a general | strike. but this is not likely to be sucs | cessful. The people have not yet ref | covered from the exhaustion and losses I resulting from the last strike. Reports conflict regarding the begin- i ming of yesterdays encounter in Je- I rusalem Street. According to the most l generally accepted version the authori- 1 ties had forbidden workmen marching | in procession to carry red flags. but 1 the workmen, however, decided to ig~ nore the orders. When the procession | reached Jerusalem Street, the police or
 dered the workmen to stop. but they refused to do so. and q police officer l thereupon fired Q revolver. giving a signal for the infantry to fire. It ap~ pears that in other cases the demon~ strators were the aggressors, but that l in this instance the soldiers fired first. IHe lhuusbEidA POpuidtAoh tS ASSbAS exasperated over the sanguinary re- suits of yesterdays encounters. The strikes inaugurated on large scale here, at Lodz and in other cities are rapidly spreading and 75.000 persons are on strike in Lodz. Cossaeks are patrolling the streets of Warsaw by companies on account of the danger to smaller attachments.
 A great crowd which gathered today in front of the police stations to
 which the corpses of those killed on
 Monday had been taken demanded the bodies of their dead, but was dispersed by Cossacks. According to official statements, the dead, not including those of the wounded who died in hos- pitfalls. numbered thirty-one. The ma- | jority of the dead were working people. In Lodz, according to an official re- port -four women were killed.
