SICKENING CARNAGE
in WARSAW STREETS
Over Hundred Slain by Cossacks and
Soldiers Yesterday.
Much Of the Slaughter Was Unprovoked ...Another
General Strike Feared.

Warsaw, May 2.-tnother general
strike will probably be- the outcome ~
yesterdays firing on the people by the
troops.
Workingmen are making great
effort To take advantage of the angry
popuiace aroused by the bIoodshcd
aud inapgirate another season of
strike and disorder.
Fears are expressed that the
clashes yesterday were only the be-
ginning and that there will be furrh-
er disorder.
Nearly one hundred persons were
killed or wounded In disturbances in
various quarters OF Warsaw yester-
day. Troops apparently were uncon-
trollable and violated all orders To
act with moderation. Many women
and children are among the dead and
dying. What approaches reign of
terror exists; the city presents
most gloomy aspect and the temper
OF the community augurs III.

pect that the recent gloomy forebod-
ings were TO find contradiction In a
peaceful ending. The streets were
crowded from early morning with
gaily dressed people and troops.
Children everywhere enjoyed them
selves In the warm sunshine.
No untoward incident was report

turbances occurred between one and
two O'Clock. when procession of
several thousand workmen carrying

several squadrons of uhlans appeared
but without interfering with the pro-
cession and took up n position along
the sidewalks while workmen passed
through the lines. Then a company
Of infantry approached from the front
and Immediately the cavalry charg-
ed into the procession driving u with
the flai Of their swords into a disor-
ganized mass. when the cavalry
withdrew the infantry fired yolley
whereupon the demonstrators turned
and fled. The infantry continued To
discharge volleys into the retreating
shrieking multitude. Thirty-one per-
Sons were killed and many wounded,
and Of the latter Il Is believed fifteen
will die.
The shooting Is described as hav-
ing been quite unprovoked. II has
aroused most intense indignation
among all classes in Warsaw. Many
Of those who were killed and wound
ed were shot In the back, showing
they were running away when they
were struck.
