suruassed all the horrors of Red Sunday" in
St. Petersburg
Since the arrival of reinforcements this morn
,pg actual fighting in the city has stopped, but
.he outbreak is by no means quelled, and fresh
collisions are expected momentarily.
The city resembles a shambIes, and the ter
rble scenes of the last two days will never be
Usped from the memory of the Polish people.
Altogether there are ten regiments encamped
IN LodE.
The fighting spirit of the people is fully
.nonsed. They have tasted blood and want
more. Certainly the revolutionary spirit is
.hroad and it remains to be seen whether mill
,sry measures will have the same effect as they
previously did
To-day at Baluty, suburb of LODI, four Co.'S
sscks were killed and sixteen wounded by a
somb which was thrown into their barracks.
Twenty-three of their horses were killed.
voLLEY FIRING STILL HEARD.
Occasional volleys are still fired by police or
rendarmes in response to shots from houses
The soldiers are showing what appears TO be
,rsnton cruelty. Late this afternoon they shot
s,d killed two women, a mother and her daugh-
fer.
The funerals of victims of the shooting of
Thursday and Friday took place to-day sur
rentitiously in various outlying villages
It is quite impossible to give the exact num-
her Of killed and wounded, as reports vary
according 10 the quarter from which they are
.r-- Szra n
dred and the wounded five times as many An
official report says that the number OF casuaIues
was largely increased by persons who neglected.
70 remain indoors and insisted on looking out
of doors and windows when volleys were being
fred bv soldiers at rioters. Residents OF the
city say they received no orders TO remain in
doors.
THE CaTFsE OF THE OUTBREAK.
The +rou,,le began at Lodz last Tuesday after
ths funeral of the victims Of the conflict be-
tween troops and socialists on the previous
SUNDAY. The Christians were permitted TO Duiy
their dead but the Jews We're proh1bited from
doing so. and the police secretly buried the
bodies of the Jews at night This excited IN
dignation and socialist riots were starred on
Thursday.
The most serious phase of 1t was wnen tue
crowd deliberately pillaged liquor shops. ana
numbers of persons, inhamed by drink, led
crowd of at least fifty thousand to further anu
more serious attacks Police and military were
attacked wherever they appeared in small force
and many of them were killed
After pilIaging liquor shops the crowd set hre
70 tbano and prevented the firemen from put
zinc o,,+ +ha flames. This was repeated delib-
erately at many places
On Friday the fury of the mob found fuil
vent Even children, caught by the contag1on'
were seen kissing red flags and heard swearing
that they were ready to die for liberty. A jew
ish girl mounted a box in the market square and
a5dressed an immense crowd Suddenly the
police appeared and fired volley, and the girl
fell dead.
Market gardeners coming in were stopped ana
their carts were used in building barricaues.
Wires were stretched in front of these barri-
cades and the cavalry was unable to charge
sTATGHTER OF THE POPULACE-
Meanwhile the mob had obtained arms and
rAvoIvers were freely used. Finally the mill
tarv got the upper hand, but not without con-
siderable losses 10 themselves and fearfui
SLAUGHTER TO the rioters. The soldiers eAhioi'eu
the utmost carelessness whether they hiheu
,escsf,,I rersons or rioters and in consequence
many women end children were among the
dead.
Tho s4-oo,s IN Friday resembled battlefield
The houses were barricaded with boards and
mattresses, and for hours volieys anu ihoi'iduai
firing were heard in every quarter OIL lne CITY
Un-ate at night the Cossacks were pusy COZ
LEI = the bodies of the dead and plchlhs up
nersons seriously wounded The bodies We're
carried off In carts to neighboring churchyaros'
and II is therefore impossible te give an accu
rate estimate of the dead until order is coin
petely restored if, indeed the full story Is ever
told
Socialists are energetically fomentng agliauol
among the soldiers by distributing reVoiuuoh
ary proclamations and pamphlets, but their el
forts are without effect
Shooting was renewed this evening.
Cossacks are robbing the dead OF jewels aho
money.
