who did not spare criticism of what was gen.
orally termed wanton slaughter The popular
irritation could not be concealed. The soldiers
were evidently nervous, and outbreaks whica
would have resulted in repetitions OF yesterdays
terrible scenes were only averted by the evil
dent desire OF the authorities to prevent a
CLASH coupled with the fear inspired by the
soldiers bullets. The population is most Bit

officials expect many attempts at revenge on
the officers commanding the troops.
ATTEMPT TO HIDE THE LOSSES

yesterdays happenings The Official Russian,
paper prints a short and entirely Inaccurate re-

demonstrations for tomorrow. the 114th ami

detachments.

the workmen to stop. but they refused to do
so. and police officer thereupon fired a re,-ol

were the aggressors but that in this instance
the soldiers fired first.

In this encounter the troops also used the

swords. Many women and children had their
