WARSAW, May 1.-The May day
death roll totaled sixty-two, including
ten persons who died in the hospitals
during the night. Probably 200 were
wounded.
Crowds gathered at the Tenth dis
trict police station this morning,
where thirty victims, men and women,
and three children, were awaiting iden-
tification.
Some minor disturbances occurred to-
day in different sections of the city,
but no casualties have yet been re-
ported.
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 con-
cealed. The soldiers evidently were
nervous, and open outbreaks resulting
in a repetition of yesterdays terrible
scenes were only averted by the evil
dent desire of the authorities to pre-
vent a clash, coupled with the fear in
spired by the soldiers bullets. The
population is most bitter against the
military, and the government officials
expect many attempts at revenge upon
the officers commanding the troops, all
of whom are known.
The Polish press is silent ON the sub
ject of yesterdays happenings. The
official Russian paper prints a short
and entirely inaccurate report The
governor general of Warsaw is said to
be greatly upset by the turn of affairs.
Will Celebrate Anniversary
The nationalists have arranged the
usual demands for tomorrow, the
Hath anniversary of the proclamation
of the Polish constitution, and dis
turbances are highly proba BILE. The
workmen are in an ugly and uncer-
tain mood. The workmen in all the
factories struck today, and great efforts
are being made to bring about gen.
eral strike, but this is not likely TO be
successful. The people have not yet
recovered from the exhaustion and
losses resulting from the last strike
Reports conflict regarding the begin
ming of yesterdays encounter in Jeru-
salem street. According To the most
generally accepted version the au.
thorities had forbidden workmen
marching i'm procession TO carry red
flags, but the workmen decided to
ignore the order. When the process
sion reached Jerusalem street the police
ordered the workmen to stop, but they
refused to do so, and police officer
thereupon fired revolver. giving Il
signal for the infantry to fire. 1t APP
pears that In other cases the demon
strators We're the aggressors. but that
I'm this instance the soldiers fired
first.
Strikes Rapidly Spreading
The people are deeply eXasperatsd
over the sanguinary results of yes
terdays encounters. The strikes in
augurated on large scale here at
IIodz and other cities are rapidly
spreading, and $4,000 persons are out
on strike In Lodz. Cossacks are pa
trolling the streets of Warsaw by
companies, on account of the danger tc
smaller detachments.
A great crowd which gathered to-
day i'm front of the police station tc
which the corpses of those killed or
Monday had been taken and demanded
the bodies OF their dead, was dispersed
by Cossacks.
According to an official statement
