warsaw, June Ei-l:l0 q. ma very
heavy downpour of rain which set in
early last evening has apparently
checked the riotipg in this city for the
time being, as the townspeople are
keeping close to their residences and
the soldiers have the thoroughfares to
themselves. 1t is the calm before the
storm, however, and scenes of blood
shed are expected today in every Sec
tiou of the city. Both the troops and
the people are in an ugly mood and
neither side is likely to show much
mercy. In answer 10 the revolutionary
proclamatiohs posted by the socialists
throughout the town the governor gen.
eral has issued warning that all per-
sons found with arms in their posses
sion will be shot down without mercy.
RENEWED RIoTING.
There was renewed rioting last night
ut sundown but quick action by the
troops soon gave them the upper hand.
At one time five separate fights were in
progress and necessitated the ordering
out of all of the infantry reserves. In
Ogrodowa, Krochmalna and Wronita
streets, where the mob had erected bar
ricades of street cars and telegraph
poles, on top of which were displayed
red flags, the military charged and fl
naliy secured possession of the barri-
Cades, after fatally wounding ten OF the
defenders.
In Zelazna street the Cossacks
charged a detachment of rioters using
their swords and whips. Three per-
sons were killed and a number wound
ed
In Center Market Hall the crowd at
tackled an infantry patrol with revol-
vers, and the soldiers replied with
volley, which fatally wounded three.
BOY SHOT DEAD.
In Lezno street a boy was shot dead
for jeering at trooper. A short dis
tance away a party of five workingmen
who had refused to obey the general
strike order were attacked by party
OF strikers as they were returning to
their homes, and all five were shot or
stabbed TO death.
Two hundred arrests were made by
the troops of persons accused of post
Ing revolutionary proclamations on the
walls of public buildings. Soldiers are
stationed at all of the principal street
corners, and every avenue of approach
to the government buildings is guard
ed.
TREACHERY OF POLICE.
The leaders are warning the people
against secret police agents who are
circulating among the workingmen and
endeavoring to incite them to open re-
volt. Their method is to whisper to
little groups that Now is the time to
strike for free Poland" and after
getting them into a state OF frenzied
excitement, to lead them into narrow
streets WI ere they have small chance
to defend themselves. Cossacks who
have been hidden in ambush then rush
forth and attack them. Many persons
have been killed or manned for life in
this way.
Two Cossacks attacked Jewish girl
In the street yesterday and when she
resisted deliberately murdered her.
JEWS FLEEING.
Owing to the circulation of rumors
that another Jewish massacre had been
planned, more than 10000 Jews left
Lodz today. Because they had fired in
the air when ordered to shoot down
rioters, all Jewish soldiers have been
transferred to regiments outside Of Po-
land and their places filled with men
who can be depended on to fire to kill.
The officers of the Murom regiment of
dragons called upon the commander
of the troops IL the district and told
defenseless and unarmed men and
women. The commander Immediately
had the regiment transferred to st.
Petersburg.
Warsaw, June 26.-(Via the From
tier, June 27)-Rioting has given place
to revolution not alone in Warsaw, but
throughout all Poland, and the scenes
and incidents OF today throughout this
ancient country practically beggar de-
scriptiOn, and the end Is not yet In
sight Hundreds of men and women
have been shot, and the enormous
quantities of troops hurried into Po-
land by the authorities at st. Peters

their arsenals, while mob rule pre-

the people and the soldiers have taken
