FATAL RIOTS IN ITALY.
LabOrers Have Landlords in State of
Siege at ApuIia.

Rome, Oct 5-The recent conflicts be-
tween landowners and laborers in Apulia
eliminated to-day in violent riots. in
which the troops were compelled to use
their arms
While several landowners were going to
their properties near Ruvo they were at
tackled by n great number Of Iaborers
who ordered them to return to the town
on their refusal the laborers beat them
with sticks, and the landowners answered
by firing revoIvers, killing one man and
wounding others. The troops. hearing the
reports Of firearms, rushed to the spot
and succeeded in rescUing the IandOwn-
ers from the mob. which was bent on
lynching them.
The rioters dispersed, returned to the
town, and assaiied all the houses Of the
landlords. In many cases the occupants
held them till the arrival Of soldiers. but
in others the rioters succeeded in forcing
a way in and committing various acts of
vandalism. The troops were again COM
PEELED to use their arms, and many rioters
were wounded with the bayonet
The town is in the greatest excitement,
as the number of soldiers is insufficient
TO maintain order in the surrOundinc
country. Up to the present, however. the
landowners outside the town are holding
their own.
