RIOT LIKE REVOLUTION.
Mob of $4,000 Compel Hungary to
Adopt Manhood Suffrage.

Budapest, Hungary.-The Socialist
proclamation of a general strike as a
protest against the election of Count
Tisza as President of the House Of
Representative had most serious
sequel in rioting, which resulted in the
killing of Is persons and the wounding
of about $50 others.
Only about one-third of the workers
obeyed the order to strike. To the
numbered $4,000 they marched through
the city attacking men at work, and,
being frustrated in their attempts to
hold demonstrations outside the Par
lament Buildings, resorted to reckless
violence, pillaging and destroying pro-
perty of all kinds.
The rioters stopped all traffic, built
barbados of street cars, demolished
hundreds of gas lamps, and came into
constant collision with the police and
troops.
Peace was restored only when the
Government agreed to introduce man
hood suffrage The Socialists declare
that they are satisfied with the result,
which is worth the sacrifices made.

Havana-The revolt of the blacks

The Government is rushing troops to

ally in Oriente, where an immense ma

Another serious danger Is the Gov

Revolt Grows Worse-5,0oo
to Cuell Rebellion.

Washington.-The uprising OF ne
groes in Cuba reached such an acute
stage that the United States took DEN
mite steps toward a third intervention
in the island republic.
The steps taken were the ordering
of ZOO marines from Philadelphia to
Guantanamo, Cuba, and the issuing OF
orders to 5000 United States regulars
to be ready to move to Cuba at once.
The 700 marines sailed on the naval
transport Prairie for Guantanamo,
Cuba, to join the marines from the
gunboats Paducah, Nashville and
Eagle. after which all will go into
camp at Guantanamo and be ready for
Gc!d service, carrying with them thlr-
ty days field rations.
In addition to calling out these 700
marines, orders were issued to the
commandments CT the stations on the
Atlantic coast, to hold the remaining
marines in readiness for duty in Cuba.
Several battleships of the North At
lantic feet have been directed to be
ready to proceed to Cuban waters for
the purpose of landing marines and
bluejackets.
This action followed the receipt of
appeals from Americans in Cuba for
protection of their lives and property.
Additional dispatches were received
from Cuba, stating that conditions in
the island were growing worse, that
thousands of negroes have joined the
uprising and that there is grave doubt
of the ability of the Cuban Govern
ment to cope with the situation.
