ROME. Feb 25.--Aiarn1ing reports of disorders in the province of Bari. in consequence of conflicts between socialists and members of the Fascist. or extreme Nationalist party, in which several persons were killed, are given in special edition of the Epoca In the first encounter. it is said, an ex- treme Nationalist and a Socialist were killed. others were wounded and the chamber of labor of the town of Miner vino Murse was storrned and burned
 Tbereupon, adds the newspaper. the Socialists proclaimed a general strike Obeyed among others by the employees of the electric light plant. leaving the town without light A fresh encounter followed and the killing of another member of the Fascist added to the excitement. According to Epoca, the Socialists formed armed bands of peasants which, if says. wandered throughout the country in search of extreme Nationalisfs and land owners and devastated property and poisoned water used by cattle. Three bodies arc declared to have been found in a farm house burned so badly it was impossible to identify them.
 Because of the vastness of the dis turbcd area, the reports add, the local police and soldiers were unable to cope with the situation. Numerous troops and royal guards were hastily dis patched by the government, which is adopting the most energetic measures to re-establish order. The government has suspended the head of the police in the province on the ground that he did not act with sufficient promptness and determination to prevent the trouble.
 The number of dead at Mlnervino Murge up to the present is placed at six persons.
