a clash between the striking workmen
of this city. The conflict was at the

The government Is greatly worried
today over the report that four mu-
tlnoua warships are cruising In the

uprising of Thursday have been post
poned.
Situation Is Critical.
The rank and file of sailors and sol
diers at the fort are extremely ugly,
and are conatantly threatening to re
new the rlo.ts. Thttje la no denying
that the local situation arrows. more
critical hourly. The city was In dark
nrss during the night, because of the

Some sailors of the technical corps
were placed In chsrge of the electric
lightning aystem this morning, but they
"ere not able to get the machinery

seems to be no doubt that It will be

The effect of the ordinance will be to

While the convicts maintain n sullen

been awaiting a favorable opportunity
to put them Into effect. It was finally
