U hour.. At thl. moment the mounted
republlr-an ruard are patrolling certain
part of the city and all of the police were
on the alert
About a etre of people are tald to have
been ar1ouly wounded. In the varloua
freo Ittita which have broken the monot
ony of (he Partnlao Sunday. In one quar
ter alone over to arreata have ben made.
Of theae M have been kept and the othcra
IHerted.
Among the latter la Frantla de preanie,
one or the nrat autnoritii-a on foreign pon
tlta In France, and a leading writer of
the Tempa. With him were arreated it,
Erneat Vaugtin. director of the Attrore,
ana a. uornarat. another or the T-mpa
editorial staff. All three were to bnve ad
dressed a meeting In favor of revision In
the Dreyfus case. This manifestation wa
announced to be held in the Balle Wag
rem.
M. Paul de Relouae, the French patri
otic specialist, haa declared he was going
to turn up at the meeting with a strong
contingent of "true Frenchmen" and
naturally at thla antl-revixlonlsts proper
of the Salle Wagram greir alarmedsand
called on the police to keep both camps
out f the hall.
When M. de Presense and his colU aguf
arrived at the meeting phv-e they found
it shut and surrounded by a strong cor
don of police, busily engaged In keeping
back a crowd variously estimated at from
12.000 to J0.00O persons.
In spite of the protests of M. de Pres
ense'e party, which had paid the rent of
the hall, the police refused admission to
any one. Arguments and expostulations
were both unavailing, aa the brigadier of
the police remained Inexorable.
The crowd, however, had grown Im
patient or bolder, for It finally broke
through the ting of polices From crushing
to giving b!o-s waa but a step and many
took It. The police agents returned them
with Interest In the shape of arrests. At
once the light became great. The police
made a charge and drove the crowd back
to the place des Ternes.
Blood flowed In abundance from noses
and In the mldule of the riot the three
organisers of the meeting were arrested
by order of M. llounter. the police divis
ion commissary, and led off to the station.
Th-y there found company enough and to
spare, almost all bearing the marks of
having been handled with anything but
care.

DENVER, Oct S.-In the court-martial

tropics he was attacked with a severe Ill
ness, Including terrible pains In the back

of a physician. At the naval hospital In

clear Ideas of what he Intended to say,
but could not be certain what he did
actually say.

latlon regarding American pork wiis made

ment In the semi-official press today that
It has received Information showing that
American pork: has entered Germany

tates their removal north. Sickness Is

. THE PEACE COMMISSION.
PARIS, Oct 1 The peace commission
today adjourned until Friday. A repre
sentative of the Associated Press learns
that the session was highly Important and
that the Americans have made a demand
of such a character that the Spaniards
find It necessary to ask for adjournment
In order to enable them to consult with
the government at Madrid,
It Is believed that the question concerns
the Philippines, and it Is known that the
Americans are highly pleased at having
so soon reached what they consider the
very Important phase of the negotiations,
and they consider the two sessions' thus
far held as very satisfactory to America
The fact that a member of the commis
sion expressed the belief that the work
would be completed within a month indl
catcs a happy frame ot mind.
In the Spanish camp great hopes are
built on what they believe General Mi.r-
ritt will advise, namely, that the Philip
pines are Incapable ot self-government,
and that the whole situation does not
warrant America In taking the responsi
bility for the entire Philippines. The
Spanish commissioners are quite ready
to give whatever America asks In the way
of coaling stations, but will resist more
to the verge of a renewal of hostilities.
SPANISH DON'T LIKE IT.
MADRID. Oct. I-The reported Inten
tion of the United States government to
retain the whole of the Philippines has
created almost a state of stupefaction
here, and It Is seml-ofBclally announced
that the Spanish government has resolved
to vigorously combat any action which,
It Is claimed, the terms of the peace pro
tocol preclude.
