SABRED THE RIOTERS The Cavalry Called Out to Quell Bel- gian Disturbances, HOMESTEAD MEN PLANNING T0 STRIKE English Dock Laborers Preparing to Quit. THE BOWIE MURDER CASE. RIOTERS CHARGED BY CAVALRY. ‘The Most Serious Disturbances Yet Exper- fenced in Belgium. Bavssexs, April 15.—The most serious dis- turbance that has yet occurred during the | Present agitation against the chamber of depu- ties for rejecting the universal suffrage bill took place last night at Joliment. Ina fight between the strikers and the gen- darmes one woman was killed and three of the strikers seriously wounded. The strikers bed been acting desperately all day and at night began to assemble in grest numbers. The gendarmes attempted to cidferse them and met with strong resistance. In the mob of rioters were a number of women, who, with shrill voices and flashing eyes, encouraged the men to give battle to the police, Spurred on by these women, the strikers fought despe: ately when the gendarmes attempted to driv them from the streets. Clubs and stones were freely used and there was a prospect of the mob getting the upper hand of the gendarmes when the order was given for the latter to draw their swords and charge the crowd. The order | was at once obeyed and slashing right and left the gendarmes mowed through the mob, which broke and scattered in every direction, hurling stones and any other baudy missile before they ran. After the rioters were dispersed it was found that one of the women had been hit with a sword and killed and that three men had beon so badly wounded that they could not get away | from where they had fallen. The wounded were removed to a hospital and the body of the woman toa morgue. FURTHER TROUBLE EXPECTED. ‘The affair has caused great excitement and further trouble is apprehended. The labor leaders, many of whom are socialists, are striv- | ing in every way to make the strike | general. In Ghent their efforts are mect- ing with success and every day fresh accessions are gained by the strikers. ‘The situ- ation is acute, but the government is vigilant. | ‘The strikers in Ghent are causing great excite- ment in that town. Among the men who have quit work are a large number of weavers. The more orderly persons enguged in that oceupa- tion refuged to join the strikers, and the fact greatly incensed the strikers. GHENT RIOTERS ATTACK THE WORKING WEAVERS. | Today the latter determined to force the working weavers to leave their looms, and in | consequence a bloody riot ensued. The riot- ers, numbering hundreds, attacked the workers and severely injured many of them, The po- lice were promptly at the scene, but they were powerless to handie the mob. The strikers, aided by the usual crowd of loafers and yagabonds, turned on the police, and though the latter had the advantage of being armed they were put to rout. The police captains were quite badly wounded, presumably by the stones fired at them. The entire portion of the city in which the turbance occurred was in at uproar, The ikers, after the retreat of the police, took ossession of the quarter and aeted in a most isgraceful manner. THE MILITARY CALLED OUT. ‘The civil authorities finding that the riot was growing worse every minute called upon the military for aid. Under orders from the cen- tral authorities, which appears to realize the gravity of the movement, the troops were ready to render assistance whenever called upon. A detachment of cavairy was ordered to dis- perse the mob. They at once proceeded to the scene of the rioting, and upon the order to dis being greeted with derisive yeils they charged the mob. ‘The latter fled precipitately when they saw the, cavalrymen riding with drawn swords w them ‘and sought refuge in houses and alley ways. Not all escaped, however. Some of the less fleet of foot were knocked down and trampled upon by the horses, while others were struck by swords and badly hurt. HOMESTEAD MEN TO STRIKE AGAIN, It is Said That They Are Preparing for An- other Struggle. Curtaco, April 15.—A special from Pitte- burg, Pa., says: There are good reasons for believing, in spite of reports to the contrary, that the men in the Homestead steel works are getting ready to strike again July 1. The men have been secretly organizing and are now said to be #o | well prepared that they believe themselves equal to better contest. Homestead has the greatest mill in the coun- try, and it is urged that union labor cannot a! ford to have it remain non-union. One supret effort will be made to regain it. “Homestead” has been the countersign of the union lebor throughout the country during the past few months, and the leaders have not been idle, that the ground lost last summer | may be regained as soon as possible. ‘There has been much dissatisfaction among the men at Homestead. ‘They claim to have ail to gain and nothing to lose in case of another contest. ‘The Amalgamated Association officials have | nothing to say and dismiss the subject with the | remark that they are not posted on Homestead | affairs, but are sure the men there know what to dg. Chairman H. C. Frick will be back from Europe May 1. The Carnegie officials know just what is going on at their mills. polatcbs es saci NO FLAGMAN WAS OUT. A Rear-End Collision on the Reading Which Caused a legrapher to Faint. Bovxp Brook, N. J., April 15.—A rear-end collision occurred at about 5 o'clock this morn- ing on the Philadelphia and Reading railroad | at Skillman station. ‘Three men were seri- ously injured—Jobn Hillaiard of Elizabeth, Frederick Francis of Jersey City and Claude Flavia of Philadelphia. The men were all in the rear of the express train, No. 546, which was stopped at Skillman for orders. ‘The ph operator at Skillman fainted when he saw the accident and it was some time before he could be restored to consciousness. The rear engine had not been flagged. poamcsed tate TO STRIKE IN ALL PORTS. Action Taken in London by Representa- tives of English Dockmen.
