ARNARCHIST DESPERADOES Held Police and Military at Bay fer Hours—Were Death Finally Burned to in Barricaded House. London, Jan. 3.—All London was stirred by the terrific battle waged to- day between anarchists on the one side and hundreds of police, infantry from the tower and artillerymen on the other. How many of the anarchistic | band took part in the engagement, which was fought in and around a barricaded house in Sydney street in the East End, is not definitely known, for so far, after a search of the debrie of the burned structure, portions of only two bodies have been discovered. The remains consist of the trunk and part of the head of one man and a few charred bones of another. Steady Rain of Bullets. It is the opinion of some that two | esperadoes alone for many hours hel® the police and military at bay.

Desperadoes Burned Out. A steady stream of bullets played between the contending forces and the guardsmen took up sheltered positions, firing volley after volley into the house. Piles of straw were cast in all direc- tions and lighted, in the hope that the desperadoes would be smoked out. At iast sparks were observed shooting from the windows, accompanied by clouds of smoke A detachment of firemen stretched their hose and threw water on the adjoining structures. Soon they di- recte their streams against the stronghold of the desperadoes, which was now hurning flercely. Driven from the lower fioors, the anarchists made their way to the roof. where, it seemed to the watching thou- sands, several forms could be per- ceived amidst the driving smoke. Then the roof collapsed and with it the men. | Not since the ne of the British disasters at the opening of the South African campalgn has the country been sed_as by today’s scenes at| tepney. .
