Chicago's Reign of Terror, Ci1cAGo, $May 5.—[Special Telegram.|— The occurrences of last night have created a tremendous sensation. Nothing else is talked of and th st excitement and in- dignation preva Forty-four names of the woundea fill nine full pages of the register at the county hospital. In- the corridor before 6 o'clock wasa group of men and women, friends most of them of the police officers, anxious to mquire after or to see them. The attendants were haggard and excited, The first patrol brought the dead body of Offcer Diegan here a little after 10 o'clock. ¥rom thaton until 6 o'clock this morning the am- bulances and police patrol wagons were con- stantly ing with wounded. The whole staff of physicians and attendants was ealled in and everybody was devoted to the care of the injured. A little tab is kept at the desk of the men who are in a precarious condition. Marvellous as it may seem, all of these are police ofticers. There are eight civillans in the wards, and not one is fatally or even sc ly hurt. The entire police force of the city i5 on duty, and should they come in contact with the mob to-day. THEY WILL SHOW NO MERCY, Three hundred of them have been armed with Springfield August Spies is under arrest. He was captured by tho police at 8 o'clock this morning. The anarchist and incendiary editor of the Arbeiter- tung, who was the firstone to address the meeting at Desplaines and Randolph streets, who oceupied the wagon from which the dynamite bomb was thrown which did such bloody work last night, who was one of the speakers at the mob meeting on the prairie near McCormick’s Monday afternoon, whoso words inflamed the miob until it was ready to burn down the great factory, had the tewerity to appear in the editorial rooms of his paper this morning. Here he met his brother and a man named Sehwab, associate editor of the paper, who were his associates in these incondiary har- angues, They met at 107 Fifth avenne to tallc over the scenes of last night and were taken by detectives to the Central station As the news spread through the city that the leaders of the nihilistic mob were safely caged, ex- sions of the liveliest satisfaction were rd on every haud.

Detectives Bonfield and Dufty entered first. “Are you August Sples?”” Bonfield inquired, directing his look at the anarchist. Spies’ thin lips PARTED IN A SICKLY SMILE, and he displayed two rows of shin- ing teeth, Mo lesitated & moment before speaking and with the arttul tact of a malevolent disposition gavg tho officer the full beneflt of his tantalizing smile. At length his lips moved and in a weak and husky voice, in alarming contrast to his smile of simulated Indifference, e made answer: “Yos, Lam August Spl “Well,” roplica Bonfield *we want you, and you oo, said the officer turning to Spies’ brother and Bditor Sehwab, the ltter was deathly white and s hands trembled as Lo put on Lis hat, Cluis Spies was inclined 1o be ugly, while the prisouers were being searched, They east thelr oyes to the floor and scemed the very PICTURES OF ARBANT COWARDICE, The oflicers were too Indignant to speak and whilo the men's clothing was being overhauled simply glared at them as if it would be a pleasure to annililate them on tho spot, Orders wore issuied 10 allow 1o vne 1o speak to the prisoners, THE BOMD THROWER CAGED, Tho man who threw the boub at last night's viot was arrested to-day aid 1s now locked up. at the Central station, 1hs name is Jufins Carpenter, The police elaim to have ample proof that he is the mau, and Lieutenant Kipley says that the publie need have no fear of evil from bombs. ‘Ihe twenty-five print- ers who wero arested at the Arbeiter Zeitung building were brougat befere Justice Leech held on the eharge of murder till May 14, rpenter is saia to ba ove of tielr nunbe “Plie fellow stood In tront of John Burnett, a candy makor in the employ of Mr. Barry, at the corner of Washington and Sangamon streets, and was seen by hiw to throw the missile of death.

This is doubtless wholly owing to the fact that the police are to-day armed with rifles, and have strict orders to compel all loungers and idlers to “‘moveon.” At Eighteenth street and Center avenue, the headquarters of the anarchists in that neighborhood, a small crowd gathered early and seemed somewhat agitated over the reports of last night's dyna- mite explosion and the riot which followed, but no demons fon was made. Ltudolph Steinberg, a McCormick machin- ist, unmarried, and aged 30 years, whose home isat 503 Blue Island avenue, was attacked by the mob at Eighteenth street and Center aveaue last night and_beaten into insensi- bility.
