oy SIXTEENTH YEAR. THE SITUATION 1N BELFAST | The Dreadful Riots of the Past Few Days Drawing to An End, FRENZIED WORK OF THE MOBS. Religions Differences For the Bloodshed—Statements of the Situation From Both Cath- olic and Orange Standpoin Responsib) The Belfast Situation. Brrrast, August 10—[New York Herald | Cable—Special to the Br he city has | been remarkably quiet to-day, and many people express hopes that the riots are finally over. A full Jist of casualties up to 8 p. m. includes only a lamplighter's throat cut by atholics in the small hours of Iast night, the stoning of some catholie mill girls on their way to work by & party of protestant women, two catholics seve wounded by gun shots from a house while o n their way to the burial of a body shot a few days azo, and an attack on protestant Iaborers by catholics, using stones instead of pistols fortunately. A QUIET PROCESSION. “The procession of orange workmen com- ing home fron the dock yards passed through the cattiolic distriets this evening without rioting, so that the surgeons were spared the work usually made necessary by the broken bottles aud jagzed iron bolts commonly used for weapons on such oo In order to prevent the “Island boys” from riotine the troops lined both sides of the street through the catholic quarters, each cross-street being closed by a cordon of police nounted, with a second cor- don half a block up. Strong bodies of cav- alry preceded and followed the returning workmen, who passed waving their hats, cheertag and yelling. Of course ALL BUSINESS 18 STOPPED in these streets. Foran hour or more the Catholies sullenly watched the procession pass. Both sides were anxious for a fight, and were only restrained by the overwhel- ing torce of troops and police. CATHOLICS TROTEST. Ata meeting of catholics held to-day a pro- test was made against the unfairness of the protestant magistrates, A petition was drawn up for their removal. Mr. Biggar and s eral other members of parliament were pres- ent. It was alleged by several priests that the eatholics caught in the mobs were impris- oned for six months, ‘while the protestants were let off with a ten shillings fine by the protestant justices. Father Green stated that every evening the orangemen used as weap- ons iron bolts taken from the yard of the mayor of Belfast who had previously never allowed such valuable iron to be taken away trom his vard VIEWING I rode to- ons. THE BATTLE GROUND. over Sunday’s battle ground, where early on Sunday the protestants and catholics spent four hours in firing at _ each other from behind trees, stone walls, ete. The details already given of this fight are proba- bly unauthentic, but several catholies con- fess that twenty-seven dead catholies were carried off the field, Catholie priests tell me that probably all were buried secretly beneath the floor of houses, as was done in the riots of 1864, The spirit of the people is shown by the of a man killed while firing from a_window. He fell back in his wife's arms, and said, “Don't let the orenge devils know they have killed me.” In front of many houses I notice the cobble stones have beén loosened ready for use in ease of emcrgency. Wlen the omergency eomes the children act as powder monkeys. They keep the cobble magazine full. THE PRIEST AND CLERGY. One or the peculiar teatures of the recent Tiots has been the leading part taken by the protestant clergy and the catholic priest 1 anything were lacking to show that religi- ous differences are responsible for the riots the ndvice given to the rioters by their p tors completes the chain of evidence. course, both the priests and protes clergy have advised against tual violence, but mevertheless have exhiorted their congregations never to give up riofing. The Rev. Dr. Kane, of Chirist ehurch, Leing the principal protestant leader, lias gone so far as to tell the mayor and nagistrates that the police must be dis- armed ab once and removed from the orange quarters, else 2,000,000 armed orangeme; would take the ritles and revolvers from the police, peaciably if possible, forel- bly if necessary. As an answer to Dr. Kano the mayor ordered all the police from the Orange quarter, with the result so far of an entire cessation of hostilities in that part of Bolfast. A pron ot ant ac- they ANT MINISTER TALKS, Isaw Dr. Kane this morning. He ““The riot was caused by the exasperation of the catholics at the defeat of home rul Lhis exasperation against the orangemen extended 1o the police, who are largely eath- oli ¢ result is that the catholic mobs who invaded the protestant quar- ter were protected by the pol who then fired on the orangemen, who were merely protecting th They have a responsible lawyer who s will- ing to swear ho saw the police open their ranks to allow the catholic mob to pa through to attack the orangemen. ‘When this mob was repulsed the police again opened thelr ranks ~and allowed the catholics to pass through unin- Jurea, but they fired buckshot at the protest- ants, who, of course, were greatly enraged at fuch seandalous treatment by the police, ULSTER AN OBANGE STRON GHOLD, ‘This is but a sample of the whole, If Glad- stone’s separation bill had not been brought in we should now be as peaceful as we have been for the last twenty-five years, If the howme rule bill had been passed all Ulster would be now engaged in A desperate civil war, The orangemen have shown in these riots such desperate courage that we don't fear the result of such a war if the necessity arises for it I have told the wmagistrates it 1s pos- siblefor them to exterminate the orange pop- ulation of Ulster but it is not possible to sub- dueit, Lknow thatabout twenty protestents have been killed in these riots and many more catholies have been killed. ‘There are about one hundred and uinety thonsand protestauts 1o Lifty thousand catholics in Beltast.” THE CATHOLIC SIDE, Father Green, a prominent catholie priest, who has worked for twenty years in Belfast, said: *Ihe real rioting began when the pro- testant bands paraded the ity on tue day of Dr. Hannal's Presbyterian picnie, playing ‘Kick the Pops’ ‘Boyne Water,) ete. ‘The catholic bands are not allowed to parade the city at all. The rioting was condinued by aggressions on the part of the protestauts. Look, for instance, at the daily psrade of orangemen cowing home from the wayor's works. They warch B campact body throuzh the catholic quarter, cheering, howling and cursing at the catho- Mes.

A FIGHTING MINORITY, “We are in the wivority, but we are & fighting minority, Of co the priests cannot always control the people under such provocation. The fact is, the catholic min- ority knows that when the police are with- drawn they can always whip the protestant majority This rioting will go on as long as the protestant magistrates interfere unjustly amst the eatholics, If someone would hang all the borough rioting would stop to-morrow. ‘Then the police would fire volleys, a Americans didat Ch 1 of only irritating the mob wit single shots, I think that afew buckshot fired into every mob which gathers, whether protestant or catliolie, would quickly settle the rioting. PHIESTS AS PEACEMAKENRS “The difference in religion is of course at the bottom of all this trouble. I greatly fear the necessary firmmess will not be shown toward the mob, in_which case the rioting is likely to continue indefinitely with increas- ing violence.” 1t must be said for the pri that in spite of their enurch-militant they apparently do the utmost in their power to prevent and stop the riots The eatholic quarter ot Belfast 1s now divid- ed into districts with a priest in charge of each, The pricsts never leave the streets un- il three or four o'clock in the morning. They expose themselves recklessly when the firing is going on in their attempt to drive back the catliolies from the disorderly districts, A MAGISTRATE'S OPINION, Mr. Johnston, the magistrate, said the se- vere rioting was due largely to the action of the residents and paid magistrates who called the catholic police to Bel- fast without comsulting the mayor and the local magistrates. This created jealousy among the “locals,” who first refused to co-operate with the resident magistrates when the rioting began. The po- lice certainly showed great lack of judgment in firing on the mob, when they should simply have made arrests. ‘The Instructions 10y are to arrest more and shoot less. NOT OVER YET. Reed, the inspector general of the Irish constabulary, expressed great doubt whether the rioting is over. “The police have been greatly but_unjustly blamed. Personally I Nave investizated the complaints of drunken- ness and careless shooting. 1 have found the men always sober. Iliey were forced to shoot in oraer to save their own lives. So many women and children have on Killed because they insist in taking art with the mobs. 1 risked my life several s during the firing in my attempts w0 w the women from the streets, 1 always failed and was only cursed for my trouble. Lam very willing to disarm the police, but it is 1ot possible to do s0.” TROOI'S GUARDING TIIE STREETS, Protestant Belfast now has patroi troops at nearly every corner. ‘The disturbed districts of catholic Belfast are equally well guarded by the police. It is certain the police mean s00n to attempt to resume duty in orange quarters, and a struggle is then expected, probabably a bloody one, The mayor informs me he will not sane- tion the proclamation of martial law except as a last extremity, as this would practicaliy forbid all traftic after dark—n thing nnpossi- ble in & city so large as Belfast. A PEACEFUL NIGHT. BELFAST August 11, 1 a. m.—I have just driven through all the disturbed parts of “the city and four patrols of troops and volice on nearly every corner in partics of six to @& dozen, This great show of force has prevented all rioting except a little wild shooting in which one or two persons were wounded. The outlook is peaceful and encouraging, although it is hard to tell what may happen when the exhausted police are withdrawn.

The vresence of the police tends to increase instead of suppress the dis- orders. ‘The protestants declare that the catholies were the aggressors by wrecking protestant houses, while the catholics are equally certain that the protestants wera the ageressors. Of one thing there is no doubt— never did two mobs of different religions dis- play a more bloodtnirsty desire to kill or maim each other.

Munitions of War Shipped to the Gulf From New York—Texas Frantic For the Fray—Ofiicial Opins 1onsin the Matter, The War Department Moving, WASHINGTON, August 10.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bre.)—-In spite of the denials and evasions of the war department, officers of the aruy assert positively to-night that the various bureaus of the department have been ordered to put their aifairs on a war footing and to be In readine:s {o respond should it be found necessary to make a demonstration towards Mexico. None of the army oflicers stationed here think that any serious results will follow the Mexican incident, but the belief is very genoral that the administration is preparing to take the necessary steps to convince Mexico that the United States is ready to enforce hier demands if an_oceasion for such_action shall be deemed to have arisen. Itis the Copitiion here that if the state de- went really intends to enforee the de- mands for the release of Cutting, it will be quite suflicient to send two or three thousand troops to the border and two or three men-o war to the Gulf, Mexico is not anxious for war, and it is thought that Cutting will be reledsed within a week if hostile demonstra- tions are made. Fight Or Back Down. WASHINGTON, August 10.—[Special Tele- gram to the BEk.J—A rumor was current here last night to the etfect that troops and war vessels are being massed on the Mexican border.

The sccretary of state hus demanded the release of Cutting. The Mexican government has declined to comply with the demand. The constitution provides that only congress shall declare war and whilg it is within the pros ince of the president to mass troops, and war vessels in_the neighborhood of ' Mexico, he eannot make any further hostile_demonsira- tions and the Mexicans know it as well as we do. Unless some action 15 taken towards en- forcing the demand for Cutting’s release, he will in all probability remain in prison, un- less hie is hanged in the meantime.” tone by Still More Rumors. WASHINGTON, August 10.—[Special Tele- gram to the BEr.|—There are some rumors about town of impending naval and military movements agamst Mexico, but they c as yet be construed into anything definite or rtling. They may be, perhaps, indicative of a determination on the part of the govern- ment to be forchanded and prepared for an emergency. The Galena was ordered oto the Gulf last week, and this action certainly does give rise to much comment in army, navy and volitical circles, it being considered an extraordinary proceeding in time of peace. The Vandalia and Juniata were ordered to Valparaiso last Friday, and it is whispered by knowing ones that it would not be sur- prising if thase ships, when they ston at Key West for supplies, should be intercepted there by dispateiies directing their course to the Guif. As to our other availablo naval mate- rial, there are three or four ships at Portland thad sight be ordered off in a” stuilar way, but it is not learned that they have been as yet. As for troops, there are now between four and five thousand soldiers In the south- western_territories which could be easily marched to the Mexican frontier. But if any such movement were contemplated it would probably be directed by sealed orders unless the puriose of the government were to over- awe and frighten Mexico. “But no public or- ders have been Issued, and if there are any sealed orders en route’ the war department, would of course keep them secret, Shipping War Material. rw Yonrk, August 10.—[Special to the Ber.|—There was activity at the arny ports atand near New York yesterday and com- munication with Washington was continu- ous.
