Squares.
TRIESTE, Austria, Feb. 14.— This city
Is practically in the hands of riotous
etrikers. All the factories are closed and
the few stores which opened for business
vere compelled to close, owing to the
snobs which paraded the streets. Traffic
en the street railroads was suspended.
The headquarters of the Austrian
Uoyds Steamship Company, whose fire
men were the first to strike, were pro
tected by -a strong force of police,' who
repeatedly charged and attempted to
drive back the rioters. The military have
occupied the public squares ' and other
points of. vantage. The mobs frequently
stoned the police and some shots were
fired.
A meeting held this afternoon in the
Piazza Grande was followed by a street
fight, during- which the troops fired a vol
ley into the mob, six of whom were killed
and twenty severely wounded.
The meeting was attended by 4900 strik
ers. It was addressed by the labor lead
ers, -who spoke In a pacific vein, but owing
to the singing and hooting they could not
obtain a hearing.
After numerous scrimmages the con
stantly growing mobs of rioters attacked
— a company of troopers in the rear with
volleys of stones. A licuteriant was se- '
verely wounded and fell. His men then
opened fire, killing six. The further dis
persal of the rioters was accomplished
by the police with drawn swords, and
many men were wounded.
The labor leaders have consented that a
court of arbitration settle the dispute of
the strikers. Altogether 2p t 000 men of all.
traces have gone on strike. The tram
ways, the railroads and the newspapers
are all affected. The city is auiet to

_ "Before the bombardment of Manila
Admiral Dewey notified the foreign com
manders that he proposed to attack, and
he requested that they get out of the
way. ' The German and French anchored
on one side of the bay and the English
and Japanese took a position just in tha
American rear. In view of these cir
cumstances, is it strange that the senti
ments of the fleet at Manila were not
friendly to the Germans?
"It is true that the Germans offered to
surrender these persons to the Americans,
but Admiral Dewey had no place tor put
them and permitted them to be landed.
Just before the fall of Manila, a German
man-of-war conveyed the Spanish Cap
tain, General of the Philippines to Hong
kong.
. VThe Germans were constantly showing
their sympathy for i the Spaniards. When
ever their ships came In the harbor they
would ostentatiously salute the Spanish
flag. German ships brought to Manila the
families of Spanish officers who were sur
rounded by^ insurgents on Isla Grande.
"When Vice Admiral von Diedrichs sent
his flag lieutenant on board the Olympla
to complain at the interference of the
American ships. Admiral Dewey told him,
to tell his chief that if he wanted war he
was prepared to let him have it. This
declaration had a good effect.
That Message of Defiance.
"The German ships at Manila were con
tinuously running in and out of the har
bor, passing through the American block
ading line.' Launches were steaming about
the harbor at night, necessitating con
stant vigilance on the part of American
men-of-war, who might have fired on
them, mistaking them for Spanish tor
pedo boats.
"It jvas well understood in the Amer
ican squadron that . Vice Admiral von —
Diedrichs wanted the two remaining ships
of his squadron, which were with Prince
Henry at Kiachou, to come to Manila Bay
to reinforce him.
ner without special instructions. Instead
of sending one or evsn two ships to Ma.

Manila, he brought to the harbor five
vessels. «i,"'<

a most, disagreeable manner toward

Dewey and the Prince.
"Just before the war with Spain Prince
Henry and Admiral Dewey engaged in a
conversation in the course of which the
Prince stated that the powers would not
permit the United States to acquire Cuba.
"So far as Prince Henry is concerned
his relations with Admiral Dewey in the
Far East were quite pleasant. The only
unpleasantness that occurred was at a
banquet at Hongkong. ; Prince Henry did"
not refuse to toast the United States, as
reported. At the time Admiral Dewey' 3
rank was that of a commodore, and . his
country was toasted after another power,
