STRIKE RIOTS IN NEW YORK.
Italian Excavatora Canne Many Out
breaks and Trouble Police.
NEW YORK, May 5.? Trouble has
been caused all over the city by the
Italians who belong to the recently or
ganized Rockoien and Excavators' un
ion. This is the union which has prac
tically held up work on the subway
and on many excavations for buildings.
The strikers are In a turbulent uiood
and in their effort to extend their
strikes have caused riots, some of them
rather serious, from Brownsville to the
Bronx.
In Manhattan and the Bronx boroughs
the police were on a sharp lookout for
trouble, and they kept on the move
strikers who approached the subway.
Twice at least crowds of strikers of
considerable size gathered at subway
points on Forty-second and Sixty-fifth
streets, and it became necessary for the
police to use clubs to disperse the strik*
ers.
The worst strike troubles of the day
have occurred in Brooklyn, however.
The reserves of the Brownsville station
were called out to cope with a mob of
some 500 Italian strikers who tried to
intimidate laborers at the very door of
the station house. The police chased
the strikers for blocks, pounding them
with their clubs in return for a shower
of stones. Many arrests Were made,
and there were plenty of hurts to
dress.

THE OUTLOOK AT SALONIKA.
Oetaila of the Dynamite Outrage nn<5
Rlotinf.
ROME, May 5.? Except as to the
number killed, which Is now said not to
exceed a hundred, the latest advices
from Salonika fully confirm the previ
ous reports of the serious nature of the
outbreak there.
Advantage seems to have been taken
of the fact that the Turks had relaxed
their precautions and that the garrison
was seriously depleted, amounting to
only 400 soldiers. The first mine that
was exploded cut the principal gas
main and plunged the city into dark
ness. Then the Ottoman bank and oth
er buildings were attacked with bombs,
as already has been described. Soldiers
were hurried up to the scenes of dis
orders. They fired wild volleys, but
many of the attackers were killed or
wounded by the explosion of their own
bombs.
All attempts at throwing bombs are
now being dealt with summarily. A
man disguised as a Turkish priest tried
to throw a bomb into the telegraph of
fice at Salonika. He was apprehended
and executed on the spot. The authori
ties continue to make arrests, and
many Bulgarians disguised as Turkish
olficers are being seized. Among those
arrested are professors in a Bulgarian
school who are alleged to have been the
head of the revolutionary movement.
, Edib Pasha, who has arrived at Salo
nika to carry out the decree of martial
law, has issued a proclamation statiug
that the sultan has ordered him to deal
severely with all persons guilty of out
rages.
At Uskub the police have seized
stores of dynamite in the houses of
Bulgarian residents.
The news that Germany has ordered
a war ship to Salonika has led the Aus
trian newspapers to discuss the proba
bility of European intervention. In
both Berlin and Vienna, however, semi
official statements have been issued
explaining that the object of the shipa
of war is solely the protection of for
eign subjects and that the vessels will
be withdrawn as soon as the danger is
over. |
The arrival of an Italian squadron of
six vessels has contributed to the re-es
tablisliment of confidence among the
foreigners. Further disturbances are
not expected. The Italian commander
has given instructions for the effective
protection of his countrymen in case
of need. He will act in accord with
the other powers.
