GREAT CUSS BOOM A NOISY WELCOME

Her Maje#ty Notable Contribution to tb« Naval Kovlew—Another French War Vessel and One from Hollt IB land Arrive.

APPKARANC& OF THK BKITONB. FORTKKSS MONROE, Va., April 18.— The biggest naval show ever seen in American waters dawned over Chesapeake lia.v Monday morning. Over a restless sea, silvered by a bright sunshine, came Great Britain's big cruisers, jacks Hying-, guns booming and pennants whirling. From a dozen mastheads, from forts and warships, all up and down the roads there began the rattlo and roar of salutes, nation saluting nation, rear admirals saluting vice admirals and flagships saluting commanders. Within the space of twenty minutes around 9 o'clock the forts and double line of ships shattered the. air with over 100 guns as the United States, Great Hritain, Russia, France and Italy paid their noisy respects to each other.

A Grand Sight.

Jt was truly a grand spectacle as her majesty's five cruisers came sweeping in to join the mighty warships already clustered in Ilampton roads. The mighty Blake led the way. She is the greatest ship that will be seen at the review. She is the heaviest, has the largest crew, and above all, she carries

ADMIRAL OlIEUAnm.

the British vice admiral, the ranking officer of the entire assemblage, a commander who takes precedence over the three American rear admirals and the only naval officer who is entitled to the glory of fifteen guns. Following the giant Hlake came the Magicienne, the Tartar, the Australia and the Partridge, all with the British jack flowing boldly from the bteius. All were trim and no description would tell how proud the Britishers looked as they came into the roads.

The Salutes.

Before the Blake was opposite the extreme east end of the American line the fort began to boom the national salute of twenty-one guns to the British flag. The Blake responded gun for gun. The other foreign vessels dropped anchor before answering, but the Blake bore down the line, firing as she went. As the fpvt finished the Philadelphia began its salute of fifteen to the vice admiral. The Blake gave fifteen guns to the American rear admiral: the Jean Bart,

THK U. 8. FLAGSHIP rHTT.AnEI.rniA. Giovanni Bausan and general admiral joined in with fifteen each for Vice Admiral John Hopkins, K. C. B., and the noise was as though a hundred thunderbolts were splintering themselves overhead. The British vessels came to a military halt in the places assigned to them. They brought the Blake almost directly south from the Philadelphia and not more than 400 yards distant, while the other four lay oft' in a line to the east almost parallel with the white cruisers of the first squadron, leaving a roadway in between through whlojt excursion steamers and smaller vessels may pass.

Paid HI. Respects.

Withiu half an hour after the Blake swung at anchor Rear Admiral Gherardi came over the waves in his white barge to pay his respeots to the vice admiral. The American commander wore a fulldress uniform with the heavy chapeau, while from the bow of his barge floated the admiral's flag and from the rear hung the stars and stripes. As the twelve American tars turned the barge into the starboard side of the Blake, the British band on the quarter-deck blared the salute. The marines in white helmets and red coats stood in a stiff line on the quarterdeck and presented arms as .Admiral Gherardi climbed the gangway and met Admiral Hopkins. The two shook hands and retired to the cabin. Five minutes later they reappeared, the band played, the marines threw on their muskets and with a polite bow or two Admiral Gherardi was on his way back to the Philadelphia. At his request the usual salute of thirteen guns was omitted.

Carried Holland's Flag*

Along toward 3:90 o'clock the people gathered along the water front saw a tall-masted ship bearing in toward the fleet. She did not have the build of a war vessel, but those who had field glasses saw that she carried Holland's flag. It was the Vail Speyk. She left Bermuda only a few hours after tlie British squadron and cauio iu on good time. When

CRAWFORDSVILLE,INDIANA, TUESDAY APRIL 18.1893.

she was a mile away the guns at the fort began to belelt the twenty-one salutes. The Van Speyk steamed slowly on her way and did not respond until she halted just south of the flagship, Philadelphia, where she began the return, after which she fired the rapid salutes to Admiral Gherarrli and Admiral Hopkins until the air was murky with Dutcli smoke.

Another Frenchman.

Just as the nerves of the populace were beginning to quiet the French vessel Hussard came Into the roads to ioin the Jean Bart, and all the riot was repeated. These two ships that came in are old-fashioned craft and might have

THE FRENCH FI.AOSHIP ABETIU'SE, gone by unnoticed if it had not been for their flags.

The Programme.

It is expected that to-day the yawl and cutfbr crews from various warships will have races in the roads. On Wednesday there will be gig and boat races by the crews of both native and foreign vessels, each member of a winning crew to receive a gold medal. I11 the evening Will come a naval ball, at which all the foreign officers are expected to be present in the glory of full-dress uniform and gold braid On Thursday Norfolk will have its great, trades' display along Main street, which is lavishly decorated. It is hoped that many of the naval officers will be induced to visit Norfolk on that day. On Friday Norfolk hopes to have a big military and civic parade, followed in the evening by a display of fireworks which will be visible from all the towns clustered around Hampton 'roads. Several yacht races are announced for Sat 11 rday.

A Pitched Battle at: Mous in Which Tour Strikers Are Killed—Mirny Other* Wounded—The Country Almost In a Panic.

ItTOTS GItOW WOliSE.

BRUSSELS, April 18.—The industrial revolution against the chamber of deputies is in full progress. The government has issued a decree calling out all the militia for the defense of the state. This means the mobilization of some 45,000 troops against the workingmen.

The feeling of unrest continues to spread. There is no denying the fact that the crisis is acute. Kxcited meetings in favor of universal suffrage stVe being held throughout the country. Everywhere impassioned appeals artmade to those who live by toil to join the great demonstration now in progress.

Using Dynamite.

The strikers at Mons have resorted to the use of dynamite to enforce their demands. A bomb exploded close to the Petit Wasines ohureh with great violence, shattering the stained glass window of the church and doing other damage. There is no clew to the perpetrators, but the act is generally ascribed to the socialists.

Savage Battle at Mons.

The strikers indulged in all manner of threats against the government, and as the day wore 011 t.liey became emboldened and determined to take posession of the town for a labor procession. When the mob attempted to march through the streets it was met by a strong detachment of the civic guard. No attention was paid to the order to disperse. Hooting and yelling they attempted to march on, and defied the guards to fire upon them. The guard fired upon the crowd, but this did not effect their dispersal. On the contrary it only infuriated them, and a charge en masse was made upon the guard. A desperate hand-to-haud conflict ensued. The main body of the strikers was broken up, but groups of struggling meu could be seen in tlie side streets leading from the main thoroughfare. The battle was long and bitterly contested, but finally the guards were victorious. It is known that four of the miners were killed. Many of the rioters were wounded and a number were taken to the hospital. The killing of the four strikers has added greatly to the excitement in the town and there is danger of a more serious outbreak. Men and women from the adjacent mining villages are flocking into Mons and the authorities are anxiously awaiting the events of the night, Mons is the center of the great Borinagc coal mining district. Three-fourths of all the miners in Belgium are employed in this district.

In the fight between the workinginen and civic guard in the streets of Mons fourteen soldiers were wounded. Three will not recover. They were removed" to the hospital, where tucir anti-mor-tem statements were taken for lie publie prosecutor.

KJot In Antwerp.

Many of the men employed at Antwerp in loading and discharging vessels and other work about the wharves did not quit work in obedience, to the Older of the men engineering the stu-ike. This inflamed the strikers, who made an attack on the workers. The gendarmes took a hand in the affray. The strikers were armed with revolvers and used them. The gendarmes were quick to respond, and it is thought that several of the strikers were wounded. A number of the ringleaders among the strikers were wounded.

Fighting in Ci'iimmiitit.

Some of the more enthusiastic and hot-blooded strikers at (irnmmont held an impromptu meeting at which flery speeches were made. The gendarmes attempted to break up tlie meeting, but met with stout resistance. The fight was transferred to the. street, and though the gendarmes had the advantage of arms and discipline thestrikers struggled desperately and were only dispersed after a long contest and after two of the gendarmes and a large number of the rioters were serisuslv wounded.

Almost a State of I'auic.

Extraordinary military measures will be adopted to-day to preserve order in this city. Strong reinforcements of chasseurs and carbineers are arriving with every train. All officers have received a city map on which is marked a neutral zone, from which the crowds will be excluded. In this zone are the Palais de la Nation, where parliament meets, all the ministerial bureaus and the royal palace.

It is reported that the premier has proposed to the king that parliament be dissolved and a general election held. .Tansen. the radical leader in the chamber, is said to have demanded an audience with the king. The anxiety as to the events of to-day is intense. The news from Mons and Antwerp lias stricken the more prosperous classes with ptnic. Tliore is a general tendency to urge the. deputies to decide speedily the question of suffrage and not to be loo sparing of concessions to the popular demand. in the Charle.roi district, where Ii0,000 miners are employed, work in the mines may be said to be at a standstill, for 20,000 of the miners have quit work and are riotous. Most of those miners are miserably poor and they and their families are bound to suffer.

TWIl.VI"V KNOWN TO IIE UK t). ATHENS. April 18.—The island of Zante has been visited by a destructive earthquake, resulting in great loss of life and property. The shock appears to have been most violent in the city of Zante. the greater part of which was destroyed. The people are panic stricken and the authorities helpless. The streets are impassable, being filled with masses of stone and timber, the wreckage of the houses which were thrown down by the earthquake.

Thus far the bodies of twenty persons killed by falling walls have been recovered from the debris and it is feared that many more dead arc still in the ruins. The number of persons injured runs up into the hundreds. Everything is in confusion, and the work of searching for bodies and for the injured cannot be pursued systematically.

Survivors in a I'nnlc.

The greater portion of the inhabit ants have fled to the plains back of the city, where they wander about in a distracted manner bewailing the loss of their homes and property. A large number of tents that were taken to Zante to shelter the people rendered homeless by the former earthquakes have been again set up nnd under tliein some of the women and children liave taken refuge. The city presents a scene of desolation. Outside aid will lie urgently required to prevent sickness and starvation.

The shock occurred at T:30 a. m. Most of the buildings that stood erect after the slioeksof February and March were either wrecked or shattered so as to be unsafe foroccupancy. The Church of St, Dionysius and the government offices were thrown down. Advices from the interior show that the whole island has been devastated. Many villages have been destroyed and it is thought that the loss of life has been very great. The full extent of the calamity cannot be estimated at pres ent. Warships will be dispatched from the Piraeus with clothing, provisions and medicine for the sufferers.

Previous Earthquake*.

This same island has had a number of subterranean disturbances in recent years, but nothing of the extent or seriousness of the present visitation. Only three months ago there was an earthquake here which caused great alarm among the inhabitants, but as the destruction which it. caused was comparatively slight it was soon forgotten.

The scenes at Zante recall tlie fearful experience of the island of Iseliia in July, 1883, when the city of Casamieeiola and other towns were almost totally destroyed ami when 1,500 people lost their lives. This same city of Casamieeiola also suffered a fearful shock in 1881, when 2Stl houses were destnyed and 114 lives lost.

In this same year, April H, 1S81.it will be recalled, the Italian town of Seio and several adjoining villages were demolished in a series of successive shocks which shook that country, destroyed about 4,000 lives, and caused much destitution among the homeless and maimed survivors.

The Stricken IDIIIIHI.

[The island Is'ubout 28 miles long ami I-J miles broad and is tlie third in extent but the Unit In productiveness of the Ionian group. It consists mainly of a plain covered with'viueyards of tbo small grains which, when dried, are known In commerce as "Zante currants." The production of olive oil is also very large. Some good wine Is made. The manufactures consist of white and blue cottonades, siilt stuffs, handkerchiefs and scarfs, horsehair cloths. Hoop. bricks and tiles. The name ol the island is said to bo derived from the founder of the chicf city, Zucynthus, au Arcadian chieftain. WRECKS ON THE ANN ARBOR.
