BULLETINS.

London, April 21. —Ten thousand strikers, mostly munition workers, tried to burn the town hall at Magdeburg on Friday, according to a dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Oldenzaal, Holland. Soldiers fired on the rioters, killing and wounding many and the town is, in a state of siege. Copenhagen, April 19. —According to the Berlin Vorwaerts the strike continues everywhere in Berlin and Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg’s reply to a deputation of workers from the Deutsche Waffen and Muntions Fabrik, of Berlin, *was a declination to assume the task of arbitrator. Amsterdam, April 20.—More than five hundred German fusiliers, sailors and landstrumers on Monday evening tried to cross the Dutch-Bel-belgian frontier from the environs of Kjnocke to near Cadzand, Holland, says the Handelsblad, but the attempted desertion was frustrated after the party had been pursued and attacked by Uhlans. The deserters were fired on by the Uhlans with machine guns, and in a fight which lasted a half hour 38 of the deserters were wounded. The mounted guards along the frontier, the • newspaper added, have since been doubled.
