Bread Riot In Matanzas

New York, Oct. 19. - The Sun's Havana correspondent sends this account of a typical bread riot in Matanzas: The situation in Matanzas city is terrible. The pacíficos there asked the governor on last Friday to order the military stores to give them some food. Fifty pacíficos, in behalf of all the others, called on the goverr.or for that purpose. The governor, Senor Porrua, answered them roughly and refused them any help. The delegation then said to the gevernor: "We shall be obliged to take our food from the market by force." "Do it if you dare." replied Porrua. The fifty men returned to the huts cf the starving concentrados, telling them that they must either resign themselves to die of hunger or attack the markets of Matanzas. All then started for the city, running and yelling like demons. "Without other arras than their knives and sticks they attacked the markets and stores. The women led thë way, desperately. The first guards were overpowered and disarmed. The maiii market was plundered in half an hcur. and several stores were sacked. The assailants numbered about 3.000 persons. The garrison and militia soon gathered and attacked the undisciplined mass of pacíficos, who. without leaders or organization, were dispersed after many Qf them had been butchered by the Spanish soldier?. Over ICO women were killed in the affray.
