LONDON, Aug. 11.. The strike declared

tended with comparatively little rioting
today, though the afternoqn brought re
Iorts of bloodshed at Uanelly. Walea,

men and wounding two otheru.
Shortly before this news waa received

"Perfect tranquillity and order prevail
I Throughout the London district. Reduoed
hat effective train service la operated at
kll stations. The port of London la work
ins at I in full activity with the exception
of the lighter men, who are at 111 on strlka
"No serious rioting la reported from any

been disorders at varioua polnta. The lord
mayor of Liverpool reports that be 1 being
loyally supported by magistrates, officials
end large numbers of dtlsena. Three
thousand special constables have
iworn In at Liverpool."
Pew Attempts te Diup llaea.
The disorders mentioned by Home
tary Churchill were chiefly conflicts be
tween the strikers and polios In the north
em towns. Violent attempts to damage
the railroads were few and isolated. In
seme instances! the rails were torn up,
telegraph wires . out and signal boa.es
wrecked. Trains have been stoned and
some obstructions put In their way. but
all of these obstructions were discovered
lii time to avoid accidents.
Large suajbert of the clerical staffs of
the railroads trained In other branches of
work, and clerks at a meeting at the
Boston railway station, today agreed to
fill the places of strikers and ' were as-"
signed to duty at the signal boxes and ts
other work with which they were tamlMar.
Some union men who were out yesterday
returned to work today.
An official of the railroad men's union
stated today that If the strike waa pro
tracted the Amalgamated society of engine
drivers and fireman intended to aak ths
American Society of Locomotive Engineers
for assistance. The two societies have
kept in close touch, and the present or
ganisation in England is due largely te
uggestlona received from the Americana.

when the wireless on their yacht, the

The reerue of the Zingara's crew occurred
shortly before midnight, twelve miles off

'Captain Richard Roberta master of

with very rough sea. The Zingara left
Duck Island this morning beaded towarda
New Haven. She struck a heavy aquall oft
Indian Neck, which nearly capsuted her,
waahtng binnacle and everything movable
overboard. The five men worked at the
pumps all the afternoon, but without avail,
as the seams had opened badly.
"'Captain of the Zingara said several ves
