including some policemen, were injured
rising the fighting.
FIRE ENGINES CALLED IN.
Eventually two fire engines were or-
dered to take up a position near Che
church so as to be able if necessary to
drench the crowd, which obstinately is -
fused to wove, the women showing the
greatest dctenuunaton, opening Lim-
bs -elms for their protection and in the
meantime chanting psalms.

ally ordered tete municipal guards and
police to enter the church. Under a
shower of breken chairs the olliciee
troke down the railings in front of tete
entrance, while the crowd rained heavy
blows upon prem. Then the firemen burst
fe the doors. ane! the police and muni-
cipal guards entered the building. One
or the principal officers was severely
wounded. Inside the church the con-
gregation tiad erected barricades whish
);ad to be taken by assault, while men
acrd women fainted.
The energetic measures taken by the
police had the effect of almost complete-
ly cleating the church. except at the al-
tar, where a few of the congregation
and some young priests stood defiantly
Brandishing sticks. These were allowed
to remain.
MANY BELLIGERENTS INJURED.
The eviction of the remainder of the
crowd resulted in the injuring of many
persons on both sides. including fifty
policemen and guards, and a still higher
number of militant Catholics. One
hundred and fifty members of the con-
R-r•egalion were arrested. During Ih•'
struggle sound of the guards had their
rifles snatches from there, and they
fought with their hands against the
people, some of whom were armed with
sword slicks.
One of the barricades erected before
the church was thirty feet high.

BRITISH VESSELS.
The list of vessels completed ane

shows that Great Britain has put live
battleships and four armorett cruisers
into service; France one annoyed cruiser,
Germany two battleships and two armor-
ed cruisers, Russia no large vesaaels at
all, Italy one amrored cruiser, Japan 10
vcscis at al), and the United States ave
battleships.
The British battleships are of the King
Edward VII. class, and are of the same
displacement as the vessels launched;
the German battleships are Hessen and
Preussen, of 13,000 tons, while the
United States battleships art the Rhode
island and her sisters, with a dieplacr'
ment of rather more than 14.000 tots
each.
How far then does this progress el the

PROGRAMMES FOR YEAR,
The outlook suggests interested so-
Uvity.
France's new shipbuilding programme.
which is now before the Chamber, com-
prises sixteen battleships. three large
armored cruisers, and fifteen sittallge
armored cruisers, and of these IhrW
battleships are to be laid down in 1906.
No definite shipbuilding programme
has been announced for Russia. but as
soon as internal affairs are more settled
it is fairly certain that a reconstrucUon
of the navy will be undertaken.
The German Navy Act of 1910 is still
being pushed rapidly forward. and the
work of replacing the older ships of the
navy will be begun in 1906, when the
old Bayern and Sachsen will 1* removal
from the active list, and two new vessels
Inid down in their stead. A smpplenten-
tary bill, to allow for Ihe. construction
of six armored cruisers Is before this
Reichstag. but in the meantime there 's
only one snore of the 1900 programme to
be laid down.
ITALY'S PLANee
Italy Is content for the present to carry
on the work she has in hand, which ire•
eludes ttie completion of three battle-
ships, the launching of one more, the
Roma, with the completion of the armor-
uI cruiser, San Giorgio and the launch -
trig of the San Marco, which is on the
slacks at Castellamare.
The new United States programme is
not yet made public, the thrix; vesaela In
the projected cutegory having been
authorized by Congress in 1905, but not
yet laid down.
Japan bus two batUexhlps projected for
1906-ont to be built at (Cure. and the
other at Yokosuka, both of 18.000 tons
displacement --ani two armored emitters
of 14,000 tons each, both to be built et
