Fighting at. Bucharest. has resulted in seven deaths, while scores have been wounded. There are to be 750 strikers court-martialled. A most dramatic incident was that of a strike-leader brandishing a blazing torch, and trying to encourage his comrades, who were armed with steel rods, revolvers and other weapons in the face of advancing troops, who tired a volley. The leader fell dead. All of the Roumanian garrisons are now mobilised on a war footing. The Government’s position is hourly becoming more difficult.
