London, March 20.

The ''Sunday Express's" correspondent in Berlin says that two' curious incidents marked the fighting in the streets. Grenades used by Government troops did not explode, and cartridges were found to be full of sand. Both had been manufactured by S'partacist workers at Spandau. The second strange occurrence was when a number of Government horses were shot down. While bullets were whizzing overhead, people emerged from their houses and hacked the horses to pieces for food. In some instances they did not wait till the animals were dead.
