(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright).
(Received this day at 10.30. a.m.) BERLIN, May 3.
Details of the barricade fighting show it was more serious than cabled. The casualties number three hundred. Armoured cars advanced against the barricades in Hanvenn Strasso which was blocked with felled trees. When the police stormed the stronghold the prospects of the conflict were so serious teat they decided to postpone the attack till daybreak, forseeing heavy bloodshed.
In Neukoelln quarter there was renewed rioting and looting of shops. The district has the appearance of a battlefield. The streets are bespattered with blood, suggesting the rioters sustained heavier losses than they admit.
Rioting is reported in the harbour district of Hamburg when drastic measures, which might be applied to conquered towns in wartime have been proclaimed. In Wedding and Nukoelln districts nobody is allowed in the streets between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m., except doctors and nurses. Even in the daytime nobody is allowed to stand in doorways, and groups of three are forbidden. Cafes and beer , houses are elosiv-l at nine.
The police state this is necessary to show the Communists that they mean business, and will ruthlessly suppress further efforts to cause trouble.
Intermittent fighting continues in Communists haunts. The demonstrators stoned the police from the windows. The police fired a machine gun and two "women were killed. Most of the inhabitants took refuge in cellars.
