From Bad to Worse.
GERMANY'S TROUBLES. Received this diay, 8.55 a.m. Loudon, December 17. , Reports from the Hague state that the situation at Hamburg is steadily growing worse. The strength of Liebknecht's partisans was hitherto due to rnthlessness and the determination not to stick at anything to gain their ends, but their numbers are becoming fewer daily and disturbances constantly occur. Eye-witnesses .returned from the Hague saw a fight, wherein machine-guns postedi at converging paints of the streets were fired with deadly effect. Eight were killed and forty wounded. The majority of the people, including all tlie bourgeois parties are gradually working up to a pitch at which decisive resistance by the anti-extremists is inevitable. Then, slaughter on, a t>ig scale may be expected.
