-By Telegraph— Copyrlght).
Rec. Nov. 15, 5.0 p.m. London, Nov. 14. , "I left Geneva in a state of seige," Lieut.-Colonel Donald Cameron, of i ; Brishane, told the Siin. '^Troops patrol the streets and chal- ; lenge those crossing the bridges separating the riot areas. "The residential areas and hotisls are heavily guarded for fear of attempts to smash the windows over- : looking the lake. "The immediate cause of the riot was the demand of the Nationalists at a mass meeting in the exhihition h'all to the Genevese Government to expel the leading Communists. The speeches were communicated to a crowd of 5000 outside, provoking street fighting with the intervention of the military. , "I visited the scene on the following morning and found the square like a shambles. The asphalt was stained with blood, brains spattered the walls, and human fragments were still on the roadway. Some had their heads shot off. "It was disclosed that many of the wounded are not likely to recover. "Many who sustained minor injuries received no attention."
