RIOTS IN BELFAST.
A SERIOUS OUTBREAK. RENEWAL OF SHOOTING. POLITICAL RIOTERS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Nov. 22, 9.55 p.m. London, Nov. 21. A Belfast message states rioting was renewed to-day. A workman going to the shipbuilding yards was shot dead and two were wounded in retaliatory firing. Strong forces of police and military quelled the outbreak. Later a nationalist’s house was attacked and damaged before the police could intervene. Armed rioting occurred in Belfast last night. Lamps were extinguished in many streets, which was a signal to sweep the thoroughfare with bullets. Shooting became general at 9 o’clock and three men were killed and several wounded. Armoured cars rushed to tne scene and drove out the rioters, and order was prevailing at 10 o’clock. It is not stated how the trouble began, Unionists and Sinn Feiners accus ing each other of various provocations. The latter allege it was an organised attempt by ultra-Unionists to compromise the peace negotiations. ■ The authorities now have a firm grip of the situation. The. early curfew will probably be reimposed to-night.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
