SLt-OUnr FIGHT WITH
MUTINEERS
*SAN FRANCISCO, May % lU-H)
—Rifle fire today again broke out
in tto bioody battle of Alcatrric
isiund as prison guards prepared
to go in after the desperados
holding out in cellhlock C on die
third day of fighting:
The renewed fighting after an
eight-hour lull, followed an at-
cold, precise insistence, see-
the holdout convict toilers to sur-
render by sending another con-
vict to "reason" with. them.
A man wearing a prison inmates
uniform was seen from a nearby
police patrol boat climbing a lad-
der behind which'tthe mutineers
were barricaded.
A Marine poked a carbine in
one of the lower cellhlock win-
daws and fired a shot. The con-
victs then went up the ladder,
remaining earefuliy out of the line
of fire of the trapped armed con-
victs.
Hie apparently failed ift bis mis-
sion and withdrew. Thirty min-
utes. later more shots were fired,
and guards reinforced by sharp-
shooters- from the Leavenworth,
Kans., prison appeared ready tu
open an alt-out attack.

a sharp, return fire from the Unit-
ed States, Britain anil France.

Yugoslav claims to- Trieste and

forcefully what .he called a Angtu-
American French effort to fix n
border ine which would "punisUi

They were Allies of the i)i«
four, he said and Italy was an
enemy country and should suffer
accordingly.

powers had any intention of "pun-
