The insurgents concentrated their "Red Guards" at Fords- burg, two

miles west of the city, and entrenched the place. They were warned by airmen that, if they did not evacuate Fordsburg by 11 a.m. on Tuesday, they would be bombarded. The Government forces were closing in from all sides, and the revolutionaries were in a hopeless position. They refused at first to yield, but after an hour's shelling they changed their minds and put up the white flag. Some of the ringleaders fought to the end and were killed in the Trades Ilall. The rising was thus completely crushed. It is noteworthy that the papers found in the insurgent headquarters prove that the money seeded for arming the strikers came from abroad.
