Minister of War Neuring Hurled Into the Elbe and Shot to Death—
Five Killed in Dresden.
Copenhagen, April 14.—Herr Neuring, war minister in the government of Saxony, was killed at Dresden by disgusted soldiers to whom the minister had refused hearing. The war ministry was stormed by demonstrators, who dragged out Herr Neuring and threw him into the Elbe, where he was shot and killed as he tried to swim to the bank.
Wounded patients in the Dresden hospitals, says the Dresden dispatch, collected in the morning in the Theater square to protest against an order issued by Herr Neuring to the effect that the wounded in future should receive only peace-time pay.
A state of siege has been proclaimed in Dresden.
Five persons were killed in the disorders, but eventually the demonstrators dispersed when the minister of worship promised a deputation that all the demands of the soldiers should be granted—old rates of pay and adequate food rations.
