Cologne, May 7. The Prussian gentlemen seem to be making every 
effort to provoke a riot. 

The day before yesterday the artillerymen (concerning whom, 
incidentally, the Government is labouring under a great illusion) 
were paid 15 silver groschen per man as a “supplement” for the 
previous month. True, the infantry also received this supplement. 

The officers of one regiment stationed here have directly called on 
their soldiers to start a riot tomorrow. 

This evening a scuffle between soldiers and civilians has already 
taken place on Neumarkt Square. 

Once more we ask the workers whether they want to let the Prussian 
gentlemen dictate the moment for the uprising?
