BIG REVOLT NEAR.
Predicted That Russia VIII Have
War Right at Home.

Geneva, Feb. 22.-Russia is facing
revolution of great magnitude, and
the uprising may come at any mo-
ment. At the headquarters Of the
central revolutionary Russian COM
mittee this evening 1t was stated that
reliable ad7ices received from st.
Petersburg show that everything is
now in readiness for a far-reaching
revolutionary movement The men
who have prepared the ground have
left nothing undone to add to the gen
eral feeling of unrest within the
country and have seized on the de-
feats of Russian naval forces in the
Far East as pretext for their agi-
tation.
At the word Of a fresh Russian re-
verse, the trouble is to be begun with
demonstrations against the govern
ment in all of the principal cities of
the empire. The revolutionists are
declared to be well armed and
equipped and to have a well-nigh per-
feet organization, and that numbered
In the ranks are some of the best
known persons in Russia. In addi-
ton, thousands of students are en-
rolled as members, and many of the
rank and file of the army and navy
have sworn allegiance to the move
ment.

AMERICA HAS TROOPS PREPARE
Orders Issued That Men Be Ready
for Service at Short Notice.

fSt SIfbitE al 1iott tEOtiCCe
San Francisco Feb 22.-Under or
ders issued by the War Department
the commanders of the various mill
tary departments of the United States
Army are placing in readiness for ser.
vice at short notice the organizations
under their immediate charge. This
work is being done in the quietest
possible manner, and the officers in
charge are very reticent about talking
on the subject.
Although it is not generally known,
the San Francisco Preside is the most
active Army post in the work of pre-
paration The troops Of the Preside
are doing extra drill daily, and 1t is
stated on the best OF authority that
within the next two weeks a large
consignment of cold-weather clothing
will arrive at the post ready for distri-
button on "a hours notice. The fact
that blanket-lined overcoats, fur gloves
and heavy Arctic boots are among the
supplies to arrive in San Francisco is
significant OF the intention of the War
Department to prepare the troops for
climate more rigorous than that Of
California.
Another phase OF these preparatory
measures is the work of the Coast
Artillery that has charge of the har-
Dor defenses. The recently organized
school In submarine mining has taken
such an interest in its work that a
corps OF men is daily devoting the
hours between sunrise and sunset to
the study of the methods of modern
harbor defense, while a large force
OF men is working day and night in
the sheds near the Government
wharves preparing platforms such as
are used for placing the floating
mines.

Russia Il Fooled by the Use of
Her Own Signals.
POUR TORPEDO cATcnHPs ARE LOST
Formed Part Of the Port Arthur Fleet
Crews Made Prisoners to De-
tsct Enemy untii II is Too Late.

London, Feb. 24-The Nagasakl
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
cabling under date of February %, re.
PORTS that the japanese squadron has
captured -four Russian torpedo boats
at Port Arthur by using Russian
sIgnala. This dispatch appears to
confirm reports from various qusr-
sers OF fresh attack on Port Arthur
by the Japanese. The report reached
NaEasah from Chefoo. and 1t adds
that the Russian crews of the four
torpedo boats have been transferred.
No other news of this attack has
been received In London, but the
Crefoo correspondent OF the Morning
Post, In a dispatch dated February 20.
says the statement Is current that the
Japanese torDedo-boat destroyers in
the attack on Port Arthur on Febru.
airy IA sunk or damaged two Russian
battleships. In addition to the torpedo
boat already reported.
Viceroy Alexieff's retirement to
Hardin Is now an accomplished fact,
and a correspondent of the Associated
Press cables that Port Arthur Is now
strictly a naval stronghold and the
forts are being manned by naval gun
ners. Only 20 foreigners are now at
Port Arthur, and they are traders dis
posing OF their merchandise.
Some OF them are under suspicion,
and there Is likelihood of their being
ARRESTED. There are many complaints
OF unwarranted arrests. unexplained
expulsion and defamation of charac-
ter by the Port Arthur police.
The report that large bodies of Cos
sacks and other troops are occupying
Niu Chwang and Hsin Ming Tin are
unfounded.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Hong Kong says British squadron
Is concentrating there and that cor
responding French concentration of
warships is occurring at Saigon, Indo-
China. This Is supposedly result of
the Anglo-French understanding.

Ogden. Utah, Feb. 22.-Twenty-four

granh station on the OgdeD-Lucian
cutoff of the Southern Pacific Com

OF the dead and FIVE of the injured
are Americans. The others are
Greeks.
The collision occurred between two
extra trains, and was caused, IL ID
said, by the air brake apparatus on
one train falling to operate. The ex-
plosion which followed the collision
was terrific, everything within

occupied by Greeks, were completely

several hundred feet from the track.

MANY SUSPICIOUS OF RUSSIA
Believe She Is Counting Publicity tc
Influence French Sentiment.

Paris. Feb. PAST. Petersburg, in
time of peace one of the most difficult
places for journalistic effort, has sud
denly become great center for for
eign correspondents. The continental
press Is at present flooded with long
kilograms and letters from the Rus
sian capital.
The sudden rush of the Russian
government into publicity has aroused
suspicion In many quarters, where the
question Is being asked: what is
behind the mover" 1t is inconceiv-
able that the Russian government,
which took great pains to conceal ev-
cry important happening In time OF
peace, should now want TO make pub
Tic every happening of Importance. A
number of leading diplomats and army
and naval officers are inclined to be-
lleve that In permitting all manner of
sensational stories to be spread
broadcast, Russia hopes to influence
the stock market in France, and thus
cause diversion in favor of Russia.
