SAILORS IN REVOLT,
Four Thousand of the Czar's Marines In Open Mutiny
 at SevastopoI.
TROOPS ALSO DISPATCHED

Spirit of Rebellion Pervad.s Army,
 From Europe to vladivostok-Rumor
 That Emperor Will Go Abroad-seo-
 retary of American Embassy Attacked
 by Mob In St. Petersburg.
 According to a private telegram re- celved in St. Petersburg from an eml. nently trustworthy source in Sevasto- pol, where 1000 of the czar's sailors, in barracks on land, have mutinled, asking for better food and treatment, the rebels are so completely masters of the situation that the government will be compelled to accede to all their de mands. A regiment of troops joined the mutineers.
 The rebellious sailors apparently have full confidence that the guns of the fleet will not be turned against them and seem determined to make ths authorities show their hands
 Any order to the troops to fire upon their comrades in the sister branch of the service might very possibly precipI. tate general and widespread mutiny. On the other hand, 1t would be difficult to starve out the sailors by q regular siege, as provisions and water can bs obtained by them and as they are un. der the guns of not unfriendly war ships.
 1t is reported that the sailors of the guard equipaRes from which the crews for the imperial yachts are drawn will be removed to St. Petersburg on ac- count of disaffection among them.
 The military officers at St. Peters. burg admit that no reliance can be placed on the line regiments, not even on those now stationed in the capital. The spirit of revolt pervades the whole army from vladivostok to the Euro pean frontier, and the Manchurian forces are almost openly revolting.
 The rumblings of another general strike are becoming louder. The post and telegraph officials at Moscow have already gone out, and the strike has spread to twelve other cities.
 It Is consistently rumored that Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch will be appointed regent in view of the czars alleged Intention to go abroad.
 In the Russian capital Robert Woods Bliss, second secretary of the Ameri- can embassy, was the victim of an out. rage by rowdies In one of the most fashionable streets and escaped being beaten to death only by the timely arrival of the police.
 A police captain visited the embassy and apologized for the attack on Secre- tary Bnss, but be warned the members | of the embassy that the streets were l very unsafe.
 In Moscow by the very scanty ma jority of twenty the zemstvo congress | accepted the first sections of the reso. | lution drafted by the executive com. | mittee declaring the solidarity of the | congress with the principles of the i'm. | perial manifesto of Oct 30 and assur. ing the government of the support of | the great majority of zemstvos and municipalities in carrying Into effect | the liberties promised by the manifes. to, but laying down as the sole means | of guaranteeing the authority of the | douma and restoring order in the coun. | try the election of representatives by general, direct, equal and secret ballot | and the formal grant to the first dou' ma of the power to elaborate a constl. | tuition for the empire.
 The president and all the principal members of the congress Of peasants at Moscow were arrested there under the authority of martial law.
 The zemstvo congress by a practical. ly unanimous vote expressed indigna. ton at the Jewish massacres and sym. pathy with the victims and adopted a resolution in favor of using the ma. tional languages in the primary schools of Finland, Poland and other non-Rus. sian governments.
