or wounded. The Cossacks assisted in
the pillaging.
A detailed report from Baku. dated

counters and incendiarism followed,
several persons being killed.
M. Durnovo, secretary of the ministry

terror Boulign, who resigned, yester-
day.
From Riga, Consul Bornholdt tele-
graphed Charge d'AffaireS Eddy that
the situation was extremely serious,
that considerable American interests
we're endangered and demanded mill
tary protection. Mr.. Eddy saw Count
I.amsdorff, the foreign minister. who
promised to afford protection. Mr..
Bornholdt. later, telegraphed that a
military guard had been placed at the
consulate.
A similar appeal arrived, today. from
| George X. Martin. the American con-
sular agent at Rostoff- on-Don. where
al Mt Mr.
Eddy dispatched d note to the British,
German and Austrian embassies and
they practically united in joint repre-

amount of caution.
No authentic figures are available
| from Rostoff-on-Don. but the dead are
placed at hundreds. 1t seems that the
Cossacks participated in the pillage

| The amnesty proclamation with its
| confused phraseology, which even law
| yers in the Assembly are unable to
| cOnstrue clearly, is not received here
| with full satisfaction. on account of its
limitations. The general cry from all
| quarters is for u declaration on broader
| rights which it is felt cannot be long
| delayed. Even the conservative NOvoe
| Eremya, the government supporter
through thick and thin, calls for a
more comprehensive proclamation on
amnesty and declares that what was
criminal before Oct. 80 became admis-
sible and even praiseworthy. after the
manifesto was issued, and says that il
would be cruel and unjust to punish
those who are fighting for it.
| Other newspapers and asSocia lions
speak in 10 less certain tones. The
Bureau of the League of Leagues. rep
resenting all classes and professions
tonight, voiced this demand in Il for

the papers in Russia for publication.
