 TFAf. m l.--- According to mall reports received from Batoum. racial disorders in the Caucasus have developed into actual revolution in the cities of Batoum, Pati and Kutais, at the eastern end of the Black Sea under the lead of Ar menians. who have set up form or provisional government. Photographic communication has been cut om Tor several days and it is impossible to secure direct confirmation of these re- ports, but according to one letter the Armenian faction a few days ago suc- ceeded in making prisoners of most of the officers and shutting up the of- fees and some of the troops in the barracks and aided to some extent by reserVists In taking the reins of gov ernment Into their own hands.
 It is known that the semli-weekly steamer service between Batoum and odessa has been interrupted and until teleEraphic communication is restored information only Is obtainable by way of cyonstantfnople. The authorities and others familiar with cnditions in the Caucasus do not attach great im- portanee to these reports. however, as that region is in a continual state of turmoil; and if 1t is true that Ar menians have succeeded intemporarliy establishing themselves In the towns named. 1t Is no indication of a general revolutionary movement. but simply another manifestation of racial feel ing between Armenians and Tartars.
