ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. /. = The
most alarming indication of the spread
of dlsaffection in the army, extending
even to regiments near the person of
the emperor, was given in the arrest
at TsarsSoe-Selo of a number of sol
diers belonging to the yellow cuiras-
siers Of the guard, the hussars of the
guard and the lifeguard rifiemen for
presenting series of petitions, includ-
ing one against the use Of troops for
police purposes.
The regiments in question are those
which have been specially selected by
General Trepoff to guard the emperor
and his family. They have been count
ed upon as being loyal to the last,
ready even to be torn to pieces in de-
fense of his majesty, like the Swiss
guards of Louis XVI. Their arrest,
however, although not for open sedi-
tion, shows how the leaven of discon-
tent is working even within the pre-
cincts of the imperial park at Tsars-
Selo.
The incident gave rise to most
alarming rumor that the emperor had
been attacked and that grand duke
had been wounded while defending
him. This is said to be absolutely un-
true.

called on the mutineers to surrender,
whereupon. under the orders of Lieu
tenant Schmidt, the mutinous vessels

When the battle began the batteries
on the north side, which were suppos-
ed to be loyal, instead of firing upon
the mutineers joined cause with them
and directed their fire on the city and
on the north side batteries. The Brest
regiment thereupon stormed the north
ern batteries with fixed bayonets, and
the guns We're soon turned upon the
ships and the barracks Of the mutt
neers.
The deadlock in the postal and tele-
graph services between Warsaw and
the interior Of Russia is practically
complete The latest information from
Moscow is that the soldiers Of the tele-
