 Baltic Insurgents Have Army or 5000 Armed Notwithstanding COun- try-TerribIe Conditions at Moscow
 Correspondent About to "TeI Horrible Story" Over Telephone When He is Cut Off
 St. Petersburg, Dec. 2T.-11:36 p. m.- According to information received by the revolutionary leaders here, an armed rebellion on a large scale has been planned in Poland. The socialist revolutionaries, encouraged by the suc- cess of the insurgents in the Baltic provinces, and on account of the situa- tion at Moscow and in Russia general ly, have decided that the moment has come to try to cast off the yoke of the autoeracy.
 Tactics to be followed are the same as those adopted at Moscow, the rising to be preceded by general strike which already has practically come into operation, bringing about half the rail roads in Poland to standstill.
 An open rebellion in Poland would immensely complicate the situation fol the government, as, ii 1t should gail enough headway to warrant reasonapl' hope of success, it probably would draw in the entire population and th' government would practically have t' reconquer the country.
