 In Burning Factory slaugh- tered With Artillery Fire.
 LONDON, Dec. 27.-Dispatches from i Moscow say that the troops there have secured partial control of the city, but fighting continues in many of the out lying districts. The revolutionists have sent an urgent appeal to other cities for assistance, and it is stated that 30000 strikers from Zueve, with artil- lery from Lithuania, are now marching toward Moscow to assist the insurrec- tionists.
 Fighting with the stoicism of martyrs the insurgents are slowly going down | in defeat. The slaughter of the last twenty four hours has been appalling. Bodies litter all the main thorough 1 fares and lie in hundreds in the sub urbs. Both the troops and the revolu- tionists have become possessed of an mutilating the dead and wounded.
 The government is censoring all tele- grams. so that it is impossible to learn the true conditions existing there. | Travellers from Moscow say that though the strikers were being beaten | in the street battles they were fighting with the utmost courage and had in | ficted great losses on the troops. The soldiers are reported to have lost 900 men.
 1 The soldiers have hemmed in the main body of the insurgents in the | quadrilateral near the Brest railroad station. In this quadrilateral the in- surgents have fortified every inch of 1 their lines with felled trees and tele- graph poles and street cars, in front of of entanglements. Artillery is being used mercilessly.
 Two of the four grenadier regiments have returned to duty and are fighting on the side of the government. Troops also have arrived from St. Petersburg.
 The fires which destroyed the Brest station and other places have been prac- tically extinguished, and the danger of the destruction of the city by fire seems to be over for the present.
 The insurgents attacked both the Ka- gan and Nickolai railroad stations, and bloody fusillade ensued between the mob and the troops occupying the de- pots. ,,lsa......,..
 Some 300 revolutionary militiamen arrived by special train from Perovo, on the MoscowKazan line, and a crowd of 2,000 strikers, including sev- eral hundred local militiamen, joined the new arrivals outside the Kazan station.
 The troops, jaded and worn out after hours of dangerous work, loathe the sight of a crowd and fire upon them mechanically and irresistibly, while the anarchists, mindful of their comrades who have been moved down like, grass, 8re furious against the soldiers, police, and Cossacks-in fact, against every representative of authority whatever his uniform may be-
 The driving force behind the rebels is hatred of any troops. There is no long CT enthusiasm, loyalty, patriotism or any human impulse. It is superhuman hate and electrifying despair.
 The revolutionists hold the outskirts of Moscow. and a thousand men are working night and day at the barri- cades, some of which are described as marvels of strength. Trenches have been dug and wire entanglements have been erected in front of the defenses, which extend for blocks and are im- penetrable even against artillery.
 Police and troops in St. Petersburg surrounded and captured all the mem- bers of the executive committee of the fighting revolutionary organization while they were discussing plans for an armed uprising there. They cap tured also the detailed plans for the uprising as well as large quantities of arms. bombs. etc.
 A terrible holocaust has occurred at the Sytin works where 5000 workmen were suddenly surrounded by cavalry and artillery. The latter fired the build ing. which was soon in flames. Hun dreds perished fin the confiagration.
 At Warsaw the street railroad em- ployees have struck. and the employees of the steam railroads are expected to follow suit.
 The revolutionists are threatening an armed insurrecton similar to that at Moscow
