Of the guards, will be sent to Riga. II
il reported that 10000 rebels, well
armed, are ready to oppose the troops.
A dispatch from Eydtkuhnen, Prus-

An official document published at st.
Petersburg says
"Ihe government considers It its du-
ty TO carry out reforms on the basis
Of the manifesto OF oct 30. It be
lieves that its best method Of fighting
the reyolutionaries is to rely on the
laws, regulations aud ordinances.
Should these not suffice to check the
activity OF the revolutiouarics the ne
cessity of adopting altogether excep-
tional repressiye measures will become
evident"
The following statement OF the gov.
ernments position was made on au-
thority last night aud may be accepted
as its true position;
THE government sincerely desired to
INTRODUCES the new regime without hav.
ing recourse to harsh measures, but il
received no support from the constitu-
tionalists or other moderates, while the
proletariat organizations, under the
leadership of the Socialists, continued
their mad campaign in favor of armed
rebellion and openly melted the army
and the navy to mutiny. The climax of
this campaign was reached when eff
forts were made to attack the credit of
the country in the midst OF a consider.
able panic. Had the government al
lowed such efforts to go unchallenged
it would have precipitated complete
financial and industrial ruin"
A dispatch from Dorpat, province Of
Liyonia, says that the southern part of
Liyonia and the greater part of Cour-
iaud are completely in possession Of
the insurgents. The military are still
far too feeble to cope with the situa-
ton

There has been an inexpcable delay in arrang-

armies. The Japanese plenipotentiaries at Ports
mouth were opposed to the formal cessation of hos
tilities until the treaty was sighed. Naerly two
weeks has passed since the ENJOYS reached an
agreement. A week has transpred since the treaty
was signed. Yet the armies of Oyama and Line
witch have been facing each other in battle array
all this time. There has been no general battle,
but there have been number of outpost engage
ments. AS late as last Saturday two companies of
Russian infantry attacked the Japanese and left 40
dead on the field This was utterly useless waste
of life and inexcusable The red tape which is re-
