st. Petersburg. The red flag Of re-
volt has been raised at Warsaw, Kov-
no, and other places in Russian Po-
land out Of sympathy with the victims
OF the rioting at LODI and so far as
these cities are concerned the situa-
tlcn almost APPROACHES the dignity Of
open rebellion.
The news received in st. Petersburg
is mea9re on account Of the vigorous
censorship but it is evident that the
troops are being resisted and the rep
etitlon of the sanguinary encounters
at Lodz is anticipated. The three big
socialistic parties in Russian Poland
are we'll organized and have some
arms but the authorities claim they
have some no chance Of success sin
Gle handed. Neither the Jewish So
clalists, called the bund, nor the So
cAl democrats are separatists as are
what are known as the Polish social
lists, but they are all bitterly opposed
to the existing government. This af-
fair at LODI seemingly has accident
ally precipitated a crisis but the au-
thorises declare there is no machinery
for general instruction behind it..
This, however, may increase the
slaughter in crushing the outbreak.
The main danger lies in it's spre/d to
socialistic organizations in other parts
of Russia with which those in Russian
Poland are closely allied.
In the meantime the Caucasus is
atiame with an insurrection on a big
scale. The Musselmans are actually
beseiging the Amenians in some of
the towns. Peasants uprisings have
also required in several provinces
notably Kharkoff, where the estates
OF half dozen mobiles have been burn
ed and where the workmen resisted
Cossacks with arms, wound.ng sever
al of the soldiers.
Warsaw is in a state Of siege. Pa
trolls of cavalry and infantry are NOV
ing in every street.
The general strike was preceded by
attempts at red flag demonstrations
but the Cossacks charged and dispers-
ed the rioters with their whips. On
VERONA street a sullen crowd made a
sand snd patrol fired three shots.
Although thousands Of workmen
obeyed the strike proclamation the tie
up IS not complete. Many bakers have
joined the workmen and Warsaw is
threatened with a bread famine.
In some of the streets the workmen
tried to throw up barbados and re-
slst the troops. All the Polish news
papers have been forbidden to issue
any editions.
Disorderly crowds have thronged
the streets. They erected barricades
at Ogrodowal, Kroschmalnae and
Wrcnia streets, on top of which they
placed red flags. The police and sol
dlers stormed these wounded by bull
let's or bayonets. Another ARRAY took
place at Zelazna street where Cos
sacks charged the crowd and wounded
three persons. In the central market
a crowd attacked patrol replied with
volleys, killing boy and wounding
shree other persons. Five workmen
who had refused to strike were stabb-
ed to death by their comrades. Revo-
lutionary procIamations have been
posted on the walls and several hun
dred persons have been arrested. A
heavy rain fell all day and this is be-
lieved to have prevented more serious
collisions.
The social democratic party and the
Jewish bund announce that the revolt
against the government must be con-
tinued and it is believed a consider
able show of military force must be
made to- qUeIF the disturbance.
