From Europe to Observation-Disclosures
That Emperor viii Go Abroad-Sec
rotary Of American Embassy Attacked
by Mob In St. Petersburg.
According to a private telegram re-
ceived in st. Petersburg from an emf
nently trustworthy source in Sevasto-
pol, where 1000 of the czar's sailors,
in barracks on land, have mutinied,
asking for better food and treatment,
the rebels are so completely masters of
the situation that the government will
be compelled to accede to all their de-
mands. A regiment of troops Joined
the mutineers.
The rebellious sailors apparently
have full confidence that the guns Of
the fleet will not be turned against
them and seem determined to make the
authorities show their hands.
Any order to the troops to fire upon
their comrades in the sister branch OF
the service might very possibly precipi-
tate a general and widespread mutiny.
On the other hand, it would be difficult
to starve out the sailors by regular
siege, as provisions and water can be
obtained by them and as they are I'M
der the guns of not unfriendly war
ships.
1t is reported that the sailors of the
guard equipages from which the crews
for the imperial yachts are drawn will
count of disaffection among them.
The military officers at st. Peters
burg admit that no reliance can be
placed on the line regiments, not even
on those now stationed in the capital.
The spirit of revolt pervades the whole
army from Vladivostok to the Euro
peal frontier, and the Manchurian
forces are almost openly revolving.
The rumblings of another general
strike are becoming louder. The post
and telegraph officials at Moscow have
already gone out, and the strike has
spread to twelve other cities.
1t is persistentIy rumored that Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch will be
appointed regent in view of the cars
alleged intention to go abroad
In the Russian capital Robert Woods
Bliss, second secretary of the Ameri.
can embassy, was the victim of an out
rage by rowdies in one of the most
fashionable streets and escaped being
beaten to death only by the timely
arrival of the police.
A police captain visited the embassy
and apologized for the attack on Secre-
tary Bliss, but he warned the members
of the embassy that the streets were
very unsafe
In Moscow by the very scanty ma
jority of twenty the zemstvo congress

luton drafted by the executive COM
mittee declaring the solidarity of the

perial manifesto of Oct so and assur-
