provinces Of Poland comes apprehen-

the strikers. The people are exasperat-

coming into the big cities Of Poland.
The loyalty of more than one battalion
of troops is doubted, and the situation
may be regarded in every way as des
perate.
In Warsaw the distress caused by
the strike has become acute. There is
no coal and a general scarcity of food.
The Jewish merchants fear their stores
will be pillaged despite the govern

Martial Law In Cronstadt.
Martial law has been declared in
Cronstadt, where mutineers from the
feet defied the ears troops. The out
look is that there will be more serious
rioting, as the loyalty of many soldiers
is questioned The city is now quiet.
The mutinous sailors have submitted,
and the leaders, several hundred in all,
have been deported
1t is now known that the dreaded
Intervention of Germany in the Rus

he learned Of the Cronstadt riots sent
a wireless message to the .czar offer

squadron at his disposal. The car
sent back a message of thanks.

power. They will have not only the
right to report directly to the car, but
also to supersede all local officials and
take full control.
Hundreds of soldiers in the Sweaborg
fortress, which commands the city of
Helsingfors, Finland, mutinied because
they claim they have been kept In
service two or three years longer than
the military law required The mutt
neers drove all civilians from the for
tress and threw beds, chairs and kitch-
en- apparatus out of the windows. They
then opened negotiations with General
Kaigardorff and Governor Nylands,
who promised to remedy their griey-
ances and to give them easier terms Of
service. There was no bloodshed.
