the vessels to proceed TO Riga to coop
Grated with the land forces in quelling

the people, which is displayed 10 the
streets, urging citizens not to trust the
false interpretations given the recent
manifesto, and calling on them to give
up the strike and take sides with the

posed persons.

of the Times at St. Petersburg wires that
it is reported there that military ter
rorist plot has been discovered by the
authorities. Fifty arrests have been
made in connection with the discovery.
Merchants here complain that they
are suffering seriously from the continu-
ton of the strikes 10 Russia. They are
not receiving any information in rela-

dent OF the Herald at st. Petersburg
wires that the Baltic provinces are now
entirely in the hands of the rebels. The

Adyices from Moscow give terrible re-
ports of the fighting which has occur
red there. The dispatches state that the
revoluiionists are determined to fight the
present battle out to finish. The last
ew nights have been passed without
sleep owing to the constant conflicts before
the barbados. Many Of these barricades
are so well constructed that even the
artillery used by the troops has made
little impression on them. In DOlgoru-
kow street barricades are made of over
turned cars and heaps of ironwOrk and
are very strong. Numerous stories are
ahoat as to the brutalities practiced by
Cossacks. As soon as the fighting began,
Sisters of Mercy wen! out with stretch
ers and tried to remove the wounded.
The Cossacks killed those whom the
sisters tried to aid, dispatching even
wounded men in the stretchers. Persist
ent rumors are heard 10 the effect that
the main attack of the revolutiOnaries
with arms is to begin Wednesday night.
