REBEL AGAINST THE CAR.
Poles in Warsaw in Open Revolt
Against Russia.
A BLOODY SLAUGHTER.
Authorities Fear That Revolution Will
Spread to All Parts of Russia
Peasants in Revolt.

st. Petersburg, June 26-The red flag
Of revolt has been raised at Warsaw,
Kovno 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 situation almost
approaches the dignity Of open rebel
lion.
The news received in st. Petersburg
is meager, OH account of the vigorous
censorship, but it is evident the troops
are being resisted and a repetition Of the
sanguinary encounters at Lodz is anti
cipated. The three big socialistic parties
in Russian Poland are we'll organized
and have some arms, but the authorities
claim they have no chance of success sin
gle handed.
LODI BRINGS CRISIS.
Neither the Jewish Socialists, called
the bund, nor the Social Democrats are
separatists, as are what are known as
the Polish Socialists, but they are all
bitterly opposed to the existing govern
ment. The affair at LODI seemingly
has accidentally precipitated crisis,
but the authorities declare there is go
machinery for a general insurrection be-
hind it.
This, however, may increase the
slaughter in crushing the outbreak.
Many people believe that Governor Gen
eral Maxlmovitch is hardly equal to the
task, but SO long as the turbulence is
confined to Russian Poland the authori-
ties believe it can be kept in hand
The MAJ. danger lies in its spread to
sociahstic organizations in other parts
of Russia, with which those in Poland
are closely allied. IN the meantime the
Caucasus is a1ame with an Instruction
on a big scale.
PEASANT UPkISINGS.
The Mussulmans are actually besieg
ing the Armenians in some of the towns.
Peasant uprisings have also REQUIRED III
several provinces, notably kharkotf,
where the estates Of half dozen mobiles
have been burned and where the work
men resisted Cossacks with arms,
Wounding several of the soldiers.
