PARIS. Dec 29.-NewsPaper corre-

details OF the fghting in Moscow. All
testify to The fierce determination OF
the rebels. who. especially in the dis
trict between the Brest railway station
and the Triumphal Gates, repeatedly
brought The troops to a complete stand

They sniped the artillery horses and
gunners from windows frequently pre-

DESTROYED to their very foundations. The
men women and children within the
crumbling buildings were massaered in

Witnessed inside the blazing infernos.

the first days OF the rising declare the

Hunger is beginning to be felt by the
mob. The plundering OF shops in the
outskirts of the city and acts Of incen-
diarism are becoming more frequent.
The headquarters Of the revolutionary
leaders is constantly being changed in
order TO prevent 1t from being cap

was 10 seize the railway terminals es-
