WOrkmen in Burning Factory.

LONDON, Dec 27-Dispatches from
MOSCOW say that the troops there have
secured partial control of the city, but
fighting continues in many of the out
lying districts The revolutionists have
sent an urgent appeal to other cities
for assistance, and it is stated that
10000 strikers from Xueve, with artil-
lery from Lithuania, are now marching
toward Moscow to assist the insurrec-
tionists.
Fighting with the stoicism of martyrs
the insurgents are slowly going down
in defeat The slaughter of the last
twenty-fom hours has been appalling.
Bodies litter all the main thorough
fares and lie in hundreds in the sub
urbs. Both the troops and the rev0lu-
tionlsts have become possessed of an
Unsuitable fury, and they are horribly
mutilnting the dead and wounded.
The government is censoring all tele-
grams. so that it is impossible to learn
the true conditions existing there.
Travellers from Moscow say that
tuOuSn tuc SlIlhtiS were DtlHS
in the street battles they We're hghting
with the utmost courage@nd had in
fiicted great losses on the troops. The
soldiers are reported to have lost 900
men.
The soldiers have hemmed in the
main body of the insurgents in the
quadrilateral near the Brest railroad
station. In this quadrilateral the in
surgents have fortified every inch of
their lines with felled trees and tele
graph poles and street cars, in front of
which they have constructed a network
of entanglements. Artillery is being
used mercllessy.
Two of the four grenadier regiments
have returned to duty and are fighting
+ Oh the side Of the government. Troops
also have arrived from st. Petersburg.
The fires which destroyed the Brest
station and other places have been prac-
tically eXtinguished, and the danger
of the destruction of the city by fire
seems to be over for the present.
The insurgents attacked both the Ka-
zan and Nickolai railroad stations, and
q bloody fusillade ensued between the
mob and the troops occupying the de-
pots.
Some 800 revolutionary militiamen
arrived by special train from Perovo,
on the Moscow Kazan line, and a
crowd of 1000 strikers, including sew
eral hundred local militiamen, joined
the new arrivals outside the Kazan
station
The troops, jaded and worn out after
hours of dangerous work, loathe the
sight of a crowd and fire upon them
mechanically and irresistibly, while the
anarchists mindful of their comrades
who have been moved down like grass,
are furious against the soldiers, police
and Cossacks-in fact, against every
representative of authority whatever
his uniform may be.
The driving force behind the rebels is
hatred of any troops. There is no long
er enthusiasm, loyalty, patriotism or
any human impulse. 1t is superhuman
hate and electrifying despair.
The revolutionists hold the outskirts
Vi AOSCON, anu ii ltlOuSuu,l lutl are
working night and day at the barri-
cades, some of which are described as
marves of strength. Trenches have
been dug and wire entanglements have
been erected in front of the defenses,
which extend for blocks and are i'm
penetrable even against artillery.
Police and troops in st. Petersburg
surrounded and captured all the mem
bers OF the executive committee of the
fighting revolutionary organization
while they We're discussing plans for
an armed uprising there. They cap
tured also the detailed plans for the
uprising as well as large quantities Of
arms. bombs, etc.
A terrible holocaust has occurred at
the Sytin works, where 6,000 workmen
were suddenly surrounded by cavalry
and artillery The latter fired the build
ing. which was soon in flames. Hun
dreds perished in the conflagraton.
At Warsaw the street railroad en-
ployees have struck, and the employees
of the steam railroads are expected to
follow suit.
The revolutionists are threatening an
armed insurrection similar to that at
Moscow.
