MOSCOW REVOLT
IS A FAILURE.
TROOPS, ALL FIGHTING ON SIDE
OF GOVERNMENT, CRUSH
UPRISING.
FIGHTING LEADERS CAPTURED
ENDS DANGER OF ATTEMPT AT
ARMED UPRISING IN ST.
PETERSBURG.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 70. - emperor
Nicholas and Count Witte received
last night a report from Gen. DouDaS-
sof, governor general of Moscow, say
ing that the revolt there had failed;
that the military had the situation in
hand, and that whatever detection
may have existed among the troops
had been overcome by attacks on
them with bombs and revOlvers to
which they had been subjected from
the windows and roofs of houses, and
which had so enraged them that they
could hardly be restrained.
May Flare Up Elsewhere.
Although rebellion may flare up i'm
mediately elsewhere, and although
there already is an indication Of an
other upheaval at Odessa, if the at
tempt at armed rebellion in Moscow
should be crushed the leaders OF the
"reds" will receive blow from which
they cannot quickly recover.
Among the Developments here yes
terday the most important was the
capture of the leaders of the fighting
1egions," which it is believed ends the
danger of an attempt at an armed up
rising in ST Petersburg. This cap
ture, it is understood, places IN the
hands of the government complete in
formation regarding revolutionary
plans and the places where arms are
concealed, as we'll as disclosing the
weak spots in the army.
insurgents Hunted Down.
Shortly before Q o'clock last night
the correspondent of the Associated
Press at Moscow telephOned that
there seemed to be no longer doubt
that the insurrectiOn was collapsing.
Firing continued internationally
throughout the day. AT 5 o'clock au-
tomato guns were being used IN
Strastner Square, but the insurgents
were becoming exhausted after their
four days efforts and the fighting was
rapidly degenerating into guerrilla
warfare.
The insurgents were defending
themselves with revOlverS and bombs
as they were being hunted down from
house to house. The correspondent
says that the entire population of the
city is terrorstricken.
Gen. Doubassof is enforcing the
most rigid martial law, and no per-
son is allowed on the streets after
o'clock at night.
Workmen Leave Moscow.
About one-third of the wOrkmen
have left the city and are travelling on
foot to the villages, some Of which are
hundreds of miles distant.
Among the lower classes which do
not sympathize with the decree to
overthrow the emperor the feeling is
becoming intense, and in many cases
strikers have been beaten to death.
The correspondent predicts that the
crushing of the rebellion is likely to
be followed by the most horrible afro
cities, if the ''black hundreds" are let
loose.
The concentration of the troops IN
the city to fight the insurgents al
lowed the strikers and revolutionists
a free hand in neighbOring Industrial
towns like Perovo and Lubertz1.
In the former place 800 armed men
were sent to reinforce the insurgents
and at Lubertzi the situation became
so threatening that Mr.. PsgFtry, vice
president of the New York All Brake
company. the works Of which in that
town are valued at $1,000,0O0, sent an
urgent message to the governor gen
eral Yesterday through the American
consul, appealing for the protection OF
the property and of the 100 Ameri-
cans who are employed there.
Gen. DoubassOf promptly dis
patched a squadron Of Dragons, and
this fact is considered the best proof
that he is confident he has the situa-
ton in hand.
The Bourse Gazette says it is re-
ported that Gen. de Diouln, project
of police of ST. Petersburg, has been
informed by telephone that the mum
Der of dead or wounded at Moscow
number 10000, and that when Ques-
toned the general did not deny that
such a report had been received. y
The new electoral law was gazetted

the fact that even some Of the West |
