NEWS OF THE WEEK
RUSSIAN INTERNAL SITUATION.

Intense alarm. prevails at st. Peters
burg. Communication with the outer
world by telegraph ceased Saturday
morning when the Finnish operators
Joined their Russian comrades. The
embassies, legations and banks are
hastily organizing courier services to
both the Finnish and German from
tiers. The population is almost in
state of panic. fearing that the rail.
roads will stop running and that the
inhabitants therefore will have no
mode of flight In the event of the
cataclysm which they seem to fear is
imminent.
In the penal colony at Alexandrow-
ski, province of Irkutsk, Siberia, riot
GUS soldiers set fire to the Aarracks
where eighty political prisoners were
Awaiting liberation as result of the
amnesty proclamation. All of the in
mates perished The soldiers after
wards burned many shops and houses.
Later a regime of Cossacks sur
rounded the mutineers, killing forty of
them and wounding thirty.
The telegraph strike in Russia
draws an impenetrable curtain be-
tween the capital and the provinces,
which renders the position OF the
government almost desperate, as be-
ing in instant and constant touch with
the military and local authorities In
the interior is imperative. II the tele.
graph strike can be maintained the
government will be compelled to grope
blindly in the dark.
The mutineers at Sebastopol were
completely defeated in battle with
government troops and warships and
compelled to surrender. While de-
tails of the fight are meager it is said
5000 men perished on both sides. The
leaders of the mutineers, 1t is added,
have already been executed, two bat
tleships have been blown up and
mines have been laid at the entrance
of the roadstead.
Seventy men were killed and 300
wounded in a battle at Kieff between
1000 mutinous troops and soldiers
loyal to the government.
Two hundred mutineers surrendered.
but the others escaped.
Fears that the Russian government
will soon be forced to paper money
basis has caused somewhat of run
on st. Petersburg banks, depositors
hastily Withdrawing their funds.
1t is estimated that at least 100000
workmen are locked out in st. Pc
tersburg. The cabinet has definitely
resolved to raise the state of martial
law in Poland.
The damage by rioters during the
recent disturbances at Vladivostok is
estimated at 100000 roubles, mostly
In buildings destroyed by fire.
