Fierce Fighting Between
Armenians and Tartars.
VAST CONFEDERATION
The Troops Though Using Cannon Can
not Control The Situation. The Nap.
tina Wells are Blazing, Hurri-
Gin RACES, and Horror is
Piled on Horror.
lBy the Associated Press }


ST. Petersburg, Sept. 7.-(2:50 a.
m. 1.-THE news from Baku received
up to the time of the filing of this
dispatch is of the gloomiest character.
The Armenian and Tartar warning fac
tions now appear to be entirely beyond
control The streets of Baku seem to
be unsafe for the inhabitants and the
force of troops to be inadequate TO
restrain the anarchical tendencies OF
the combatantS in the surrounding re-
gion. According to reliable reports
the troops have been forced to with
draw from the suburb Of Balhakan
where on Tuesday the rioters set fire
to the oil works and that place is now
in the hands of the Tartars who have
completed the work of destruction, and
who it is said, maSsacred the inhabl-
tants who did not accompany the
troops in their retirement. Telephone
and railroad communication between
Baku and the suburban centerS is
cut and late last night it was reported
that the wires into Baku were down.
The viceroy of the Caucasus has
dispatched re-enforcements OF troops
from Tiflis, but owing to the conditions
throughout the whole of the south
western Caucasus it is thought that
even with these re-enforcements the
troops will be inadequate to deal with
the situation. Near Baku the fight is
desperate, and the soldiers are using
artillery.
Representative of the oil industry
here are utterly respondent, and they
declare that on the basis OF the tele-
grams so far received more than half
of the industry in the Baku region
has been wiped out and that the nfe
is making rapid inroads into the re-
mainder of the oil territory.
A press dispatch from Baku APP
proved by the censor, says:
1.-THE rival factions are concen-
trating in their own quarters here.
The situation is exceedingly tense.
Murders are frequent. Cannonad1ng
is heard from time to time. In the
Moslem quarter the patrols have been
fired upon. Balakhan is on fire and
the ArmenianS are surrounded by
armed villagers, apparently Tartars.
and the cannonading there is un-
ceasing."
The fire continues i'm "the black
town" quarter and in Bibiebat. En-
ergetic measures and re-enforcements
of troops are Immediately necessary.
other advices state that a hot fight
is going on between Armenians and
Tartars at Bibiebat. and that great
fires are still raging at Sabunto and
Nomani. fed by immense tanks OF
naptha, of which there are 1900 in
that region and that the conf1agration
at Baku, where up to last evening the
tanks of the Society of Baku We're in
tact is steadily increasing. Under
lese conditions with fighting going
on in the streets and hurricane
flowing the advices say, it will be al
most impossible to extinguish the
1.reS.
