from its rise by climbing upon q lsdGssE

They were here this morning with

les are pouring in from the interior,

Revolving tales are told OF barbarities
practiced on German landlords who
are more detested by the Let's than
are the Russians. In fight near
Tukum, fourteen dragons were kill
Cd and sixteen wounded. It is esti-
mated the insurgents lost 800, men
killed. A squadron Of cavalry was
ambushed and badly cut up near

Its wounded.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 19.--Despite the
statement that two army corps are
being sent to the Baltic provinces, it
is learned that no such number OF
troops is available. The government
has sent two regiments from 81 Pet
ersburg In reply to frantic appeals for
reinforcements, but 1t is considered
too dangerous to deplete the garrison
q the capital city any further during
the present crisis and the government
can only await the arrival Of the Cos
sacks and other troops which are be-
ing hurried forward by General Line
witch from Manchuria. In the mean
time the governments fear is that the
rebellion, which iss extending south
ward to the Polish frontier, may
arouse the Poles to an armed upris-
ing.
Reliable details regarding the es-
tablishment of the so-called republic
of Kharkon have at last arrived. The
workmen's socialistic organizations
Joined by 800 troops took possession
of the city and with the aid Of militia
armed with pixies, revolvers and axes,
established a government or "Federat-
ed council" as the executive COM
nittee was called. This council is
sued DEGREES which authorities were
perfectly powerless to resist. The
council turned off the electricity from
the houses on the ground that 1t only
benefited the rich, allowing it to burn
in the streets, where it benefited the
people. and declared war on thieves
who had previously been terrorizing
the city. When robber was captur-
ed he was placed under a trip hammer
with the threat that tt-wouid be drop
ped unless he the where
abouts of the bSoty. This usually
was effective in each case, and the
recovered plunder was returned to
its owners. Two notorious robbers
were hanged in the public square.
