Dispatches received by the ministry
of the interior estimate that fifty
persons were killed during the fight
ing at Baku, Caucassia, September 2,
with relatively large numESr
wounded, the majority of whom are
iartars. Privatedis patches report
that corpses are lying about the
street and that incendiary fires have
already destroyed ISL buildings and
are in progress. Both factions, after
the former disorders, supplied them
selves fully with arms and they are
now almost as well equipped for
street fighting as the troops. The
situation not only at Baku, but also
throughout the Caucasus, has been
exceedingly tense for weeks. The
disorders at Shusha had just ceased
when the street car strike at Baku
furnished the occasion for another
outbreak.
