LONDON. Nov I1.-AIutlny Is repors-
ed to have broken out among the troops
stationed at Krasnoye Selo, eighteen
miles from St. Petersburg This may
prove even more serious than at the
Kronstadt where the rioters were
mostly sailors who were not well pro-
vided with arms, as are the soldiers IN
this great camp.
The mutiny IS reported TO be confined
TO one battalion. but taken in connec-
tion with the affair at Kronstadt haz
caused grave alarm in both ,ivf and
military circles.
Kronstadt.
At Kronstadt, the mutineers are stiu
holding out and the commandant has
established a siege Of the barracks in
which the mutious troops have in
trenched themselves with machine guns
trained on ali the approaches.
Al the admiralty Offices in St. Peters,
burg. IL is admitted that the revolt had
been brewing for a long time, ind that
the sailors at KrOnstadt are not the only
ones IN the service dissatisfied with
their present condition.
II is also admitted by high authorities
that socialism has made gr lst progress
in the army. One evidence OF this comes
in a dispatch from Japan, telling OF a
remarkable socialistic demonstration
among the Russian military prisonerz
there awaiting transportation 10 their
homes.
Troops Cheer Revolt.
The news of the revolt in Russia. waa
greeted BY them with wild acclamatfop.
ana q parade was at once organized and
speeches made commencing the stand
taken by the people against the auroc-
racy.
The sentiments among these soldiers
are said to lie typical of the feeling
throughout the army, with the possible
exception OF the Cossacks, who can be
depended on TO obey the wishes OF the
Gar except when there is loot in sight,
as in the recent anti-Hebrew outbreak
in Odessa.
A reign of terror exists among the
Hebrews here as a result of the per-
sistent Tumors Of a massacre planned
FOR tonight
Stores are closed and windows board
ed up throughout the Hebrew quarter.
Many OF the weaIthier Hebrews havs
fed to Finland
Protective committees have been or
ganized and are patrolling the streets
armed with revolvers.
Protecting Hebrews. .
In addition 10 the precautions adopted
by the Hebrews, the imperial and nluni-
cipal authorities have distributed an
unusual number of police ana soldiers
throughout the threatened district 50
that ii would seem TO be impossible 10
carry out the alleged plan.
All these safeguards. however, havs
not cleared the minds Of the Hebrews Of
the terror inspired by the threats.
No Danger, Says Eddy. :
Spencer Eddy, charge d'anaireS az
ST. Petersburg. cabled the State De-
partment this afternoon that in his
opinion the report that very severe
disturbances would take place tomor-
row in Russia is greatly exaggerated
He says that every precaution has been
taken for the protection OF Americans
in case Of necessity.
The report that the Gar is prepares
for fight TO Denmark is declared un-
true. The imperial palace at PeterhOf
is closely guarded. but this is no sign
OF projected flight, as It has been
guarded ever since the beginning 0k
the strike
Bad in Poland.
The revolutionists in Poland have 49,
sumed such threatening attitude that
martial law has been declared throughs
out the province. the government havs
ing been informed that a revolution ou
a large scale. like that OF 1864, was
preparing.
Kaiser Wilhelm is believed 70 hsvs
| considerable influence IN bringing abous
this action on the part of the Russian
government.
A dispatch from Kishenef tells OF ae
attempted Jail delivery, in which twen~
| ty-two prisoners were killed by tbs
guards.
