REVOLT Is CRUSHED
CzAR's FORCES FURIOUS AT TAG.
TICS OF THE "RED" ARMY.
Emperor and Count Witte Receive Re.
port From Governor General Telling
of Failure of the Rebellion-leaders
Of the Revolutionists Captured.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-Emperor
report from General Doubassoff, gov
ernor general of Moscow, saying that
the revolt there had failed. that the
military had the situation in hand and
that whatever disaffection may havo
existed among the troops had been
overcome by attacks on them by
bombs and revolvers, to which they
had been subjected from the win
dOws and roofs of houses and which
had so enraged them that they could
hardly be restrained. Although rebel
lion may fare up Immediately else
where, and although there Is an indi-
cation Of another upheaval at Odessa,
II the attempt at armed rebellion in
Moscow should be crushed the leaders
OF the "reds" will receive a blow
from which they cannot quickly re-
cover. Count Witte is not so blind to
believe that the revolution can be
stamped out, but with the present
demonstrations OF the lengths to
which the reds" are willing to go he
hopes that the moderates OF all class
es will come to their senses and aid
In counselling order and in %accelerat-
ing the ~convocation of the douma.
Among the developments here the
most important was the capture of
the leaders of the Fighting Legions."
which, IL is believed, ends the danger
Of an attempted armed uprising in St.
Petersburg. This capture, it is I'M
derstood, places in the hands of the
government complete information re.
garding the revolutionary plans and
places where arms are concealed, as
well as disclosing the weak spots In
the army.
The correspondent of the Associat-
ed Press at Moscow telephoned that
there seemed to be no longer doubt
that the instruction was collapsing.
The insurgents still held the quad
vangle, in which the workmen's coun-
Gil was sitting as a revolutionary COM
mittee, but only because Governor
General Doubassoff was not yet ready
70 give the coup de grace.
Firing continues and automatic
guns are being used in Strastner
square, but the insurgents are becom-
ing exhausted after their four days
efforts, and the fighting is rapidly de-
generating into guerrilla warfare. The
insurgents were defending themselves
with revolvers and bombs, as they
were being hunted down from house
10 house. The correspondent says
that the entire population OF the city
Is terror stricken.
About one-third of the workmen
have left the city and are travelling
on foot to the villages, some of which
are hundreds Of miles distant. Among
the lower classes, who do not SYM
pathize with the desire to overthrow
the emperor, the feeling is becoming
intense and many strikers have been
beaten TO death. The correspondent
predicts that the crushing of the re-
bellion is likely to be followed by the
most horrible atrocities If the black
hundreds" are let loose.
The Bourse Gazette says il Is re-
ported that General da Dioulin, pre-
feet of police of st. Petersburg, has
been informed by telephone that the
number of dead and wounded at Mos.
cow number 10000, and that when
questioned the general did not deny
that such a report had been received.
