At st. Petersburg as to the Outcome
Of the Fighting In Moscow.
Insurgents Strengthened.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 27.-Grave anx-
iety is felt here as to the outcome OF
the fighting In Moscow this afternoon.
The latest reports indicate that the
troops were hardly holding their own
and that reinforcements were being
received by the revolutionaries from
all of the surrounding country. 1t
was stated at the war Office that dis
patches had been received declaring
that the Rostovsky regiment hal
joined the insurgents this morning
carrying with them their arms and
vast quantities of ammunition, the
latter being especially needed by tho
rioters.
The Semenovsky regiment was

II is now admitted here that t.
reports disseminated by the officials

per hand were not well founded. The
garrison in Moscow Is so small that
it is only able to guard the larger
hotels and public buildings. Only
the fact that the city is well cut

prevented conflagration that would
