Warsaw, Feb. 6.-Revolution is
running rampant throughout Rus
sian Poland. This statement is
made with positiveness, despite the
ominous quiet which hangs like
pail over this ancient city this
morning; despite the official state
ments made by Russian bureau
Gratis that he situation is vastly
improved and can no longer be call
ed serious-even in the face of the
reinsurance cabled to the United
states from this and other Russian
cities by newspaper correspondents
who allege that the trouble is over.
One hundred thousand strikers,
armed with firearms and4dynamite
lsmuggled across the Austrian from
itier are ready to assemble at a mo-
ment's notice at any, given point
and offer their lives as sacrifice to
better the condition of their fellows.
| Al general strike has been declar-
led throughout the governments
Kaliesz, Radon and Kielce.
IChurches are being burned by or
1thodox believers, who have lost
faith owing to the manner in which
their priests have betrayed them
by siding with thesgovernment.
The governments of Radon, Ka-
liesz and Kielce were declared in a
Estate of.siege Sunday. The procla
nations setting forth that fact came
after II hours of turmoil, during
which neither life nor property
were safe. It is difficult to obtain
accurate facts and figures from these
outlying districts owing to the
Estriet maintenance of internal CEN
fsorship and the general state q
chaos which has made commrnica-
ton other than by post next to i'm
possible.
! Most of the news is brought here
by couriers, who, having only OBJ
served their happenings in their
particular districts, and arehot able
to give connected accounts Of the
general situation, but their coubin-
ed stories tell tale of horror and
crime and of conditions which In
dicats that the bloody days of 1863
and 1854 will be repeated and that
unless every demand is granted
T to the strikers, or unless those con-
trolling them decide that the day
has not come to deal Russian rule
In Poland a death blow, the world
will witness another of Poland 'ssin.
, lister tragedies.
The statement can be made with
out fear of contradiction. that the
strike of the discontented workmer
throughout Poland is practically
general to day, and that the figure
of loo, 900 idle men represents {
3 very conservative estimate.
