LONDON, Nov, ~ no BAC0'oos
anxiety is felt in royal circles for the
safety of the Gar and his family. 1t is
feared that the Russian ruler can no
longer rely on the protection of the
troops and that his sole chance to escape
from the city in time to avoid personal
dangeris by the sea. Should all the ships
at Kronsladt be seized by the mutineers,
as now seems very probable, his situa-
ton would become precarious.
London, Nov. 10 "A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from
Paris says that all the available troops
are being sent from st. Petersburg to
Kronstadt. Among the reinfOrcements
being dispatched there are detatchments
of artillery. The arsenals at Kronstadt
have been plun1ered and the arms
stolen by the mutineers.
London, Nov. l0.-The correspond
ent of the Reuter- Telegraph Company
at Kronstadt, Russia, wires that the riot
ing and mutiuy have been suppressed and
the authorities are masters OF the situa-
ton. Large numbers of trusted troops
have arrived at Krons.adt to assist in pre-
serving order.

dent of the Exchange Telegraph Com
oany at Copenhagen, Denmark, wires
that news received there from Riga, Rus
sic, says that the railway strike there has
come to an end.
f. T. Stead, editor of the Review of
Reviews, who returned today from Rus
sia. where he had been for some time,
in an interview among other things said:
"While | am an optimist, l think we
should have troop ship ready to go to
Kronstadt from St. Petersburg and take
aboard British subjects who may at any
moment find the city like the commune
at Paris, only worse. We face one OF
the greatest revolutions in the world
history. The gravity of the situation IL
totally unappreciated by the press of this
country"
Vienna, Nov. 10.-It is reported here
that the crew of the Russian steamer Is
malta, which sailed from Odessa recent
". mutinied. They demanded and re-
ceived 800 roubles from the captain and

twenty miles, when they regretted the
moderation of their demands, aud made
demand for more money, finally
taking | 900 roubles and all the jewelry
of the passengers.

spreading of socialism among the artil-
lerymen OF the barracks caused the SOL

discomfort. The reports say that there
have been hundreds of casualties among
the Jews. the worst sufferers, their shops
being pilaged and the defencesless slaugh-
tered The artillery bought into the
town by soldiers WAS fred among the
rioters killing many. Hundreds fell, but
many of the mutineers stood firm and re-
piled with their rifles, inhicting great
casualties among the loyal troops. The
struggle however, was unequal. The
rebels finally fed, many throwing their
rifles away as they ran
