ARMENIANs SEIZE TOWNS
Racial Disorders in Caucasus Break
Out Into Revolution

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 23, 3 a. m.
According to mail reports from Ba-
toum, racial disorders in the Caucasus
have developed into actual revolution
in the cities of Batoum, Patti and Ku-
tais, at the eastern ends of the Black
Sea, under the lead of the Armenians,
who have set up a form of provisional
government.
Telegraphic communication has been
cut for several days and it is impos-
sible to secure direct confirmation of
these reports, but according to one
letter the Armenian faction few days
ago succeeded in making prisoners of
most of the officials and shutting up
the officers and troops in the barracks.
They then, aided to some extent by
reservists, took the reins of govern
ment into their own hands.
The authorities here and others ia
miliar with. conditions in the Cau-
casus do not attach great Importance
to these reports, however, as this re-
gion is In a continual state of tur-
moil, and If it is true that Armenlans
have succeeded in temporarily estab-
fishing themselves in the towns named
1t is no indication of general revo-
lutionary movement, but simply an
other manifestation of racial feeling
between Armenians and Tartars.
