st. Petersburg, July 26.-The gov
eminent is using every means at it's
disposal to create the impression both
at home and abroad, that the crisis
has been successfully passed, and that
the probability of a general upheaval
has disappeared. The semi-off1cial
press is filled with comforting assur-
ance that the government now has a
firm hold of the situation, and that
the confusion and decentralization in
the councils of the opposition political
organizations produced by the coup d
etat render united action impossible
Moreover, the official reports seek to
create the impression that there has
been little response among the masses
to the plan for a general strike as a
preliminary to a universal uprising.
The application of the old methods,
the government confidently asserts.
has already landed the most dangerous
of the leaders behind the bars and
much stress is laid on the Importance
of the capture of a number of revolu-
tionary ringleaders at Moscow. which
it turns out was the result of informa-
ton obtained at the time of the cap
ture of the offices of the Misla here.
Among the papers then seized, the
government claims, were the complete
plans of revolutionary military or
ganization, which enable the authori-
ties to close the revolutionary chan
nels into the army.
The governments sudden access OF
optimism, however, is in reality, trace
able to the CONSERVATION over the dis
astrous fall in Russian securities at
home and abroad. The one thing
which the government cannot do with
out is money, and whatever the re-
Spouse to the outlawed parliaments- to
the people, to refuse any longer to
pay taxes, the whole future depends
on the ability of the government to
continue it's foreign loan operations in
the future.
With the Baltic provinces again
afiame with revolt and a general mu-
tiny of the army and navy threatened
the situation In Russia grows hourly
more critical. A widespread conspir-
acy among the cars armed forces was
discovered in Cronstadt. It was re
vealed that an armed revolt was plan
ned for August 4. As result A ar
rests were made. Two of the prison
ers were disguised sailors from the
yacht Rabottik, which guards the
cars palace in Peterhof, and which
is being held in readiness for his i'm
mediate fight should the revolutionary
movement assume threatening proper
tons. Among others arrested by the
authorities were six military telegraph
ers, together with Schafter, the man
who organized the recent revolt in Sc
vastopol
1t is reported from Odessa that the
governor has ordered the population
to give up their arms. The report adds
that panic reigns in the city, owing to
the threats of the Cossacks to recon-
mence massacres. and that trainloads
of people are leaving twenty-five bat
talions are patroling the streets.
There have been 600 arrests.
Three companies of troops mutinied
in Brest-Litovsk, destroyed the off,
GERS club buildings and attacked and
wounded General Iyanoff. their COM
mander and several other officers. Sew
en- hundred of the mutinous soldiers
were afterward arrested by other
troops.
For the last As hours the central
committees of the Social Democrats.
Social Reyolutionists. peasant leae1,e

union and the military committee have
been comforting both separately and
iointly with the parliamentary groups.
