concerning the progress of the general
strike inaugurated against the govern
ment of Russia the news of q great
battle in the streets Of Moscow reach
ed the world 1t was said that as
many as $4,000 rebels had been killed
or wounded Artillery was USED
against barbados which had been
erected at certain points and against
the houses which were known to shell
ter revolutionists, and the entire city
was threatened with flames. The soi-
diers of all branches Of the service
displayed unexpected loyalty. Bombs
thrown from house tops and reyolVers
shot from windows increased the 10y
atty of the troops
The failure Of the railroad employees
to respond to the general strike on
Dec. 20 seemed to foredoom the fail
ure Of the revolutionary movement at
this time. The mill workers at st. re
tersburg wayered, and then many re-
turned to work. All the factories and
public works as we'll as the prlnclpa1
thoroughfares were constantly guard
ed by the troops The forty-seven
members of the revolutionary commit
tee were surrounded and captured by
the troops, and thus the detailed plans
for the revolt and large quantities or
arms and bombs were secured by the
government.
One report of the Moscow rebel for
nation ran thus: THE reyoiu1onlsts
are divided III three armies Inc
|. first, consisting OF 800 men armed with
rifles and pixies, is operating between
Moscow and Peroyo, using the railroad,
which it controls. Artillery and caval-
Try are being employed against this
force. The second army is armed
especially with bombs and reviewers
and is composed of 1000 persons, in
whose ranks are many women, who dis
play not only bravery but fefocity,
This force is operating in the region
between the Sadoyia district and the
Hebrew market, has many barr1cades
to prevent the passage OF troops, ls
operating in small groups and is at
lacking patrols. When pressed these
reyolutionists disappear into alleys ana
houses. Artillery, cavalry and infantry
are used against this body. The third
and largest army is operating in the
region between the Brest railroad sta
ton and the Triumphal gate. 1t also
has many barbados and is engaged In
guerrilla tactics
A new electoral law was gazetted by
the government extending the suffrage
to the cities so as to make 1t almost
| universal. The voting list is TO lnciude
every owner of real estate who pays
taxes, all persons paying lodging tax
and to those in the government service
! including railroad men.
