Warsaw, Russian Poland, Aug. A
The Jewish Socialists in a proclama-
tion issued today urge the Jews to
be ready to fight, and should the sig
nal be given they are requested to
appear in the streets armed. The APP
peal has given rise to serious pan
ic, and fears are also expressed that
that a general strike may be called
here. Stringent measures have been
adopted for the preservation of order.
The Polish Socialists today issued
a proclamation admitting their res
possibility for recent train robberies
ed 20 policemen during the past
week
telegram from Libau says train
robbers today between Libau and
Haffpot stole $40 900 government mo-
ney. Eight passengers were wounded
in defense of the train. Among them
were the Consul General of Brazil,
NJ. Won Rupcievsky, and a German
named Grundmann. A plan to liber-
ate political prisoners here was be-
trayed to the authorities today. Sew
eral civil servants and policemen
have been arrested.
General Strike Begins.
ST. Petersburg, (2:15 p. M Aug.
4.-Probably not more than thirty
thousand workmen were out when
the general strike went officially into
force today at noon. The police have
put so many of the leaders behind
the bars that great confusion pre-
walls among the organizations sched
uled to begin striking at various
places at various times 1t is evident
that success will depend upon the
temper of the masses. Unless the
whole army sides with the revolu-
tionists those in control of the gov
ernment are convinced that the strike
will end in failure.
So far as ascertained the revolu-
tiOnists have no great supply of
funds. The leaders say that the ma
jor portion of that which they had
has been confiscated The revolution
lists claim to have positive informa-
ton that a conference of chiefs of
the military and secret police was
neld last night at which the ques-
ton whether troops will obey orders
to fire on the people was considered
The officers, it is stated, expressed
grave doubt whether the soldiers, es-
pecially those of the guard regiments,
would obey without provocation. The
revolutionists add that it was arrang-
ed that government spies shall give
the necessary provOcation by firing
on the troops with revolvers A proc
lamatiOn was prepared reciting these
alleged facts and warning workmen
to be on their guard against the pro-
vocators.
Reports of renewed firing at Cron-
stadt reached here this morning. Tel
egraph communication is cut and it
Cured.
