st. Petersburg, Aug, 4.--As far as
can be ascertained the reyolutionists
have no great supply of funds, The
leaders say the major portion Of what
they had has been conhscated. The
reVoutlonists have received informa-
tion that the conference Of chiefs Of
the military and secret police was held
last night, at which the question Of
whether the troops will obey orders to
fire on the people was considered. The
officers expressed grave doubt as to
whether the soldiers especially those
Of the guard regiments, would obey
without proyocation. The revolution
lists add it was arranged that govern
ment spies shall give the necessary
proyocation by firing on the troops
with revolyers. A proclamation was
prepared reciting these alleged facts
and warning the workmen to be on
their guard against such proyocators

The Polish socialists today issued
proclamation admitting their re-
sponsiDility for the recent train rob
berries and acknowledging that they
murdered twenty policemen during the
past week.
Only 10000 Men obeyed Strike Order
-. Petersburg, Aug, 4, rs P, M
Probably not more chan thirty thou
sand aorkmen were out when the
general strike order went officially in
to force today at noon The police
have put so many leaders behind the
bars that great confusion prevails
among the organizations scheduled to
begin striking in various places at dif-
ferent times. 1t Is evident that its
success will depend upon the temper
of the masses. Unless the whole army
sides with the revolutionists those in
control of the government are conyinc
ed that the strike will end in a fail
ure.
