Charged With melting Anti-Jewish
Riots

st. Petersburg.-A mutiny broke out
July 18th in the kasarva regiment of
cavalry at Tambov. and during the
consequent disorder an infantry officer
and a soldier of the Nejina dragons
who attacked the mutineers were
killed. The mutineers have barricaded
themselves in their barracks
The news Of the mutiny at Tambov,
which apparently is the most serious
OF such affairs since the Sebastopol
mutiny, is confined to the bare details
OF censored agency dispatch show
ing that the mutineers. when attacked
by loyal troops, offered armed resist
ance before retreating to their bar
racks, where they are now barricaded-
In previous mutinies this year the
disaffected troops have submitted
when confronted by loyal detach-
ments. The outbreak is a quick com
mentary of General Trepoff's declar-
alton in the interview with him pub
lished July 18th in which he affirmed
that the cavalry could be more de-
pended upon than the infantry, be-
cause their officers were in closer
touch with their men.
Dispatches received here to-day
from Nova Tcherkask. which is in the
center of the Don Cossack district,
show that the authorities are ex
tremely apprehensive as to tho effect
of the speeches delivered in the lower
house of Parliament in the recent de-
bate on the Cossack question, and
which were palpably intended to un-
dermine the loyalty of the Cossack
levies engaged on police duty. Regu-
lar meetings of Constitutional Demo
OF u-hirb hn nf tho
bate was to have been read, were dis
persed and the papers have been terri
fed into emitting reports Of the
speeches.
At Ust-Mediedista the Cossacks of
the second reserve, who had been or
dered modified for police service,
have refused to join the colors.
A company of Cossacks which had
been garrisoning Ugvoka has been
sent away on account of the soldiers
refusal to fire on manifestants.
Smarting under General Trepoff's
epithet Of liar, applied in the interview
published July 18th, Prince Urusoff de-
clared to-day that he was in posses
sion of full documentary evidence to
prove his charges that anti-Jewish po-
grom and excuses throughout the
country had been inspired from St. Pc
tersburg and that they were not, as
General Trepoff asserted, due to the
arbitrary action of embittered local Of
ficials. Prince Urusoff said the docu-
ments would be published within a
fortnight and that the public would
then be able to judge whether he or
General Trepoff was a liar.
Political demonstrations, during
which the crowds carried red flags and
sang revolutionary songs, occurred in
many places in St. Petersburg yester
day afternoon and night, necessitating
the interference of the police and mill
tary patrols. Street cars were held up
and their occupants We're compelled to
uncover and salute the red flags.
The most serious affair happened
near the Moscow railroad, where and
officer later identified as Lieutenant
Tom, made revolutionary speech to a
crowd of 1000 people. A detachment
of police attempted to dispense the as
semblage, but the people armed them
selves with stones dug mp from the
streets and beat off the police and q
squadron of Cossacks. Eventually the
Cossacks were reinforced and fired
blank volley in the air, whereupon the
rioters fed.
