MOSCOW, Jan. 2.-Governor General
DoubassoG said to the Associated Press
today:
'I consider a repetition of the revolt
in Moscow to be impossible. The reds
have alienated the sympath.' of n large
portion of the Liberals, who have been
inclined to look with something more
than Compacency on the idea of an
armed uprising. The events of the
last few days, however. have filed
them with horror and have driven the
Liberals and even the Radicals to the
side of the government, which alone Is
able to preserve order. Most of the
ringleadcrs of the revolt have either
been killed or arrested, and practically
all the arms which they have been ac-
cumulating for months have been con-
fiscated. No matter what the inClina-
nation of those still at liberty may be,
I am convinced that they will not
again be able to precipitate a reign of
terror"
While declining to give details of
losses, as his Investigations have not
vet been completed. the governor gen.
eral pointed out that the losses were
greatly exaggerated. This, he said,
also applied to the property losses.
The only large establishments which
had been burned were the Setin print
cry, which was valued at $500,OO0 the
Schmidt furniture factory and part of
the Manontoff factories. The damage
done by shells and shrapnel to the
factories and houses could be repaired
at comparatively small cost. Most of
the houses burned were inexpensive
wooden structures, but the heaviest
loss, the governor general said, was
to the commercial interests which on
the eve of the holiday were damaged
to the extent Of several millions.
The number of persons arrested was
large, the governor general said, but
most of them would be released with
out even being put through the formal
ity of a trial. The leaders would be
tried by the civil and not by the mill
tary tribunals, but the most hagrant
offenders, the men who were plainly
guilty of treason. which in other coun-
tries would be punishable with death,
will probably get off with terms of i'm
prisonment at hard labor, such being
the mildness of the Russian law. At
tempts at acts of revenge against the
police and the troops We're naturally
to be expected, and for this reason
Governor General Doubassoff said his
orders against the people going on the
streets after o'clock at night would
be enforced until the excitement SUBJ
