Moscow, Jan. 2.-Nhite flags flying
houses in the Presna district, where
the revolutionaries made their stand,
now bear mute witness to the end of
the December uprising in Moscow
The entire district is now occupied by
troops.
During the night the vast majority of
members of the lighting legions''
either surrendered, or, after throwing
away their arms, e~ndeavored to escape.
in the guise of peaceful citizens. Only
the members who acted as a guard
to the revolutionary committee stuck to-
their colors and the surrender of this
handful this morning furnished the last
act of the s%anguinary drama
The staging of this last act was adj
mirable-a snow covered landscape, the
small black residence with a tiny red
flag fiuttering from it's gable, the end
Of Gorbatoff bridge, black with the guns
of the artillery, and the thin en-
eircling line of the S~eminovsky regi-

walls of the house. A few spluttering
shots replied from a window. The can

dozen shots had been fired. 1t looked

command of the battery, Which ceased
fire.
A reserve company of the Semi
novsky regiment then advanced and
fired volleys at the upper windows.
At the third volley a white handker-
chief attached to a bayonet was pushed
through a. shattered pane. 1t waved
frantically and all was over. The little
garrison of thirty marched out and laid
down their arms, a strange collection
Of rifles and repeating Shotguns. All
had revolvers.
Strange to say not one of the men
had even been wounded, and when they
found that they would not be imme-
diately executed they appeared to be
rather relieved that the end of the
struggle had come. They gathered
around the soldiers bivouack, stretched
their hands eagerly over the cheerful
fires and begged cigarets from the
guards.
The number of prisoners is being
constantly augmented, most of the new
arrivals being arrested at the bridges

hastily held at which it was decided
