Poltava, July 30.-A grave outbreak
occurred yesterday in the Sevski regi-

NJ the First battalion, who was discov-
cred with revolutionists. The entire
First battalion accompanied by large
crowd. paraded the streets in defiance
of the military authorities.
The soldiers proceed to the artillery
barracks, where they seized several
guns and marched with them to the
prison, where the political prisoners
are confined. At this stage all the re-
mainder of the Poltava garrison was
called out.
The loyal troops fired on the mutt
neers with machine guns as they were
engaged in breaking down the gate of
the prison. Seceral men were killed
or wounded. The outbreak was not
suppressed for several hours.
At Shusha the governor divided the

A plenary meeting of the st. Peters
burg council of workmens deputies,
representing 10000 working men, was
held today. The members agreed that

There is jubilation among the revo.
