Opinion of St. Petersburg Revolution
 ists on PoItava Outbreak.
 St. Petersburg July 29,-No news of the formidable revolt at Poltava, which was first predicted in revolutionary manifestos in southern Russia, will reach the Russian public through the press tomorrow. Dispatches of the occurrence have been suppressed here, and only scanty details are obtainable by the foreign press correspondents through the regular telegraphic chan nels. The revolutionists here. however, who Are almost as promptly and fully informed as the government, declare the troubleto be far from over. An off, ticial dispatch gives credit to the state- ment that machine gun attachments and Cossacks are being used to SUD- press the mutinous battalion.
 There is some paucity of details re- garding the outbreak at shusha, in the Caucasus. This outbreak, however, is not due to revolutionary causes, but to the hatred that exists between the Armenians and Tartars.
 Situation at TiHis Exceedingly Strained
 The situation at Tihis also is ex- ceedingly strained The viceroy has prohibited demonstrations or meetings. or even the promenadiHg of groups of persons on the principal thoroughfares of the city It is announced that arm ed force will be used to disperse any such gatherings without further pre- liminary warning.
