The Czar, with treachery on all
sides, disorder and mutiny among
his troops, and the menace of
revolution silhouetted in the
opaque clouds that hang like pail
over his plighted country, today
dismissed two generals in dis
grace. Strenuously - but vainly
thus far-he is trying to stem the
tide Of disloyalty and disorder that
infests his army. The peasants
will not pay taxes, more agrarian
e;1trages, desperate efforts to effect
rupture by the Group OF Toll and
another stormy scene in the House
are some of the developments of
the last few hours.
ST PETERSBURG, July 5.-Eh1oeror
Nicholas has taken the almost unpre>
cedented step OF publicly directing Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaivitch, commander
Of the forces in the military district of St
Petersburg, to investigate and take meas
ures to stop the disorders among the
troops Accompanying these instructions
were orders relieving Prince Vassnchikof,
commander of the guard corps, from duty
and dismissing in disgrace Gen. Ozeroff,
commander of the first guard division, and
Gen Gadon. commander of the Preobrajen-
sky regiment, the first battalion of which
was recently disgraced for expressing sym
pathy with parliament and protesting
against doing police duty. Gadon is said
TO be a descendant of an American named
Gordon, the name having been Russianized
by lapse OF time.
All attempts TO purge the army of the
spirit of disloyalty now that it has invaded
the pampered regiment of the guard will,
however, probably prove futile, No isola-
ton Of the troops will any longer suffice
TO prevent the Spread of the conta gion.
" nile the majority of the troops probably
are still faithful, the undermining of
the military SUPPORTS OF the government
Is proceeding very rapid:y. The revolu-
tionists are rejoicing at the success or %hat
they regard as being the final phase OF
the work of preparing for the coming revo-
luton.
The gravest news regarding the rebellious
spirit among the troops in the Caucasus

orders. accompanied by the burning of

provinces of Penza, Kamenetz- PodOlsk and

of Tula is bankrupt owing to the refusal
OF the peasants to pay their taxes.
The members OF the Group of Foil In par
