MOB WHIPS TROOPS
Peasants Force Cossacks to
 Retreat In Penza
FIVE KILLED AND MANY WOUNDED
Armed With Scythes Russian Farm- CTS Fight Like Wild Animals
 and Carry the Day Against -.- the Csar's Men. c.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 1S.-At the headquarters of the gendarmerie here intelligence was received of another collision between Cossacks and peas antry in the province of Penza. In this affair the mob showed such deter imitation and fury that the troops were forced to retreat, carrying of several of their number badly wounded. Five of the peasants were killed and sev- eral score wounded.
 A detachment of thirty Cossacks had been dispatched from the town of Pen ga to neighboring village to arrest two agitators. The villagers sounded the tocsin on the church bell, where upon a crowd of 800 peasants armed with scythes and other rustic weapons gathered and advanced to the rescue of the prisoners. Undaunted by the Cossacks' whips and sabers, the peas- ants charged and forced the Cossacks to take refuge behind a, stone wall. A volley from the carbines of the Cos sacks failed to check the peasants, and finally the Cossacks were compelled to flee. The peasants are reported to have fought more like wild animals than human beings. In their fury they seized priest who was hurying up to assist the wounded and beat him all most to death before the wife of a sick peasant whom he had aided recog- nized him and intervened.
 The credit of s7,50O,000 voted by the late parliament for famine relief being already exhausted and the commission revising the budget having scraped the last possible kopeck to raise $10,OOO,- 900. it was reported that the govern ment had determined to have recourse to an internal loan of $21,500, 900 to provide the further sum urgently need ed to prevent starvation and provide seed for new crop. The loan will be ''subscribed" by the state savings banks-in other words, virtually com mandeered by the government for the necessities of the state.
