 the navy, saying that British fleet was concentrated last spring at Wei Hei-Wei to destroy the Russian fleet in G co Togo failed. The letter is very ingenious and Rojestvensky takes so much credit to himself that the unin- formed reader would almost be con- vinced that the Russian admiral was the real victor in the great naval bat tie of the Sea of Japan.
 The British government has de- manded an explanation, which will be made. Witte was astounded when he saw the letter, which was published without his knowledge.
 Riga, Russia, Dec. 30-The revolu- tionists here today posted notices printed in five languages advising the inhabitants to disarm the police and soldiers by force. The populace tore down the placards posted by the gov ernment warning the rebels to submit. More troops have been sent for to up- root the insurrection in Liyonia.
 Insurgents Surrender
 Moscow, Jan. l-Delayed in cable transmiSSion-White flags Aoated last night from dozen factories and tene- ment houses in which the last of the insurgents had enrenched themselves.

Many of them had previously escaped by slipping out quietly and walking away in the guise of peaceful subjects. In a big cotton mill which was cap tured by the troops a squad of girl students were found remaining alone, all the men having quietly escaped.
 Moscow, Dec. 30-Bodies of unidenti- fled dead are still lying everywhere in the streets where the fighting recently occurred, and if the corpses are not soon claimed the authorities will be obliged to bury them.
