officers promised to satisfy their de-
mands If the mutineers would return to
duty; but the men replied that they
would be satisfied only with compliance
with all their demands. The mutineers
command the situation, but are not in
dulging in excesses The situation is
complicated by the fact that in Sumara
the revolutionists are pushing a move
ment to proclaim a republic in case a
general strike is declared and may seize
the present opportunity to further their
aims. The ferment among the soldiers
and sailors at Sebastopol and Odessa is
growing. No confirmation Of the rioting
at Vladivostok has reached the Russian
public, but the ministry who control the
telegraph would be able to withhold for
days any news Of such conditions.
