ST PETERSBURG. July ls-No news Of
the formidable revolt at Poltava, which
was first predicted in revolutionary mani
festoes in southern Russia, will reach the
Russian public through the press tomorrow
Dispatches of the occurrence have been sup
pressed here. and only scanty details are
obtainable by the foreign press correspond

are Utmost as promptly anu lully ihioihieu
as the government. declare the trouble to
be far from over. An oficial dispatch gives
credit to the statement that machine gun
detachments and Cossacks are being used
to suppress the mutinous battalion.
There is the same pauclty Of details re-
Rarding the outbreak at Shusha, in the eau
casus. This outbreak, however, is not due
TO revolutionary causes, but to the immem-
orial hatred that exists between Armenians
and TartsTs.
The situation at Shusha had become so
tense that the governor divided the quar-
ters inhabited by the two races by dead
line" which neither faction was permitted
to cross The Tartars violated the order

the delegates favored a gigantic one-day

There is much iublation among the rev.

Neplueff. This escape sets at liberty one
