Field guns loaded with grapeshot, ac-
cording to the officials reports at Bu-
charest. are winning against the reyo-
lutionary pessantfy, whose arms are
mostly hayforks aud seYthe blades. The
insurgents were able To hold their own
against tile troops at close quarters, and
even withstood cavalry charges, doing
terrible execution with long -pronged forks
and scythe blades strapped to long poles,
but the slaughter since the troops used
artillery appears to be terrifying them
into submission In the district Of
Nlashica, where the outbreak was partic-
.ulariy serious, large numbers of insiT-
gents have surrendered and have de-
nouneed their leaders to the authorities
with the result that many Of the latter
have been arrested. The government
