PANICO EN- VIENA.

Londres, 15.-Un despacho de Petro-
grado dice que Sc ha producido un pa
nico en- Viena al conocerse la noticia
de la captura de Semlin por los servios
y que miles de personals que Sc encuen-
tran sin trabajo recorren en- masa las
GALES de la capital austriaca. Los al
macenes militares y las existencias de
uniformes han resultado insufcientes,
aunque los reservistas que han respon-
dido la tercera orden de moyilizacion
han partido para la frontera vestidos
de paisano. $500 rusos que estaban
prisioneros de los alemanes han sido
puestos en- h7crtad y llegaron B Petro
grado pasando por la Finlandia. La ra-
zon de haber dado libertad q estos pri-
sioneros debe ser que el tesoro aleman
esta tan pobre que no puede soportar
la carga de mantener los prisioneros.
