SITUATION IN

Political Conditions Show

) Cabinet Likely.
Street Disturbances End in
Great Demonstration for
Ministry.

Washington. May 1o.-omcial re-
ports from Petrograd indicate great
Improvement In the political situa-
hon. A dispatch dated May s and
received today said that the street
disturbances ended in a great demon
dated May Z reported quiet every
where. This paraphrase Of tho dis
patches wa issued at the state de-
partment:
"a dispatch to the department from
Petrograd dated May S says that the
street demonstrations eveatus ted in
an overwhelming demonstration for
the ministry. Banners bearing In
scriptions favoring tho Ag1tator
ministry 10 well pleased with the sit
uation. There appears to be no oppo-
sition to II elsewhere In Russia. The
ministry issued an explanation CON-
corning Its policy and the ,workmen's
committee has thus been appeased.
n "A telegram Of May z say that
extreme quiet has prevailed since the
morning Of May s whom the ministry
issued Its explanatory note and whom
there was published q request by the
workmen's deputies asking citizens to
refrain from assembling. This tele-
also states that the ministry is
satisfed with general conditions.
There has been no bloodshed."
,~Petrograd, May Q. via London, May
"a coalition cabinet in the near
future was forecasted in a long de-
2%claration of the provisional govern
ment published today.
After reviewing the reforms accom-
pltshed and. frankly outlining tho diff
f1culties under which tho government
is laboring, the declaration says:
THE attempts by separate groups
OF the population to realize their de-
sires by appropriations or launching
declarations when made by the less
interior discipline and unity and
create favorable ground for acts Of
violence against tho now regime and
for the development Of private inter-
ests to the detriment Of tho general
welfare.
THE temporary government consid-
ers it's duty to declare frankly and
definitely that such conditions render
the administration of the country ex-
tremely difacult and menaces 1t with
interior ruin and defeat at the front.
The frightful spectre Of civil war
and anarchy hovers over Russia,
threatening its freedom. There 10 a
dark. sad path leading through civil
war and anarchy to the return of
~despotism. This must not be the path
Of the Russian people,"
Then follows an appeal for unity
in support Of the government created
by the revolution and the declaration
continues:
The temporary government will re-
new with stronger, persistence. its ef-
forts to attract into tho star Of rep
resentatives those active protective
forces which havettot1 taken any part
in the government Of the country"
