new cabinet.
The dispatches received in Wash
ineton were meager, but sutficlentfy
olo.r to make certain that Kerensky
had succeeded in quelling the mu-
tinv at the front. In addition, it was
stated that the ~ma!contents IN the
Petrograd garrison had been ais-
armed and many Of them were beng
dealt with summarily by the eSecu-
five committee. The m%utineers at the
front, it was stated, were beng
shown little mercy when they refused
to listen to the please OF kerensKy.
