NEW DECLARATION OF

Couched in More Definite
Terms, and Satisfies the

p. m, via London, May 6. p. ny
The controversy between the council
of workmen's and soldiers delegates
and the provisional government, that
for the last twenty-four hours had
threatened such serious consequences,
in which, in fact the fate OF the ma
tion and possibly of the war were in
volved, has been settled.
Prince Tseretelli, speaking before a
tremendous assemblage Of soldiers
and workingmen who crowded the
Naval Cadet building, where the coun-
Gil held special meeting TO receive
the report Of the executive council,
declared that the government had pre-
pared a new declaration concerning
it's foreign policy, which in definite
language, corresponded to the procla-
nation of April 9, and embodied the
views of the proletariat.
When the speaker declared that the
temporary government had acquitted
itself Of the charge brought against
it by explaining in concise terms what
it meant by the vague form Of yester-
days declaration, a great cheer arose
from the vast assembly and lasted for
the relief which all present felt at the
solution of the most serious difficulty
which had confronted the country
since the revolution.
Anti government demonstrations
however, were still occurring in the
streets. While the members Of the
executive committee were explaining
the rapprochement with the govern
ment. great manifestation was TAX
ing place outside the very doors of the
building. Orators who were denounc-
ing the government we're loudly ac-
claimed.
Late tonight there was a second
clash in which shooting occurred in
front of the Hotel Europe, causing a
momentary panic among the guests.
Apparently the shots were fired from
windows opposite the hotel.
