 LONDON, Feb. 7.-Official reports received here tonight show that there is serious trouble in Petro- grad. The streets are filled with drunken mobs who have sacked the wine cellars and are bent on de- struction and robbery. Hundreds of houses and shops have been pill. laged. Fears are entertained for the safety of foreigners at the hands of the wine-maddened Russians.
 The rule of the Bolsheviki is badly endangered by these disor- ders. The officials apparently rec. ognize the seriousness of the situa. tion and are determined to stop it at any cost Machine guns have been placed at intersecting streets and prominent buildings, and steady n.'e is kept up in several sections of the city.
 Hundreds of people have been un. der ire; many are killed and many others wounded. The mobs melt way under one volley of shots, cater and disappear, only to reap. pear in another section. undeterred by the terrible punishment which .., being meted out to them by the .;ed Guards.
 Late this afternoon the officials began using armored cars against the pillagers. Street after street mas been swept clean of rioters, ,nly to fill up again after the cars have passed on their way. This is the most serious trouble which has oeen experienced in Petrograd since the advent of the Bolsheviki govern mont. No attempt has been made to molest any of the foreign lega tions, which are under heavy guard by the Red forces.
