 The despatches. in fact, do not refer to happenings in Berlin, but deal with events in the provinces. Nothing deh- mite is known here as to what Friday ( developments in Berlin really were. Delayed Amsterdam adviees, dated Thursday, contain reports of further activity by the Spartacans in the Rhine towns. They apparently con- trol Dusseldorf, where several persons were arrested while many others only escaped arrest by crossing the Rhine The Muenster Anzieger reports that ths Spartacans stormed the prison in Muenster and set free ITO criminals At Mulhein during a big demOnStra- ton Of strikers on Wednesday the strikers seized all newspaper buildings and issued the general Anzeiger the | next morning as the Red Flag, desig- hating 1t as the organ of the revolu- tionary workers of Mulheim.

Conditions in the interior are ob- scure, as the only telegraph lines are under control of the government and censorship is being enforced. Shortly before midnight the telephone and telegraphh lines to Mar del Plata, a fashionable suburb, were cut and it is feared that the situation there Is serious. Many of the city's wealthiest families are there and the season IS at it's height.
 Heavy government forces are occu- py1ng the post office. which was at lacked by the strikers during the fighting. The strikers were repulsedI and the government troops seem to have matters well in hand there
 Soon after General Dellepaine took charge of affairs and established his headquarters in the centlal police sta ton he ordered fire to be opened or, strikers who were attacking the build ing. He said this morning that at taoks were made on seven police sta- tions but that all were repulsed.
 The Congressional palace was the scene of hot fighting. in which the government troops were successful only by the free use Of machine guns. The Palace of Justice Is filled with troops. and the forces guarding the executive offices are too strong to be attacked,

Masked Bandits Hold U D
 Jitney Man At Ash Creek
Joseph Goldstein's Cry For Help Frightens Robbers
 and They Escape Without Obtaining Large Sum of Money--P Police Have Good Description of Assailants.

Joseph GoIdstein, a iitney driver, of B Taft avenue, was held up at the point of a re- volver, by two men passengers at the Ash Creek bridge last night at Il o'clock.
 Goldstein in reporting the matter to the police stated that the two men boarded his iitney at Main street and Fairfield av- enue, shortly after 10:30 last night, in company with several other passengers.
 AS the car proceeded along west ern Fairfield avenue, the other pass engers left the car, until no one re. mained but these two men.
 The first Intimation Goldstein had anything was wrong with his passen- gers was when one of the man smashed the light in the interior of the vehicle, by hitting it with bunch of keys. When this occurred Gold stein turned his head to see what CduSeu luS car to peCOIl6 NaTky dlld discovered his two passengers jus: donning masks.
 As the driver turned one of the men held a revolver to his head and told him to give up his money. The other struck him over the head with 9 blackjack. The blow on the head failed to render the now thoroughly frightened man unconscious, and Goidstein, called loudly for. help, which frightened the holdups, and they left the machine, running in the direction of Courtland avenue.
 This Is the same spot where Will liam Cronk, @ trolley conductor of the Connecticut Company. was held up and robbed of $50 a few nights ago while changing the trolley pole of his car. The police believe that the robbery of the conductor and the attempted robbery, of Goidstein were both engineered by the same person
 Goldstein describes the men as be- ing both tall and slim. he says that both men wore dark clothes and an overcoat, and that the man who had the revolver wore a sweater. The ether man wore a brown soft felt hat He says that both men were ap- parently about 25 or 80 years of age
