The dispatch de- clares the crisis may be regarded as safely passed.
 On various streets in the northern and eastern sections of the city there was plundering during Saturday and little fighting of minor character but otherwise the situation was little changed by Saturday night.
 Spartacan forces had entrenched themselves in the BoetzoW brewery and government troops were advanc- ing from all sides to storm the build ing. Artillery had been drawn up in F>riederichshain park in preparation for the fight, and heavy howitzers, directed by aviators, were firing on the brewery when the dispatch was filed. Events at Berlin have pro- duced a renewal of Spartacan agita- tion in the upper Silesan coal fields, it is said, and, though order has been maintained by troops, the situation there is said to be tense.
 A Copenhagen dispatch says many were killed and wounded in serious fighting at Halle, Germany, on Sat urday, Spartacans are said to have drowned many students and officers in the river and it is reported there was a general pillage in parts of the city.
