 Berlin, March 1S.-The Ebert gov crnment is again in control in Berlin.
 Vice Chancellor Schiffner, in whose hands the sudden retirement of pr. WoltGang Kapp, temporarily placed the administrative power, and Gustav Noske, minister of defense, are en- gagged in bringing about order in the city and restoring activities to their normal basis. The full ministry is expected back in Berlin tomorrow.
 Regular troops, loyal to the Ebert regime, are guarding the streets and attachments of them spent part of the day in tearing down wire en- tanglements and barricades which the revolutionary soldiers had erected in profusion. In this connection there was an unfortunate accident, the fir ing of mine to destroy a barricade at kottbuzr. in southwestern Berlin, killing l2 persons and iniuring 28.
 The Baltic troops, leaders of the insurgent bands that marched into Berlin Saturday morning, took ven- geance on the people who hooted and jeered the min Wilhelmstrasse and Unter Den Linden. They were ln- ed up for their departure out of the city, and after withstanding the jeers for time, they opened fire, wound ing several. The crowd rushed to take refuge in the Addlon hotel, where the wounded were treated.
 After the troops had passed Brand enburg gate they fired q parting vol Icy with machine guns, wounding score or more, and the terrified mob in, t. II of which were torn down in the en- suing panic.
 Parliamentary Chaos.
 Dr. Kapp's descent upon Berlin and his subsequent retreat has prccipita- ted parliamentary chaos, which prom ises indefinitely to closing the legis- lative machine and the activities of the national assembly. The coalition parties must construct new cab met, which is expected to reveal at least half dozen new faces, with the prospect of further ministerial changes as result of the June elec- tions.
 The assembly will not be dissolved immediately because it must first ap- prove the budget, dispose of fur ther taxation measures and the law decreasing the standardization of the railways and pass a new election law.
 There are conflicting reports con- corning amnesty for the rebels and this matter promises stormy scenes in the coming meeting of the assem- bly as the popular feeling in Berlin now favors severe punishment for Kapp and his adherents.
 The French charge d'affairs called on Vice Chancellor Schiffner and Under-Secretary von Haniel today and complimented them and their government upon the happy and rap- id solution of the crisis.
 Jeers Draw Fire.
 The Baltic troops assembled in | Wilhelmstrasse and Inter Den Lin- der in marching order and with flags flying this afternoon. Great crowds watched the troops making ready for their departure, and what were at first merely somewhat un- friendly demonstrations eventually developed into jeering and hooting. This enraged the troops, who fired i twice into the crowd, wounding sew eral persons.
 No great improvement in the ec- onomic situation is to be observed as | yet. The railway men have resum- ed work, but the organized workers l generally are dissatisfied and are continuing the strike. They demand the disarmament of the troops and the inclusion in the government or more radical elements.
 One outcome of Dr. Kapp's brief reign is a greater tendency toward the left among the workers, and it
 is generally believed tha tthe coming elections will return independents in
 greater force.
 Kapp's coup was the greatest dam- age he could have ever rendered to
 the conservatives, who now are dis
 credited and distrusted.
 The censorship has been lifted and the newspapers are allowed to pub
 fish. Lord Kilmarnock. the British charge, has taken the first opp0rtuni- 1, ty to republish an emphatic denial : that the allies gave any support or , sympathy whatever to the new gov- , ernment.
 The independents committee has f issued manifesto saying in effect: "The counter revolution has been suppressed, but the Bauer-Noske
 government is trying to. re-establish ; the old regime by cowatdly com
 prise. Another junker, von Seecht, :. replaces the junker. von Luettwitz. |, "A state of siege is maintained and the Prussian government has en-
 trusted the protection of Berlin to 2 the Reichswehr, and the security ' guard, which means that military
 dictatorship persists.
 "There has been no change in the
 system. The independents will not
 accept this situation"
 City Under Military. There were fewer disturbances in s Berlin last night than any night E since the beginning of the revolu. r tion. Several detachments o1 : troops were sent away, but the ma : jority were here this morning.
