Strong Detachments Rushed

Power Daily.
EXPECT new OUTBREAK
(By Associated Press)

WARSAW, March 8-Strong de-
tachments of Russian Bolshevik cav
airy, commanded by General Budenny,
are being rushed from South Russia
to Moscow to crush the insurgents,
who are said to be gaining in power
daily in the Russian cause. Reports
declared many units of the Bolshevik
infantry divisions are disloyal, but the
Chinese mercenaries in the service OF
the communists are standing firmly
by their soviet leaders.
Many rumors of the overthrow of
the Russian soviet government have
reached Warsaw, but none has come
through official channels. One report
stated a wireless dispatch from Petro-
grad had suggested to Warsaw a dis
continuance of the negotiations be-
tween the soviet regime and Po'and
at Riga owing to the downfall of Le-
nine and Trotzky.
Take No Steps
Announcement was made here yes
terday, however. that no steps had
been taken by government officials to
interrupt the negotiations, Polish au-
thorities considering reports of the
Russia insurrection as being great tly
exaggerated.
BORIS SaVlnkoW, leader or the RuS-
sian socialist revolutionaries, who
has headquarters in this city, has ex-
pressed belief that the present dis
turbances in Russia may be the begin
ming of the end of Soviet rule. He
feels, however, that from underground
advices from Russia the present move
ment may be premature and easily
suppressed. He is positive an outbreak

Expect Revolt.
1t is his opinion that the peasant
revolt eventually will win over the
majority of the soviet army with the
possible exception of General Budenny
and will lead to the replacement of
Lenine and Trotsky by the peasant
government. He believes the new
! regime will possibly establish repub.
lie, but more probable some peasant
leader may be proclaimed Gear of
Russia. s-.> ..s- :.
