LONDON, March 10.--Dispatches
from the Russian border tonight indi-
cate that Cronstadt Is entirely in the
hands Of the rebels and that the fight
ing for the possession of Petrograd CON
tlnues. 1t is too early to say definitely

driven from the former capital.
Oftlcial reports reaching the British
Foreign Office from the Baltic states
assert that General Kovlovsky, leader Of
the rebels, is marching on Petrograd to
reinforce the anti Boshevik troops in
the city.
Central News dispatches from Hels-
ingfors credit the Bolsheviki under the
personal leadership Of Minister of War
Trotzky, with recapturing the fortress
or krasnoya Gorka, on q hill on the
mainland south Of Cronsradt.

A Bolshevik radio dispatch from
Moscow quotes Lenine as saying: "The
revolt forces US to consider most seri-
ously the internal situation in Soviet
Russia" This is understood here to
refer to the demand of the moderate
Socialists that they be represented in
the government.

that, although the present uprisings
are undoubtedly serious, there seems
to be little prospect at present of a
general overthrow of the Bolsheviki
