United Preas Report Member Associated Press, SPARTACAN REVOLT IN CITY OF BERLIN Scores of Sailors Killed When Planes Rain Death on Royal Stables; Stronghold of Rebels; Cancellation of War Debts De- manded by Strikers, Revort (By United Press} BERLIN, March 6.—(Night.)—The Spartacans are determined to break off all negotiations with the government and settle the issue by fighting. The government is extending its control over the city and apparently has broken the revolution. After a day of comparative revolutionary success the rebels again | are on the defensive and conducting guerrilla warfare. The tide turned when government airplanes dropped huge bombs on the royal stables occupied by the revolting sailors. They demolished the build- ' | ings, killed scores of sailors and the remainder surrendered. The government troops then |stormed Alexander Platz which a i changed hands repeatedly. They cap- |tured 100 rebels there. While the Spartacans were losing in the fighting the general strike was | gaining. Workmen adopted a reso- lution endorsing the Spartacans’ de- mands for abolition of war loans and debts. electrical, gas and waterworks em- ployes. Word has been received here of the wedding of Mrs. Marguerite Elli- throp and S. A. Lane in Denver yes- terday. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lane are former well-known Casper residents. Mrs. Lane was employed in the offic. of Mr. Steele in the Midwest Refin- ing Co., here and was later trano ferred to the Denver office. Mr. Lane is president of the Corona De- velopment Co., and an official in the Consolidated Royalty Co., with offi- ces in Denver. It is expected that they will soon pay Casper a visit. the Spartacans have only 4,000 well armed effectives.

Late yesterday evening Hern and Supple came across the cave of the animals in which seven lit- tle pups were found. A coincidence in connection with the capture of the wolves is that three of the pups were jes black in color, while the other four were grey.
