TO THE RUSSIANS AS THEIR | | | i | l G Brunnaya district disclosed many inter- esting traces of yesterday's fighting, which brought the walls of a hundred houses tumbling about the ears of their defenders. The Prokhorff cotton mill, the headquarters of the ‘‘Drujina,” and many other houses, for a distance of & mile between the Boulevard and the Tri umphal Arch, were in ruins. Every street ! tributary of the Tverskaia boulevard was | stoutly barricaded, as many as seven barricades being counted within 200 vards of a single street. These evidently formed the first line of defense and the barri- caded at Intervals. These barricades left lying in a pool of blood.” The same correspondent relates as follows the terrible operations of the | “Vehmgerichte” in Riga: “The persons disappeared mysterious- | Iy and a few days afterward thefr bodies | were found with identical marks—four | bullet wonnds on the breast, four on the back and the skull cloven in twain. | Of the many brought before the Vehm- gerichte’ one escaped death, but in so doing he was seriously wounded, prob- ably owing to ®ome interruption of his| executioners. This person says that he | was seized and bound and hurried to the room in which the tribunal was sit- | ting. The proceedings were brief. He | was condemned to death, carried to the outskirts of the town, lald flat on the ground and shot.” e s CRUSHING OF THE REVOLT. MOSCOW, Wednesday, Dec. 27. — The backbone of the insurrection is broken and the rising is rapldly going to pieces. | The revolutionists are able to keep up only a guerilla warfare, but the ease with which they can move small detach- ments from place to place renders the task of suppressing them slow and tedi- ous. All the troops of the Moscow garrison, including the former disaffected Rostoff Grenadiers and the reinforcements which | are employed in crushing the revolution- ists, are still insufficlent to thoroughly occupy the territory won, thus enabling | the revolutionists to slip into vacated territory as sobn os the troops move on. Many of thé attacks on patrols are seem- ingly made out of a pure spirit of brav- ado, since they are completely futile from | 2 strategic standpoint. The remnants of the insurrection now lack cohesion or a head. The city of Moscow bears the pictur- esque appearznce of a battlefield. Officers are everywhere seen galloping through ! the streets or being driven about in rap- idly moving sleighs, uccompanied by es- corts of dragoons or Cossacks. The troops began operations this morn- ing at the Triumphal Arch, bombarding and demolishing an immense barricade near the car stables of the Belgian Com- pany which has been built behind over- turned tram cars. Thence, siowly pivot- ing from the arch, the columns swept eastward, clearing all the streets off Tverskaia and north of the boulavard which separates the battleground from tho center of the city. Barricades wers not so numerous in this region as was the case during yesterday's fighting, and tion. ! the troops encountered less opposi Sometimes the artillery fired at a bar- cade, but usually the defenses were ken without the firing of & shot. The ork of destroylng the entanglements and burning the material from which they were constructed was slow. Occa- sionally, when the troops were fired upon from roofs, the houses were bombarded, but the occupants had ample time to es- cape. The operations of the troops in the were left standing, the troops having strategically made a circuit to an open plain northwest of the city, which en- abled them to take the revolutionists in the rear, compelling the evacuation of, the position practically without loss, as the revolutionists were unable to fight the artillery with revolvers, and they | possessed few rifles. | House after house showed yawning chasms produced by shells. The spirit| shops and cheap lodging houses occupied | by the student revolutionists were the| principal sufferers. The barricades though they could not be defended | against artillery, were well constructed of telegraph poles, fences, heavy doors, iron courtyard gates and signs, all inter- laced with wire. A lumber yard in the vicinity supplied material for thirty bar- ricades. Red - flags were still deflantly floating over some of the defenses. During the morning the revolutlonists several times attempted to Intercept con- voys of ammunition sent from the arsenal to the troops, whose supply of 200 rounds per man was running low. In one case they almost succeeded, after which the escorts of the convoys were doubled. ‘The holdest exploit to the credit of the revolutionists was an attack on the din- ner of the Fourth Grenadiers, which was being trundled out in the wheeled camp kitchens used in the Russian army. A detachment of the “Drujina,” aided by some sympdthizers in the neighborhood, swooped down on the corporal's guard forming the escort. The drivers of the wheelgd kitchéns and the escort made a valiant defense as bullets rattled on the Poilére and caldrons, puncturing a big soup pot. At that juncture a squadron of dragoons galloped up and drove off the assallants and the camp kitchens were rescued, but the Grenadiers lost their dinner. TLast night a company of “Drujina’ sol- | diers, who are said to be paid 20 cents per day, made a daring incursion into the hear{ of the ecity, occupying Oknotnago | Riada (hunter's row) under the walls of the Kremlin and suddenly opening fire on tlie infantry and artillery camping in Theater square. The guard stationed at the Hotel Metropole, where Governor General Doubaseoff is quartered, replied and volley after volley was exchanged ; -across the square. The regular troops, in the absence of their officers, were thrown into confusion by the surprise attack and | fired wildly until the officers rushed out | of the hotel and led a charge across the | squére, whereupon the Drujina soldlers | hastlly decamped. i SRl i BOMBARDED BY ARTILLERY. 2 I ST.

The employes of the Riga-Orel Rail- road have again struck.

The paper alsogstates that all the| Russian officials in Courland have been | driven out of that province. From many places come reports that the enraged people are threatening the strikers and revolutionists with venge- ance and massacres on a large scale | are feared.
