St. Petersurg, Aug. 4. The Novoe
Vrcmya, the only unofficial paper to i
appear today declares the nation
seems determined to commit hari-kari ;
and reviews the bestiality of the mu- j
tineers at Cronstadt in their attacks j
Upon the officers as show ing what the i
country may expect if the mob gets
the upper hand. The paper says the ;
mutineers tied a rope with a stone at !
one end around the neck of one. of the I
ollleers and threw him into a lake
where he was drowned; beat in the
lace another officer with the butt of
a rifle and broke the legs of a poor,
mad woman, after bayonetting her.
It .turns out that the servants Of
Colonel Alexandroff and Captain Vl'Ich
Insky delivered them up to the mutin
eers and these servants were among
the murderers who were tried by drum
head court martial and shot. When
they were offered the services of a
priest six of the men sentenced to
death refused to accept the sacrament
and only expressed repentence.
Prom personal talks with workmen
In thu different quarters of the city
the Associated Press finds a strong
sentiment In favor of a strike but a
disposition to hang back until Its suc
cess Is assured, since it involves mis
ery, privation and bloodshed and In the
case of failure even worse conditions.
So far as ascertainable the revolu
tionists have no great supply of funds.
The leaders say that the major por
tion of what they had has been "con
fiscated." Secret infonuationlwas received here
toc'ny to tile effect that the workmen's
council of Moscow proclaimed a strike
thero today. The railroad men have
not yet issued a proclamation calling a
strike but the leaders expect to call
'one no later than Tuesday.
The revolutionists claim to have
positive information that a conference
of the chiefs of the military secret
Secret police was held here last night
which was the question whether the
troops will obey orders to fire on the
people was asked. The officers ex
pressed great doubt as to whether tho
soldiers, espe, tally those of the guard
regiments would obey without provoca
tion. The revolutionists add that It
, was arranged that government spies
shall give the necessary provocation
I by firing; on tho troops with revolvers.
A proclamation was therefore prepared
by the revolutionary leaders reciting
these alleged facts and warning the
workmen to be on their guard against
such provocators.
