REVOLT IS SUBSIDING
Russian government claims revolution
I
has about spent itself and that the
strike at Moscow will be declared off
next Monday? Fanatics fighting- now
St. Petersburg, Dec. 29 ? The government dairas that the revolt at Moscow has
about spent itself and is now practically over. It is also claimed that the strike at that
place will be called off next Monday. The closing of hostilities there it is said, is in part
due to the fact that the government is rushing in troops from different quarters. Only
the fanatics are now fighting and they are snipping at the troops from the roof tops.
They disappear upon the approach of artillery.
The troops of the empire are insufficient to occupy all the territory in the country
and the revolution is slipping from point to point.
