GENEVA, Feb. 20 Russia is facing a revolution of greut
magnitude, and the uprising may come at any moment. .At the
headquarters of the central revolutionary Russian uommittce
this evening it was stated that reliable advices received from St.
Petersburg show that everything is now in readinese for n far
reaching revolutionary movement. The men who have pre
pared the ground have left nothing undone to add to the general
feeling of unrest within the country, and have seized on the
defeat of Russian naval forces in the Far East as a pretext f
their ugit.ition.
At the word of a fresh Russian reveree, the trouble is to be
begun with demonstrations against the government in all of the
principal cities of the empire. The revolutionists are declared
o be well urmed and equipped and to have a' well nigh perfect
rganissation and that numbered in the rankB are .some of the
best known persons in Russia.
