TERROR RULES IN
BAKU OIL FIELD:
Bebel Tartars Kill, Burn and
Pillage Without Any
Restraint.
RACE HATRED THE' CAUSE
Outbreak Begun by Attack on Ar
menians, Hcaches Climax in
Total Destruction of the
Oil Industry.
BAKU. Sept. 7. (6 P. M.)-The situation
here tonight shows no signs of ameliora
tion. It hardly could be worse. The
terror-strlckon inhabitants are fleeing
irom the city, knowing that the garrison
is utterly inadequate to protect them
and. although the worst scenes of fire and
massacres have not yet occurred in Baku
Itself, none dare think bow far the ex
cesses may proceed.
The principal fighting- is not in Baku
itself, but at Balakhan. whero hun
Urede hae been shot by the Infantry
and artillery and whore 1000 -were
Sciilod or wounded during a despe
rate attack on the military camp and pro
vision depots. The troops sustained few
casualties. A large number of workmen
barricaded themselves in the Balakhan
Hospital. The soldiers began the attack
with rifle Are and then stormed the hos
pital and completed thelt work with the
bayonet.
The entire oil and commercial quar
ters of Balakhan, Sabunto and Bomanl
Jiave boon wiped out by fire and the In
habitants remaining behind were mas
sacred and thrown into the flame.
Blblebat continues to burn and is threat
otted with the some fate as Balakhan.
The consulates, banks and buildings in
Baku are guarded by troops. All of the
KngHsh residents and almost all other
Inhabitants of the better class have
boarded the ships and gone to sea to es
cape from danger. All available steam
ers have been omployed for this purpose
Martial law has been proclaimed In tho
city. Nobody is allowed on the streets
after S o'clock at night, and Inhabitant
of houses are "hold strictly responsible for
shots fired from them. Artillery was
employed against one house from which
hots were fired. The walls were breached,
the house was stormed and all the peoplo
Inside were killed.
There Is & gcnoral panic in the city.
A whole army of hungry workmen driven
in from the burned suburbs has flocked
Into the city. There is the greatest desti
tution, and measures for transporting the
workmen from the city are imperatively
necessary.
Reinforcements of troops are arriving
daily, and it Is hoped the authorities soon
will have the situation better in hand.
Following is a brief review, in sequence,
of the events of the last six days as wit
nessed at Baku:
Beginning of Race War.
On the afternoon of Saturday last re
ports began running from mouth to mouth
that the Tartars and Armenians were
mftsaacrolng each other. Immediately
thwe was great alarm and a panic pre
vailed. Stores were closed and windows
and doors were barricaded. Twenty min
utes later sounds of rifle HrJng were hearfl
from the various quarters the city, and
fevrybody wished to ilee, but 'no one could
leH whether safety lay within or with
out the city. Two bours later patrols or
Cossacks and other soldiors armed with
riefls began to arrive from the "barracks,
and these troops immediately engaged the
rioters.
The firing between the warring factions
continued all of Saturday night. On Sun
day the situation showed no Improvement
and firing was in progress all during the
day, the streets being deserted except for
the combatants. No one dared to leave
his house during the day. A carriage sur
rounded by Cossacks conveyed the city
authorities to the house of the Governor
General. At 8 o'clock on Sunday evening
the first reflection on the sky of fire In
the "black town' quarter 7as noticed, and
Jt was learned that the Nobel oil reser
voirs were burning.
Fires Surround City.
Sunday night was more fearful than the
preceding one. Fires broke out in several
quarters and the firing of the troops was
Uninterrupted. Fires also broke out in
the suburbs of Balakhan and Sabunto.
Telephonic communication between Baku
end these points was destroyed, and it
was impossible to ascertain what was
burning on Monday morning.
Many of the Inhabitants decided to
brave the dangers in an effort to leave
the city. They wont in cabs, surrounded
by Cossacks, to the railroad station, and
the flight from the city soon became gen
'oral, everybody who 'was able to do so
.'leaving. By this time provisions had be
' come scarce and prices were soarln.
On Monday night the burning, shooting,
killing and plundering continued, and a
refinery which was in flames beyond
Biblibat lit up the sky In that direction.
A big woodyard in Baku also caught Are
and a strong wind fanned the flames,
"which soon spread to Nikitln Circus and
adjacent houses. The Are continued all
of Tuesday, , breaking out In, several
places, embracing the railroad station
end a number of Armenian houses in dif
ferent quarters of the city.
Wednesday fugitives from Balakhan
began to arrive here and told of the in
describable horrors they had witnessed.
All the oil works there, they said, were
In tho hands of the Tartars, who were
pillaging the houses of Russian and Ar
menian workmen, carrying away every
thing of value and burning the buildings.
Many workmen, they say. will be left in
poverty, and they believed that Balakhan
would be totally destroyed.
Vain Movement for Peace.
At 5 o'clock "Wednesday afternoon tho
situation was somewhat improve J.
Tartars and Armenians were running
through the streets crying1 "peace," and
a little later a posse made up- of both
races, with clergymen at its head, -went
through the town. But these effort
toward a cessation of the fighting: were
not effective, for the firing- went on all
"Wednesday nijrht. The soldiers, how
ever, continued thecfforts to repress
the disorders, and. by Thursday morninc
matters were more orderly everywhere.
The streets today are deserted and
the stores, banks and other public
plaoos are closed, hardly anybody van
luring out A pall of heavy black smoke
hangs over Baku and its suburbs. Th
Josses in these six days have not yet
been accurately established.
lc was reported this morning that
the Tartans, notwithstanding their
participation in the "peace" procession,
are opposed to the establishment of
order, and that they demand a substan'
tial sum ffonf the authorities In lieu of
permission to continue their pillaginpr.
Boats running- on the Volga will
Uoubtless have to use naphtha instead
of oil. The quantity of naphtha on hand j
will be sufficient for the river boat? i
for at least Ave months. It will take
nearly a year to repair the damage

been killed.
oil industry: PEAD FOR YEAR
Tartar Rebels Massacre Thousands
and Overpower Troops.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. .-(1:43 A.
M.) Interracial warfare and incendiarism
hav9 done tholr work in Baku and have
completed ttie ruin for a yoar of the
great oil industry of that Caspian port,
though tho latest dispatches Indicate that
the military have gained the upper hand
in the town itself and that the steadily
arriving reinforcements promipe to turn
the tide in the outlying districts and to
enable the troops to drive the Tartars
Irom their positions around the city and
to re-occupy the suburban towns.
There is little left unburned above, tho
ground in the outlying oil fields of Bal
akhan, Romanl, Sabunto and Blblebat,
from which the crude oil supply for the
Baku oil Industry is drawn. AH the ex
tracting plants, including derricks, pump
ing establishments and the oil reservoirs
in which the crude oil is stored, have
been destroyed. The breaking of the res
ervoirs unloosed a flood of burning oil,
which It was impossible to extinguish.
A large portion of the "Black town"
quarter, in which roost of the roflneries
wore located, was also burned.
The financial loss has not yet been es
tablished, 'but it will run. Into the mil
lions. It is stated that the loss In crude
oil, which will run waste until the rosor.
volrs can be rebuilt and the refineries
,again started, will amount to S2Q0.O00
daily.
Artillery Mows Down Rebels.
frhe bloodshed also has been appall
ing, as the troops, in their efforts to
restore order, had to defend the ap
proaches to the town of Baku nd
were forced to flght a regular battle
with the well-armed natives, in which
artillery was employed. The Tartars
and Armenians in tholr fury turned
their weapons against each other. All
the well-to-do inhabitants Aod olther
by sea or overland to Tiflis.
Unlike tho recent trouble at Odessa,
the disorders at Baku cannot be traced
to any underlying hostility to the Rus
sian government. It is not a revolu
tion, but an inter-racial war betweon
the Armenians and the natives basod
on the same causes as the struggle, in
Armenia.
Both factions offored a stubborn
armed resistance to tho troops. The
Tartars, after driving the Russian and
Armonian operatives from the works
in the oil Aelds, massacred those who
were unable to flee In time, plundered
their houses and then applied the torch.
The dispatches spoak of several
thousand killed or wounded in the
fighting at Balakhan, where the Tar
tars were Intrenched in force and more
than hold their own for a time against
the troops.
Moslems Preach Holy "War.
It is said that the green standard
of the prophet has been raisod and that
the Mullahs at Baku are preaching a
holy war, as they did at Eristan a few
months ago. The Moslems, however,
have no special programme to carry
out at this time, and it is expectod that
order will bo restored In a few days
with the arrival of sufficient -troops. It
is thought, however, that the underly
ing hatred existing between Armen
ians and Tartars will not be abated.
The statement that a Turkish omis
sary Is working among the Tartars Is
believed here to be untrue. The Mos
lems In the Baku region are connected,
not with tho Turks, but with Persia,
to which country they belonged before
the conquest of the region by Russia.
It is expected that the arrival of the
Shah of Persia at Baku in a few days
on his way to Teheran will complicate
the situation, and this belief probably
furnished the inspiration for the Im
perial order to the Viceroy of th Cau
casus to stop the disorders at all costs.
Scene of the Rebellion.
The town of Baku , lies in a steop
walled amphitheater on the southern
shore of the Apsheron peninsula, with
the oil Aelds on cither side, from which
pipe lines convey the oil a few miles
t othe refineries In the town. Most of
these reflnories are looatcd In the so
called "Black Town" quarter. The
principal or Balakhan oil field, where
the heaviest fighting has taken place,
.Is 15 miles northoast of Baku. Sa
bunto and Roman! are adjoining oil
districts. Blblebat, a small but very
rich field, lies on the opposite Or west
side of Baku, Just outside the city
limits. Most of the surrounding region
Is inhabited by Tartar hill tribes, who,
in addition to occupying the two dis
tricts on the hillsides running down
to the port, also oocupy the old forti
fied section in the center of the town,
which Is probably tholr headquarters.
The Tartar quarters arc composed of
dirty and squalid houses In crooked
streets. Many of the streets are.
wide enough to permit individuals to
pass.
ARTILLERY RUSHED TO BAKU
All Petroleum "Works Destroyed and
Products at Famine Prices.
TIFUS, Sept. 7. All the naphtha works
at Baku have been destroyed and all the
factories and other works there are closed.
The military authorities are hastening
measures to cope with the disastrous sit
uation at Baku. Artillery has been dis
patched from here by special trains.
The prices of benzine, kerosene and their
residues have ripen enormously. The
present supplies will be exhausted in a
few days.
The Tartar movement In Northern Cau
casus is said to be directed principally
against the government.
Panic reigns in the whole of the Tiflis
district and the people are fearful of an
attack byVTartars. One Cossack was
killed and another wounded near here last
night. The assailants escaped. The po
lice patrols have been strengthened and
the authorities propose to organize a
rural militia for the defense of Armenian
homes in 11 of the Trans-Caucasian dis
tricts where no troops are stationed.
FAMINE IX NINE PROVINCES
Government Asked for $20,000,000
to Feed Starving Millions.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 7.-The first
Bitting of a ministerial conference called
to deal with the famine which threatened

trasury assign nearly $20,000,000 for these
cereals.

Purpose of Requests Secretary
Root Will Make.
HE WANTS MORE CONSULS
Dalny and Harbin Arc Points Where
They "Will Be Stationed Japan
Must Tell China to Abol
ish the Likln Tax.
WASHINGTON', Sept 7. (Special.)-
Secretary Root will at once take steps
to ascertain the real attitude of Japan
on the question of maintaining the
"open door" in Manchuria.
The Secreting will ask Japan for per
mission to locate a consul at Dalny,
which has been leased to that country.
He will make the same request for a
consul at Harbin, which will be again
under the Jurisdiction of China. Russia
refused permit to Consuls at these
places because Dalny was declared bo
a military fortress and Harbin likely
to become the center of military opera
tions. Secretary'Root will also aBk that the
llkin tax be abolished. Negotiations
wore progressing with China to that
end"" when Russia dictated a refusal. If
the request be not granted now, it wil
be assumed that Japan has dictated an
other refusal, and hereafter will dom
inate China, as Russia did previous to
the war.
