ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 12. (Special.)
Reports have reached here that Irkutsk is
completely in the hands of the rebels,
they having a general organized uprising
there. The Governor's house was sur
rounded and a dozen armed men forced
their way into the Governor's bedroom,
compelling him to surrender keys and ofil
cial papers under threat of Jnstant death.
The Vice-Governor, who resisted, was
twice shot, and is feared to be fatally
wounded.
Tiie Chief of Police fought desperately
and killed two rebels before he fell, rid
dled with bullets.
Bands of half-crazed rebels, after tak
ing possession of the palace, marched
through the streets, looting and pillaging.
Tiie loyalty of the troops garrisoning
the town Is doubted, and reinforcements
wore immediately ordered to proceed to
the scene of the uprising from Moscow.
The situation at Irkutsk is considered
here to be one of the most serious the
government has to face. It is said that
several trainloads of troops returning here
from Manchuria -have joined the rebels in
their attempt to establish an independent
government.
It is reported that Count Wittc will use
all the future' disorders as a pretext to
postpone the Douma indefinitely.

ting: Down Rebellion.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 13.-(1:25 A. M.)
The first advices received by the gov
ernment from Siberia of the restoration
of telegraphic communication show that
the most critical conditions prevailed there
during the recent strike, but that now
with the arrival of reliable troops from
Manchuria, the worst is over. Owing to
the interruption of communication, the
local Governors were not aware that au
thority to declare martial law had been
conferred on them by the Emperor's
ukase.. The paltry military forces at their
disposal were In open sympathy with the
strikers, and many of them were revolu
tionists, thus preventing energetic meas
ures from bejng taken to restore the im
perial authority, which was practically
non-existent for many days.
Divisions under General Sukhotin have
now arrived and taken possession of Irk
utsk, Omsk. Krasnoyarsk and other
towns, and arc arresting the leaders of
the insurgents and disarming the unrelia
ble troops.
The first telegram arriving from Irkutsk
was a irantic appeal from the financial
agent there for someone to take over the
administration of the city, the Vice-Gov-ernor,
the Chief of Police and all his
other superior officers having been killed
or wounded during the insurrection. He
reported that for several days the revolu
tionists were in control-of the entire town
except the administration building, and
that tills was pnly held because of the
devotion of the cadets of the military
school, who swore on the colors to fight
to the death against the revolutionists.
Krasnoyarsk was for several days in
the hands of the insurgents, who set up a
government and exacted an oath of al
legiance from all citizens.

ARE JEWS GOOD FIGHTERS?
Three-Cornered Debate on Whether
They Arc Cowards.
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 12. A three
cornered discussion is In progress among
General Martynoff, the Molva (Russ) and
the Xovofe- Vremya over the question of
personal bravery of the Jews. The con
troversy was precipitated by the publica
tion nf n n nrHf-la dn V... - i
- nUtU Jj ucuuai
Martynoff. In which the Jewish soldiers
were stigmatized as cowards, and in
which it was declared that they resorted
to- everv conceivable rune wn tn fh
extent of mutilating themselves. In order
iu avoid service.
The article said that those who actually
readied Manchuria feigned sickness be-
ior every ngnt, ana that the fright of the
Jews In battle was enough to shake the
moraio or an entire regiment. The Jews,
the article said, were also guilty of con
stant desertion, and it was alleged that
there were 250 desertions of Jewieh sol-
with the desertion of"ehht Christians. In
concluding ills article. General Martynoff
said that the Jew, on account of coward
Ice and physical weakness, was not fit to
oe a soiaier.
The Molva took up the cudgels on be
half of the JeWa warmlv rfefenrilntr their
moral courage'and giving them credit for

struggle and explaining any faults they
may have shown at the front were born

Martynoff, but acknowledged the abilities
or tne Jews, wno, it is said, wore the real
organizers of the Russian revolution. It
Insisted, however, that, while the Jews
naa lurnlsned brains and arms to the
workmen. Just as they furnished bombs
to the Terrorists, thov had done Utile
actual fighting.
In continuing Its side of the argument,
the Xovoe Vremya borates those foreign
ers in the United States and elsewhere
"who raise money to buy weapons for the
defense of the poor Russian Jews, which
in reality are used to fight the govern
ment. Then the foreigners blame tiie
government for the harsh measures
adopted to quell rebellion.

"WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. Althnucli thn
present breach in the diplomatic relations
netween t ranee and enezHela is tech
nically chanreabie acaiintt the no rsnrui 1 1 1 tr
of M. Talgny. the French Cliarge at Car
acas, the real Isue. as it Ih understood
nere. is the attack by Pnfrfdent Castro
upon the properties and franchises of the
French Cable Company.
The President lias asserted thnt thrt
Cable Company had lent active assistnnco
to the Matos rebellion. Therefore, he be
gan proceedings in the Venezuelan courts
against the company on that score, and
also coinplnlned thnt the company had
vii-lated the terms of its concession in
not laying certain roast lines of cuble.
and especially In crossing the island of
San Domingo with land wire, subject to
frequent interruntion in time nf reheiiintt
on that island. "The courts sustained the
President's view. and. in fact, practically
iook possession oi tne comnanv's nftw
at certain points when the French gov
ernment Intervened.
In the absence of the regular Minister.
31. Talgny presented a written protest to
me tenezuoian government. President
Castro recanted this note a inmiitin- tr
his government, and refused to have any
thing more to do with M. Talgny. But
the French government refused to allow
the dispute to 'be made a nersnnnl nna
and declared that M. Talgny. In his pre
sentment, had followed precisely tho in
structions of his foreign office. .
At this point Mr. Russell, the Amirtmn
Minister at Caracas. Intervened In the
interest of peace, and. after manv notion
exchange., it wan believed that he had
finally succeeded. But. while he Induced
President Castro to withdraw a note re
fusing to do business with M. Talgny,
which note the French government re
garded as offensive, he could not prevail
upon President Castro to resume his offi
cial religions with the French Charge.
Tho climax came on New Year's day.
when tho-French government, supposing
thnt a satisfactory settlement 'hn! heen
reached, received with the usual honors
of the New Year's day reception the Ven
ezuelan Minister at Parts, only to learn
thnt President Castro had refused to do
likewise for M. Talgny at Caracas. This
omission touched the pride of the French
government, which felt it had been made
the victim or double-dealing and deceit,
which fact the French Ambassador in
"Washington was not slow to communicate
to the State Department.
Mr. Russell realized his failure to effect
a settlement, thereby making himself un
popular in Caracas, and then came notice
from the French government thnt diplo
matic relations with Venezuela were com
pletely severed.
There is a hint of punitive measures on
the port of the Frbnch. and the situation
Is regarded as very unpleasant, with pos
sibilities of serious consequences.

PORTLAND TESTIMONY
T. "W. Shankland, who is a street-car
conductor on the Woodstock street-car
line, residing at 710 Ellsworth street,
says: "Some time last Fall I began hav
ing considerable trouble and annoyance
from a dull, aching pain in the back over
the kidneys. I think it was caused .from
the constant shaking and jarring of the
car. I thought at nrst it would disap
pear as. quickly as It came, but thl wan
not tho case. Learning of Doan's Kidnev
Fills, I procured a box and took them ac
cording to directions. The result was en
tirely satisfactory. The backache trrew
less and less and soon disappeared, and
so far as I can tell it has gone for ennrt
for there have been no symptoms of IW
recurrence."
