seise the forta and the bridge leading
to Fort Cronatadt, but their plans were
foiled by the precautions taken by the
commander. After a severe fight the
loyal troops opened fire on them with
machine gone, and as they bad no ai
tillery available and the arsenal had

St. Petersburg, Aug. 3. Although
the mutinies at Sveaborg have been
ended and the one at Cronatadt has
been practically put down, the outlook
ia still black. The revolutionists,

ISLANDS' RICE IMPORTS SMALL.
Ide Says They Produce More, Mer
chants They Eat Less.
Manila, Aug. 3. Governor Ide has
received reports stating that during the
fiscal year ending June 30 the importa
tions of rics to the Philippines decreas
ed 61,072,411 pounds, valued at $3,
084,783 in gold. Commenting on tbe
reports Governor Ide says:
"From these reports it appears that
the number of pounds ot rice imported
into tbe Philippines during the fircal
year of 1906 was something lets than
three-sevenths of tbe importations of
1901, and tbe cash sent out from tbe
islands for rice was less than four-elevenths
of the sum sent in 1894. If tbe
same ratio of decrease for a year or even
a semester, no more rice will be import
ed and in two years the islands, besides
supplying tbe home demand, ought to
be exporting rice."
Tbe publication of these reports has
caused a controversy. Tbe local ship
pers contend that tbe decrease of im
portations is a result of tbe poverty of
the people, who, it is alleged, are not
buying rice, but are living on yams and
other food. The shippers declare that
the Philippines will never export rice.

ask for a limited divorce on the same
grounds under which an absolute di
vorce is granted. Limited divorce in
extreme cases is recommended.

bnrg la in darkness tonight. Tba em
ployee ot the electric lighting plants,
always tba earliest barometric record ot
political conditiona, eeated work daring
the afternoon in obedience to tba call
for a general strike. This call already
haa been obeyed by 20,000 factory
hands in the capital, H will be im
possible, however, to predict the suc
cess of this universal political strike
until Monday, a the workmen in St.
Petersburg and the provinces bava two
holidays Saturday, which ia the fe'e
day ot the dowager empress and a great
religions feast, and their regular holi
day of Sunday.

were tbe most conspicuous features on
the streets ot St. Petersburg last night.
Business booses generally have boarded
up tbeir windows as tbey did in tbe
days ot the great October strike. Prac
tically all ol tbe street cars in the city
have stopped running, aad tbe cab driv
ers are threatening to cease work.

Stolypio cabinet sways In tba balance
and Russia i upon the verge ol disor
ders which may lead to the reign of
either the military or the proletariat.

toward a dictatorship may be t-tkea

empire where martial law haa been

Japanese government wonld undoubted
ly carry out all tbe pledges made before
and since tbe war to maintain "the
open door" in Msnchnria. Regarding
ths criticism of foreign merchants, he
said there were due to - Impatience.
The terms of occupation demanded that
Japan adopt tbe measures now in vogue,
but as soon as the military occupation
was ended and this would be soon, ar
rangements would be male to carry out
the pledges regarding an "open door"
policy. Tiue, the bulk of the army
bad been repatriated, but there was
still a large force ii Manchutla. There
was also Russian troops In occupation.
While It wss not known definitely what
Russia was doing regarding tbe with
drawal, it was known that troops were
steadily being withdrawn and it waa
necessary that tbe Japanese military
admlnistrstion continue to occupy the
country nntil tbe withdrawal waa com
plete. "Haa Dalny been made a free port
and are other nations than Tapanese re
stricted from trsding via that port wltb
Manchuria?"
"That I cannot tell yon," replied
Baron Komura. "This much I can say,
though, ths pledges made by Japan re
garding Manchuria will be carried out
in every particular as soon aa the term
of occupation by the military forcea has
expired."

from the fortress tends to confirm a

they bad failed to secure, and the ar
rival of the warships.

have been hurried to effective positions.
