MILITARY DISAFFECTION DISCUSSED IN ST.
PETERSBURG MORNING PAPERS.
St Petersburg, June 22.—A large
proportion of the news appearing In
the papers of this city this morning
consists of dispatches telling of mili
tary disaffection. In addition to the
outbreaks at Sevastopol and Ryazan,
reported on Thursday, the t dispatches
report that the garrison of Krasno
yarsk, capital of the province of Yen
isei, and one of the principal cities of
Siberia, mutinied and killed its offi
cers out of hand.
The trouble was caused by an in
toxicated colonel named Shurin, who,
hearing a titter from a group of en
listed men, sabred one of the soldiers.
The latter’s companions thereupon
felled the colonel with clubs.
Two of the soldiers were arrested,
and as soon as the news spread the
regiment mutinied and demanded the
release of their comrades. Captain
Kosmin, who ordered his company to
fire on the mutineers, was killed by
his own men.
The population of Krasnoyarsk is in
a panic.
Minister*• of Marine Birileff again
visited Cronstadt yesterday and urged
the mutinous sailors to return floyally
to their duty.
Kielce, a Polish city with ;a great
Jewish population, was on the verge
yesterday of an experience such as
that through which Bialystok has just
passed. During a religious procession,
a shot was fired, wounding a gend-
' arme, but the police succeeded in
Holding the populace in check. The
man who fired the shot, a Pole, was
arrested.
At Gomel, where rumors of an im
pending anti-Jewish outbreak are rife,
the military authorities yesterday
summoned a deputation of Jews, who
declared that , they had evidence that
excesses were being planned and even
named the leaders of the ifiot; but the
commandant succeeded in reassuring
them.
Probably as the direct result of the
Bialystok affair, the Jews of Moscow
have been allowed to open the only
synagogue in the city, which has been
closed for twenty years. The prefect
in announcing the Emperor’s decision
asked the rabbis to use their influence
with the Jewish youth to restrain
them from their revolutionary course.

Savannah, June 22. — There is a
strong movement on foot in Savannah
to have Capt. R. J, Davant become a
candidate for mayor as a representa
tive of one of the political factions,
or as an independent. It is possible
that he will make the race. Captain
Davant is now a member of Council,
having been elected by the people as
a Citizens’ Club candidate. He is one
of the aldermen, however, who “kicks
out of the traces" when things do not
go to suit him, and this is what makes ''T' , , "Rt-ncTiiac
some of those who want an indeppnd- OUlll -DrUoflcS,
ent candidate throw their eyes in his
direction. It is too early to say with
positiveness who will run for mayor,
but Captain Davant is one of the men
to be reckoned with. Mr. George W.
Tledeman is. another man. It is pos
sible that the People's Demdcratic
League may run him. Mr. Tledeman
has always been a Citizens’ Club man,
but on the last election day he showed
up with a People’s League- badge
pinned on his coat, and this put the
wise ones to talking.
