St. Petersburg, March .2.—Vast Lou
Quantities of hand bombs are being; freigli
Imported into Russia. The discovery
was accidentally made by the cus
toms authorities at Wirbajen, Russian
Poland, on opening an ordinary fruit
box marked "oranges,” which was
found to contain a hundred small
bombs.
Scores of similar boxes have been
coming in for weeks, and tho authori
ties hear they are already widely dis
tributed.
The bombs are not of the type of
those used by the terrorists. They
are more like hand grenades, and it
is thought possible that they were In
tended for distribution among tho
strikers as weapons with which to
fight the troops. The efforts made
by the police to locate the plotter*
have as yet been unavailing.

Paris. March 2.—The Socialist organ,
Humanite, today prints comments up
on two letters reproduced from the
Tribune Russe, bearing the signature
of “Gorges Gopan" (or Gopon), the
name of the Russian priest, who led
tho working mfcn towards the imperi
al palace at St. Petersbug Jan. 22, re
sulting in much bloodshed. The let
ters appear to be authentic although
several interviews on somewhat simi
lar lines heretofore have been dis-
erdited. On is a letter addressed to
“Nicholas Romanoff, former Czar and
actual assassin of of Russia,” says
blood of Innocent workmen and their
wives and children will forever sepa-
.rate their assassin and his heirs from
the Russian people. The fury of tho
people has now been unloosed and it
will be useless to offer them prom
ises.
The letter adds:
"Eombs and dynamite and the tor*
ror of popular Insurrection await thy
offspring and all assassins of the peo
ple. Rivers of blood- as never before
perhaps will flow and even Russia her
self may perish because of thee.
‘•Take warning, therefore, and quick
ly renounce with all thy family the
throne of Russia and present thyself
before the tribunal of the Russian peo
ple.
"Have pity on thy children, thou
who offers the peace to others, and
withholds it from thine own.”

TURKISH PROVINCES IN REVOLT.
Present Insurrection Puts In the 8hade
Previous Disturbances.
Constantinople, March 2.—The pres
ent insurrection In Yemen province,
Arabia, appears to put ln the shade
all previous revolts.
The center of the movement Is at
Saada, northward of Sanaa, and al
ready there are signs of Its extension
to the province of Assy’s. Tho Insur
gents have again surrounded Sanaa
and a stubborn fight has been In prog
ress for five days.
Many of the Turkish traps refused
to resist any further. In tho south
the towns of Aab and Heldjeh, the lat
ter containing 2,000 troops with four
guns are surrounded and on the point
of capitulating.
The alleged victory of Feb !, when
It was officially announced that the
Turkish forces had routed the rebels
Investing Sanaa and Hodelda, Yemen
province, and had relieved the be
sieged garrison of Sanaa, turns out
to have been an Insurgeut success.
Turkey’s defective transportation de
lays the despatch of reinforcements.
The object of the insurrection Is
lieved to be the creation of an auton-
•xtminifttratinn.
