St. Petersburg, June 25.—R Is again
stated In high circles that the Ooremy
kin ministry la to be dismissed within
a fen- days.
It la recognised that the Implication
of government officiate In the Blalystok
massacres has made this Imperative.
Even a strong party In the council of
the empire has Joined In the demand
for the retirement of the ministry, and
I learn that Count Witte has Informed
the csar that Russia's position Is lm-
periled by the continuance of Goremy
kin at the head of the government. The
Liberals hope the czar will constitute a
ministry under the advice at the dou-
ma. but thla Is extremely Improbable.
Report Is Alarming.
In the meantime newe continues to
reach here of the slaughter of officials
In various parts of the empire and of
additional mutiny among the troops.
The moot ominous new* comes from
Moscow. It Is alarming because of Its
vagueness.
The report say's that the sound of
field guns and rifle volleys was heard
