DISUNION IN RUSSIA.
MUTINOUS PROVINCES.
SEPARATE ARMY TOR POLES.
(Received 9.15 a.m.)
PETROGRAD, June 14.
Many organs, especially the Socialist papers, express dissatisfaction at the French and British replies to the Russian Note. They complain of ambiguous phrasing. Some interpret the replies as a direct refusal to, accept the Russian platform. Though it is expected that the Kronstadt mutineers would soon submit to the Government, their example has spread elsewhere. Reports from Tsaritsyn, Kherson, and Yienanovoc state that separate republics have been declared in those provinces. A reign of terror exists at Tearitsyn, but other towns are quiet. A congress of delegates from Polish troops are discussing a proposal to raise : a separate Polish army of half-a-million ! from the Poles at present serving in the Russian army. The deliberations have not yet concluded, but it is !;nown that an enormous majority of delegates favours the proposal.—(A. and N-Z.)
