REVOLT RUMOUR.
RUSSIAN RISING.
Crimean Ports Gosed By Mines. PEASANTS AND CEREAL PRICES (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Receive - n a.m.) CONSTANTINOPLE, February 1. The Naval Attache at the British Embassy, Captain C. D. Burke, has been informed by the Turkish authorities that the Russian ports in the Crimea have been closed bv mines.
The newspapers report an outbreak of revolution in South Russia, which is attributed to the peasants being dissatisfied with the prices the Soviet has fixed for cereals.
It is believed the revolt is also receiving help from a number of officers and men of the Red Army who are supporting Trotsky. The Soviet Government is mobilising large military and naval forces to stamp out the rebellion.
A message from Moscow reports that the Foreign Office denies the revolt and states that trains are arriving regularly with passengers from that locality who say there is no foundation for the stories.
