YOGOSLAV REVOLT.

Alleged Rebellion Plan by Croat Peasants. ARMS PROM ITALY ? j (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 12 noon.) GENEVA, October 9. Sensational reports of a revolutionary plot for which Croatian peasants were drilling with rifles, revolvers and bombs said to have been landed by an Italian submarine tween Karlobag and Jablanatz, led >to 120 arrests in North Dalmatia. .

It is alleged that the ringleaders, who fled, were formerly Parliamentarians and members of the Raditch party.

Mr. Markovitcli, Assistant-Minister of the Interior, with 1000 gendarmes, mountain batteries and machine-gun sections, is making investigations and confiscating arms. The Government has ordered increased activity of torpedo-boat patrols between Fiume and Spalato.

The rebels destroyed four police posts and held five gendarmes as hostages..

Parnan, a Crotian leader, was wounded at Skupshtine when Paul Kaditch was assassinated in Parliament in 1928. Eight others were arrested at Zagreb.

Two prominent politicians were killed and four seriously wounded in a remarkable outrage in the Yugoslav Parliament on June 20, 1928. Following a violent debate, an ex-Minister, Dr. Rachitch, fired several shots from a revolver at the deputies representing the Peasants' Party, led by Dr. Stefan Raditch, whose nephew, Paul, and Dr. Djura Baesaritchek, were killed. Pernan was one of the injured, receiving a shot in a lung, while Dr. Stefan Raditch himself had a bullet extracted from his lung.
