(SISTER'S TELEGRAM.)
COPENHAGEN; 25th Sept. Advices from Petrograd state that it is estimated that the Bolsheviks killed a total of ten thousand people in Petrograd in one day. They ordered the execution of seventy-two officers, without specifying the names. A number of British and French officers have taken refuge in the American Consulate, under Norway's protection. The Bolsheviks posted guards round the building and demanded the surrender of the officers, but did not enter the Consulate.
