One thousand revolutionists were arrested at Warsaw last Friday and Saturday. Professor Yaroschenko.

The professor has resigned his position owing to the sentence of banishment. The strikes at Rega have ended. Two boys at Odessa, aged fifteen and thirteen years, were publicly executed for filing from their father’s house on troops. Lenient sentences have been passed on the mutineers belonging to the transport Prout. Fifteen were acquitted. The crew of the Prout mutinied early last month. They killed the second lieutenant and the boatswain, and arrested the captain and officers. Their insurrection, however, was short-lived, for they reached Sebastopol in a repentant mood, and invited the officers to resume command.
