Workmen Without Clothing and Destitute.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 10.-M. Pappe, the St. Petersburg representative of the Baku Bourse, said to-day that the situation at Baku continued to show a distinct improvement. Telegrams received by him to-day from the oil men report the steady arrival of troops, five further battalions having reached Baku, and the worst is believed to be over. Later reports show that, in addition to the refineries in the Black Town district, about 30 per cent of the oil property in the well district escaped.
A lamentable feature of the situation, according to M. Pappe, is the condition of the workmen, many of whom are without sufficient clothing and utterly destitute. He paid a high compliment to Finance Minister Kokovtsov for the energy with which he has acted since the uprising began. The Minister visited the Emperor twice to lay before him the gravity of the situation, as the result of which his majesty twice telegraphed to the Viceroy to spare no efforts to protect the oil industry.
It is officially reported that all the British residents of Baku are safe.
The Riga and Orel and the Baltic and Nikolai railroads have decided, in consequence of the scarcity of naphtha, to purchase large quantities of English coal.
