Premier Kcrensky's troops met the vanguard of the rebels twenty-six miles from tho capital nnd brought them to a halt by determined resistance. At another point, however, Korniloff's columns have reached Gatschina, nineteen miles from Petrograd. The Don Cossacks, led by General Kaledin, have joined the rebellion. Klembovsky, named to succeed KornilofT as conimumler-in-chicf, has gone over to his former leader, along with Generals Denikine and Vnluycff, com manders of the western and southwestern fronts. Despite the multiplication of his enemies, Premier Kercnsky maintains a firm grip on the situation and is confident the revolt will "be crushed by the loyal troops, acting in concert with his followers among the people. I'KTItO('ItM). Sept. 12. The provisional Government has proclaimed a general state oT martial law. Announcement was also made that provisional Government forces are now in possession of Pskoff, originally General KornilolT's headquarters and from which city he started ott his rebellious march toward Pelrograd. By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD PETROGRAD, Sept. 12. Tsarkoe Selo, where the Czar formerly spent most of his time in his summer palace, may be the scene of the first big clash between General Korniloff's lebels and the provisional Government troops. Premier Kercnsky" has massed n heavy force at that point. Word received hetc today said the revolting forces were advancing rapidly toward Tsarkoe Selo twenty miles from the city and that a clash was momentarily expected there. Progrcns of Korniloff's advanced forces was stopped at one point twenty six miles from the city by a force of a thousand Government; sharpshooters, according to word here. t In another direction the encircling attempt of the Kornilolf rebels has reached Gatschina, nineteen miles ftom tho city. joins ri:iii:i.s -"SM2SS&SS CmUum r "fifteen, .Cetaw Twe ,i kka - , ,ij,c. j cr. .. -& .y- -s WKV' !'.MSiisU,r.wf .-fj KUHMHOVSICY Pi ess tepotls lecelved hero today asfettid that General Klembovsky had Joined Kornl loft In his revolt.
