Up to a late hour last night there had been no collision between the Korniloff forces and those of the government, according to an official statement which added that there was no longer reason to expect a clash. General Korniloff, indeed, was believed to be on the point of abandoning his effort. One report had it that he had offered to surrender on certain terms but that the government demanded his unconditional capitulation. This news was preceded by dispatches announc ing that Korniloff was rapidly being deserted by his adherents including a division of Moslem troops which had advanced as far as Tsarskoe Selo only fifteen miles from Petrograd and which on hearing the government's explanation of the situation asked to be sent home to the Caucasus. On the other hand reports came through Sweden of further advances of the Korniloff forces toward Petrograd and even that fighting had occurred in which the general's troops had been successful near Luga. Petrograd, Sept. 12.—Numerous delegations from General Corniloff's army are arriving at the staff office of the Petrograd lilitary district in a penitent mood, the Associated Press has een informed by Premier Kerensky's secretary. The soldiers leclare they have been deceived as to the aims of General Korni- Dff's rebellion. General Palchinsky, second in command to General Savinkoff, ommander of the Petrograd district declares the revolt may now e considered to be a final and irretrievable failure. He says the [uestion of General Korrtiloff's surrender is now a matter of econdary importance. Premier Kerensky's appointment as commander-in-chief of i 11 the armies has been confirmed officially by the cabinet. Gen raleral Alexieff has been confirmed as his chief-of-staff. Vice J remier Nekrasoff announces that General Alexieff has sent a clegram to General Korniloff demanding his immediate urrender. A division of General Korniloft's! orces, composed of Moslem troops, as reached Tsarskoe Selo, fifteen ltles south of Petrograd. Kugu heff, a loyal Mohammedan officer, ras sent to treat with them and hey agreed to atmndon resistance 0 the provisional government on ondition that they be sent home to he Caucasus, where they must not e employed against the Turks, their o-religionlsts. Premier Kerensky greed to the proposal. According to official statements, he so-called "savage" division omposed of Georgians and Cauca ians, is the only unit of troops sent gainst Petrograd which remains Dlid for General Korniloff. That ody is now at Taarakoe Selo. Up > yesterday afternoon it was feared jrce would have to b,e applied to but now it seems the situation has leared. No Idea of Aim It appears to be undoubted that ie "savage" division, though devot -1 to General Korniloff, had no idea f their destination or his aim. The ivision consists of eight regiments f fierce Caucasus cavalry recruitea Imost exclusively from the tribes igushes, Kabardintsi and Ossen ndans and contains a few tartars. Imost all arc Mohammedans and mong them —are many princes, ome are wholly uneducated. Their Dmmander is General Bagratlon. The submission of the "savage" ivision was brought about through ie devotion of a group of their co iligionists to the government. The ■lbesmen do not speak Russian, ispect and dread Christians and hen approached by th egovern ifnt's Russian emissaries refused > listen to them and threatened :em with arrest. , To Be Unpunished A Mohammedan tartar artillery 'ficer, General Kugusheff, with her Moslem officers, who are de )ted to the government, yesterday ent on a mission.

They were: The abandonment of General Kor niloff by Moslem troops and other professional fighters on whom Kor niloff probably had placed much re liance in his advance on Petrograd. The appointment of General Alexieff, former commander-in-chief, as chief of staff under Premier Kerensky. The first was interpreted as an in dication that the revolt was fast facing collapse unlfess new help cam* from sources yet undisclosed.

General Alexieff was largely re sponsible for adherence of the army to the revolution which deposed the Romanoffs. There is much speculation here on the probable punishment of Kor nlloff and his supporters if their movement falls, particularly since the death penalty Is no longer in flicted in Russia except at the front and because Korniloff stood so high in popular estimation that the gov ernment may hesitate to deal drasti cally with him.
