UNSETTLED BAKU.
THREAT OF SOVIET CONTROL. By Telegraph.—Pres3 Assn.—Copyright. Received May 2, 11 p.m. London, April 30. The Australian Press Association learns there is no official confirmation Of Moscow's claim that a Communist Government has been established at Baku, and a proposed military alliance with the Soviet Government, but recent news from Baku indicated very unsettled conditions. It seems likely the Government of the new Republic of Azerbaidjan, in which Baku is situated, proved too weak to control the revolutionary elements. The situation is complicated owing to hitter fighting between Tartars and Armenians during the past two months. Several l.vnchings and assassinations have taken place, culminating in the murder of four hundred Armenians in Marabagh. The Armenians retaliated and marched on Marabagh in strength, and kidnapped the Tartar governor as a hostage, but an armistice was arranged a fortnight later.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
