RUSSIA’S AGONY.
OIL WELLS AFLAME. PEASANTS FLEEING. ( REFUGEES EVACUATED. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, August 13. According to reports from Moscow, disastrous fires have added to Russia’s other troubles. Eighteen oil wells at Baku are aflame, with no means of quelling the fires. The inhabitants are evacuating the town. Another fire has destroyed a large portion of the city of Pinsk. The All Russian Central Committee at Moscow, instead of imprisoning convicted Social Revolutionaries and Mensheviks, is sending them to the cholera-stricken regions to work. The evacuation committee has commenced the systematic removal of 100,000 peasants from the famine areas. Central Soviet refugees have been sent to Poland, Latvia and Lithuania.
