(Reuter'a Service.)
LONDON, September 16. The Soviet Embassy in London declares that the Georgian reports of the revolution in Trans Caucasia, cabled earlier, are absolutely untrue.
Georgia and the Caucasus are generally quiet. All that happened was a series of raids on small towns in East Georgia, on August 29, by small bands of brigands.
These were led by dispossessed nobles or Tsarist officers; the affair was planned by the so-called Georgian Independence Committee, com posed of ex-nobles financed from abroad.
The bands everywhere were dispersed by the local forces within 48 hours.
The peasants and workers opposed the ad- venture, the leaders of which issued a manifesto, on September 4, calling upon their supporters to lay down their arms.

In Paris it is believed that the Soviet troops command only the country round Batum and that their only hope of reoccupying the interior will to be land reinforcements at Batum and attack the region behind, but it is believed that the troops are not properly equipped and therefore the Georgians, by blowing up the Souran tunnel, have cut the only railway giving access to the in- terior from Batum, A Berlin message to the Georgian Legation states that three notorious mem bers of the Cheka, Peters, Pankratoff, and a Chinaman named Li, have been sent to Batum with unlimited powers to suppress the revolt in the most

MRADOWBROOK, September 16.
American team
In the second game for the international polo cup, played here to-day, the defeated the British by 14 goals to 5.
Colonel Phipps-Horoby replaced Mr. Hurndall
in the British team.
RUMOURS OF DISSENSION.
The dropping of Mr. Hurndall in to-day's test match, caused considerable surprise.
The change has revived rumours of dissension among the members of the teat, which were brought to a head by the departure of Lord Wimborne on Saturday,
While the members of the team have always stoutly denied that there has been dissension, Mr. Hurndall, in an interview for a New York paper, says he does not mind being put off the team; but considers it a high-handed procedure for other members of the committee to change the team without consulting him.
He has cabled his views on the matter to England. He is greatly put out over the whole
business.
Similar things have been happening over since the British team started practice for the international matches, months ago.
Mr. Hurndall said that many, including himself, had been blamed for the numerous disagreements and for the weakness of the British team.
AN UPHILL FIGHT.
There were 25,000 people present, including the Prince of Wales.
The British, four showed unexpectedly sound team-work and led at the end of the first chukkeri by 2 goals to I.
