On December 15, the governor-general of Warsaw, Albedinski, issued an order dividing the town into four districts and placing every district under the command of a regimental chief.

Troops were stationed in the streets and ordered to check all crowds, with the result that on the same day the disorders were stopped.
This, however, came too late.

For in the meantime some fifteen hundred Jewish residences, business places, and houses of prayer had been demolished and pillaged, and twenty-four Jews had been wounded, while the monetary loss amounted to several million rubles.

Over three thousand rioters were arrested--among them a large number of under-aged youths.

On the whole, the rioters were recruited from the dregs of the Polish population, but there were also found among them a number of unknown persons that spoke Russian.
