Demands of Sailors.

So far as known, most of the demands of
the mutineers have to do with service con-
ditions, including the release Of reservists
who have served beyond their time, in
crease OF pay, increase in the allowance of
food and the removal of alleged incompe-
tent and brutal officers.
Beyond a determination to proclaim mar
tial law, nothing of a definite nature has
transpired regarding the decisions arrived
at by the Admiralty council, but it is re-
ported that the council agreed as to the
justice of many of the demands made by
the mutineers and would recommend TO
the emperor that immediate steps be taken
to ameliorate the condition of the sailors.
The latest dispatch from Sebastopol says
that the mutineers forced the officers and
crew Of the cruiser Otchhakoff to leave the
ship. The crews of the battleships Rostl-
slav and Tria Sviatitalia so far as at pres
ent known, have not mutined. One reserve
battalion, however, has Joined the mutt
neers. Several companies of the wilma reg
iment have arrived at Sebastopol from
Theodosia. Martial law has been declared
in the fortress.
WOrkmen Congratulate Mutineers.
The workmens council has telegraphed
congratulations to the mutineers az sebas-
topol as follows:
