st. Petersburg, Nov 27.--Altogether
events in governmental analrs are lost
sight Of in the reported mutiny of
sailors and infantry at Sebastopol and
fears Of future possibilities even in
st. Petersburg. The revolutionary
formant, in spite of the efforts of Of
ficers, Is known TO have affected a
portion of the enlisted strength of
many regiments, and the Sebastopol
mutiny may be the spark that is nee,
essary to set in flame a widespread
revolt.
A dispatch from Sebastopol says the
condition of Rear Admiral Pisarevsli,
who was wounded Friday by mutt
neers, is critical. 1t is not known
whether the men attacked other Of.
hCers.
The outbreak at Sebastopol com,
plicates the problem of the govern
mcnt for dealing with the agrarian
situation. These disorders are grow
ing and governors Of five provinces
have sent representatives to the gov
eminent that the troops available are
insufficient to restore order and ur-
gently appealing for reinforcements,
and therefore 1t is not easy TO organ

lief of Sebastopol COssack battalions

No Drunken FroIic.
That the outbreak at Sebastopol Is
no drunken frolic, as was the case at

made clear by the tone Of an official
issued by the admiralty

sailors and several units Of troops
we're acting under the direct innu-
enco Of the sociallstic propaganda.
The statement follows;
"rhe events at Cronstadt have

Vice Admiral Choultnin reports that
sailors, under the influence of the so
cialistic propaganda, have organized
at Sebastopol series of demonstra-
lions. The movement has spread to
