evening. Upon, landing. however,
hurried inquiry revealed the. fact that
the troops and loyal sailors apparent
Iy had the upper hand. Fighting had
ceased in the streets. and the town
was quiet, but fears were expressed
that there might be further trouble
later. Patrols are hunting and cap
turing mutineers. -!
The outbreak started Yesterday aft
ernoon, when sailors of the Seventh
Forth Equipage revolted and, it is
rumored, killed some of their officers.
They marched out of the barracks
and Immediately piundered four spir-
it shops. Crazed with liquor, they
returned and seized their arms and
then went on a rampage, firing pro-
miscuously upon the. troops and loyal
sailors. Later they were joined by
many of their comrades and the fight
s i2g continued from midnight until
morning, when the terror stricken
inhabitants began to flee. The low
est estimates place the number of
dead at so. Several regiments with
eight machine guns from st. Peters
