The SebastOpOI Mutlny.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 28.-Though the
mutineers at Sebastopol are still mas
ters of the situation at Admiralty Point
and though armed parties have appar-
emily free access to the town, notwith-
standing the announcements.b by the au-
thorities that the roads leading to it
were blockaded, dispatches received
yesterday from Vice-Admiral Chouknin,
commanding the Black Sea fleet, pres
sent the situation in an optimistic light.
These dispatches, which were read at
an extraordinary council of the admiral
ty, declare that most of the mutineers
have decided to surrender with their
arms, though such action involves trial
for mutiny before a court-martial.
This is confirmed in part by a dispatch
to the Novoe Vreymia which says that
the spirit of the mutineers is failing
and that several bodies have already
surrendered.
On the other hand, dispatches to the
Associated Press from Sebastopol say
that revolutionary orators succeeded
yesterday in winning over battalion of
reservists, and that, in spite of the ar
rival of reinforcements to the number
of several thousands, the authorities did
not dare to interfere with review held
by the mutineers before the cathedral
of st. Vladimir, which is the very heart
of the town.
The latest dispatch from Sebastopol
says that the mutineers forced the Of
ficers and crew of the cruiser Otchakoff
to leave the ship. The crews of the
battleships Rostislay and Tria Sviatit-
ALA, so far as at present known, have
not mutinied. One reserve battalion,
however, has joined the mutineers.
Several companies of the Wilma regi-
ment have arrived at Sebastopol from
Theodosia. Martial law has been de-
clared in the fortress.

New Orleans, La, Nov. 27.-Blame
for the collision between the United
Fruit steamer Esparata and the United
States lighthouse tender Magnolia,
while the latter was conveying Presi-
dent Roosevelt from New Orleans to the
cruiser West Virginia was fixed on the
Esparata by Captains Kells and Bean,
the local inspectors. Their report finds
that Captain w. R. Fields, of the Mag
noIia did not violate the rules governing
inland waters and that the Esparata
caused the collision by starboarding and
attempting to pass the Magnolia when
the Magnolia's red light was in sight,
and by answering one whistle to the
two. The Esparata being British ship
and Captain p F. Arroyo was acting as
her pilot, the inspectors state they have
no jurisdiction over him in connection
with the collision.
The damage sustained by the Mag
nolia has been estimated at $25, 900 and

brought suit for that amount. The de-
