MUTlNEERS FOUGHT
 SOLDIERS ALL NIGHT The Heavy Cannonading Was Awe h. splring to the Thousands Who
 Were in tho Vicinity .BROADSIDS EXCHANGED The Tearing Up of Bridges Has Delayed the Arrival of the
 Reinforcements.

Helsingfors, Finland. Aug 1.-The fight between the mutineers and the loyal troops was waged during most of the past night. The cannonade was heavy. the firing of the>guns fur nishing an overlapping spectacle to the thousands lining the points of vantage on Observatory hill.
 The loyal minority seemed to com mand the forts on Nicholai Island, which was engaged in duel with Sandhamm's formidable masked bat teries. At 10 o'clock this morning they were still exchanging broad sides at ten minutes intervals. The victims transported to Hesingfors number less than fifty, of whom fif- teen are dead. But thus far the number of killed or wounded in the Sveaborg hospitals has not been as- |certainable.
 Order has been restored at Skatud- den Island, where 110 sailors and eleven civilians have been disarmed.
 From the civilian point of view the local situation is easier.
 No cruisers are visible. Troops are expected here, but the destruc- tion of the bridge near Rihimaeki railroad station and the tearing up of the permanent way at several points delays the arrival of reinforce 'ments.
 The town is quiet and business Is proceeding, but the wOfkmen are on strike.
 The diet at sitting late last night issued warning to the population to abstain from participation in acts which might possibly gravely affect the whole country.
 The revolt, 1t is pointed out, oc- cured on the anniversary of a min ing disaster which was caused by the recklessness of some officers and re- suited in the loss of a dozen lives.
 Copies of the Viborg manifesto of the outlawed parliament are being distributed among the Cossacks, who quietly put the min their pockets
 A naval squadron, including the battleship Slava, is reported to have sailed from Reval this afternoon for Sveaborg.
 The telegraph building here has been ruined and the barracks and cathedral have been badly damaged by the fire of the eleven-inch guns. The number of wounded and killed have probably been over estimated.
 The socialists are on the alert and the towns people are in fear of a cannonade if the naval squadron ar rives here.
 There was panic all day long yes- terday among the summer residents on the islands of the archipelago, ow- ing to the fall of stray bullets and shells, which caused a number of both on the islands and in the city. A man sitting on the veran- da of the Yach club was mortally wounded. and servant girl was killed.
 For more than a week Russian revolutionists have been working among the troops. distributing the viborg and Group of Toll manifes- tos. and 1t is reported that on Sun day 1.500 soldiers took an oath to fight on the side of the people.
