st. Petersburg (By Cable).--Though
reports were received confirming those
previously received stating that the up
risings at Sveaborg and Cronstadt had
been crushed, the prospect is still dark
and gloomy
The mutiny at Cronstadt caused a
panic at the imperial palace at Peterhof,
as the palace lies under the guns of
the fortress.
All preparations had been made in
advance to flee to Tsarskoc- Sclo. the inn
perial yacht Polar Star being near at
hand, with steam constantly kept up.
1t was reported that the Gar and his
family actually had fed in the middle
OF the night but this was denied later
at the chancellory of the imperial house
hold. 1t is explained, however, that on
account of "dampnesS' at Petcrhof, ar
fragments had been made for the re-
turn Of the imperial family to Tsarskoe-
Selo.
Perhaps the most sensational incident
OF the day was the successful mutiny
on the armored cruiser Pamyat Azova.
the muiineers are reported to have killed
the captain and four other officers OF
the warship while off the Esthonian
Coast.
Ambassador Meyer has received
dispatch from the American consul at
Reval, saying that the Pamyat Azova
entered that port with the red flag at
her masthead
Later reports, however, showed that
when the cruiser reached the roadstead
at Reval she was in possession of the
loyal portion Of her crews One hun
dred and fifty OF the mutineers have
been sent ashore and imprisoned.
The loyal men gained the upper hand
OF the mutineers at sea. When the ship
came in here they asked for a de-
tachment OF troops to aid them in hand
ing over the mutineers to the authori-
ties. Three officers whom the mutineers
had placed in irons are aboard the YES
sci.
The remainder OF the crew has been
disarmed.
An agitator has been arrested.
The crew of the Russian cruiser Asia.
which was sent to Abo. has hoisted the
red flag. The vessel has left in the di-
rection OF Svcaborg.
Although the admiralty asserts that
the squadron off Svcaborg did not wa

tions of the ships which warrants the sus-

others remaining on the horizon as if
the admiral were not sure that they
could be depended upon
The mutiny on the Pamyat Azova
may possibly raise international COM
plications, as in the eye OF the law this
cruiser. like the Kniaz Potemkine in the
Black Sea in the summer of 1905 is
a pirate. There is reason to believe
that the German fleet has orders cover
ing Just such contingency as this, and
that II would not hesitate to put an end
to the renegade cruiser as danger to
commerce.
AT the same time it was reported that
a military instruction had broken out
at Reval which is the capital OF the
government OF Esthonia and is situated
on an arm OF the Gulf of Finland, 200
miles southwest of ST. Petersburg. 1t is
a naval station of the second class.
There was also a report that serious
conflicts had occurred at Helsingfors be-
tween the communal police and the So
cialists Red Guards.
The regular police. as well as the
communal guards, were called out dur
ing the afternoon. Among the casualties
were the chief OF police, who was
wounded, and his assistant who was
killed
Although the mutines at Sveaborg
have been ended and the one at Cron-
stad has been practically put down, the
out look is still black. The revolution
lists whose hands were suddenly forced
by the premature rising at Sveaborg, ap-
parently are undaunted at these initial
reverses and intend to persist in their
program of calling a general strike.
One of the leaders of the revolution
lists boasted that the word had gone
forth and that the fire of revolt would
spread to the corners OF the empire
His closing words were
"Now watch Reval, Riga and Libau."
In the Sveaborg mutiny seven COM
panies OF artillery were concerned, and
OF the fortress steamers the Vietrelli,
Puskar. Rabotschi, Imgemier and Mars
were in the hands of the mutinecrs while
the Bomba. Opt and Syeaborg remain
ed loyal. The Opt was furiously bonn
barded by the mutineers, and they
threatened TO sink the Bomba at the
first opportunity, even il she hosted
the red flag.
During the Skatudden Island mutiny
only one, the Finn, of six vessels sta
toned in the North harbor fired on the
marine barracks occupied by mutineers.
The others remained passive.
