 St Petersburg, Aug. S-The latest news from the fortress of Sveaborg, near the city of Helsingfors. Finland. in which 8 battle has occurred be- tween mutineers and loyal troops con- firms the report that th~ mutineers have surrendered.
 The mutineers undoubtedly had the upper hand until the battleships Slava and Cesarevitch arrived on the scene and commenced to Lombard them, with such telling effect that the cen tral magazine was blown up and the biggest guns in the hands of the revo- lutionists were rendered practically useless.
 Commander Toget and 2,000 loyal in- fantrymen then surrounded the bar racks They poured upon the revolu- tionists a continual fire, to which they could not reply.
 The mutineers were~led to surrender because of their lack of guns. their need of provisions, which they had failed to secure, and the arrival of the warships.
 Cruiser Mutinies.
 Order has been restored in the bar racks at Skatudden island. which an overwhelming force of troops reached by the bridge connecting the island and the city.
 'Now watch Revel, Riga and Libau." This sentence, we'll distributed throughout St Petersburg by means of handbills, was under discussion when the news came that the crew of the armored cruiser Pamyat Azova had mutinied off the Esthonian coast. had captured the ship and had sailed toward Reyel. It wnS further said that the captain and four officers of the cruiser were killed by the muti- neers who captured the warship.
 Later it was learned that the Pam. vat Azova had arrived in the road stead of Revel in the possession of the loyal portion of her crew. One hundred nf ho sir,n ashore and imprisoned.
 The loyal men gained the upper hand of the mutineers at sea. When the ship came into Revel they asked for a detachment of troops to aid them in handing over the mutineers to the authorities.
 Three officers whom the mutineerS had placed in irons are on board the vessel The remainder of the crew has been diSarmed. An agitator has been arrested.
 No official report of the casualties at Sveaborg can be had. It is estimated that five officers and fifty men were killed and 15o men were wounded.
 On the heels of the other bad news comes the startling statement that the emperor has tiatly refused to accept the conditions to which Premier Stoly pin agreed in his negotiations with Count Heyden, Alexander Guchkoff, Prince Nicholas Lvoff. Paul Vinagra- doff and Senator Koni for the reorgan- ization of the cabinet.
 May Declare Dictatorship.
 There is increasing apprehension that the emperor proposes to take the final step of turning the country over to the military dictatorship of Grand Duke Nicholas.
 ''Citizens, all to whom freedom is dear. we call upon you for decisive struggle against the government of the cZar for representative government, for land and liberty; we call upon you to join in general strike to overthrow the imperial government and the au- thorities defending them. Hurrah for a general strike and decisive battle for power for the people"
 These are the closing words of an ap- peal to the country issued jointly by the Social Democrats and Labor mem bers of the dismissed douma commit tees of Poles and Jews and various avowedly revolutionary bodies.
 The great general strike proclaimed throughout Russia has not been sue cessful. and the Worhmen'S council has decided to call off the strike in this city. Reports from other cities and the provinces indicate that workmen there are still detern.ned to hold out. Lead CTS of the revolutionary movement here do not believe. however. that after the men return to work in this city the workmen of the provinces will con, tinue the strike Should they decide to remain out. however, they will receive the support of the workers of St Pc tersburg.
 All the indications are that the call
