MUTINY HAS ENDED
The Sveaborg and Cronstadt Upris-
inss Have Been Suppressed But
the Outlook Is Black.
WILD PANIC AT PETERHOF.
Rcvolutionists Assert That the
Word Has Gone Forth ma Fire
of Revolt VIII Spread to Corr
ners of the Empire.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 3.-Although
the mutinies at Sveaborg have been
ended and the one at Cronstadt has
been practically put down, the outlook
is still black. The revolutionists,
whose hands were suddenly forced
by the premature rising at SveaborS,
apparently are undaunted at these in
itial reverses and intends to persist in
their programme of calling a general
strike on Saturday or Monday
One of the leaders of the revolu-
tionists with whom the Associated
Press spoke last night boosted that
the word had gone forth and that the
fire of revolt would spread to the cor
rers of the empire. His closing words
to the correspondent were: Now
watch Reval, Riga and Libau."
The news of the mutiny on board
the cruiser Pamyat Azova, off the Els
thonian coast, is fraught with enor-
nous possibilities. The crew of this
vessel rose and killed the commander
and four officers.
Ambassador Meyer has received
despatch from the American consul
at Reval saying that the Pamyat Azo-
va entered that port Thursday after
noon with the red flag at her mast
head. Should this cruiser, under the
flag of the mutineers, sail to the
northward and appear in the presence
of the main squadron i'll the gulf OF
Finland, the loyalty of the crews or
these vessels would perhaps be put
to stronger test than they could
stand. Although the admiralty as
serts that the squadron off Sveaborg
did not waver in it's allegiance, there
is something mysterious about the re-
ports of the actions of the ships which
warrants the suspicion that all is not
right aboard. Only two ships fired
on the mutineers, the others remain
ing on the horizon as if the admiral
was not sure that they could be de-
pended upon
When the firing began at Cronstadt
Wednesday night there ensued wild
panic in the imperial palace at Peter
hof, as the palace lies under the guns
of the fortress. All preparations had
been made in advance to flee to Tsars'
| koe-Selo, but the report afioat
Wednesday afternoon that the emt
peror and his family actually had
fled in the middle of the night was
denied later at the chancellory of the
| imperial household. 1t was explained
however that on account of damp
ness" at Peterhof arrangements had
been made for the return of the i'm
perial family to Tsarskoe-Selo.
The correspondent found that at G
Cclock Wednesday evening there
we're about 1000 mutinous sailors
barricaded in their barracks, which
were surrounded by troops.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 3.-On the heels
of the other bad news comes the state
ment that the emperor has fatty re-
fused to accept the conditions TO
which Premier Stolypin agreed in his
negotiations with Count Heyden, Alex
ander Guchkoff, Prince Nicholas Lvoff,
Paul Vinogradoff and Senator Koni for
the reorganization of the cabinet.
There is an increasing apprehension
that the emperor proposes to take the
final step of turning the country over
to the military dictatorship of Grand
Duke Nicholas.
The streets of st. Petersburg again
are filled with patrols.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 3.-The crew
of the Russian cruiser Asia, which
was sent to. Abo, has hoisted the red
flag. The vessel has left in the direc-
tion of Sveaborg.
