st. Petersburg, July 1S.-There was
an incipient mutiny in the fortress of
st. Peter and ST. Paul yesterday. Two
soldiers refused to obey the orders OF
their commander, and, when threaten
ed with arrest, the. whole of the regi-
ment to which the two men belonged
came to their support. A court of in
curry will be instituted to ascertain all
the facts in the case.
, Owing to the outbreak of disorders
among the Cossacks and the demands
presented by some of them to be re-
lieved of police duty and allowed to
return to their homes, the minister of
war has ordered the disarmament of
several battalions of Kuban Cossacks.
Trepoff' Dies by Proxy.
Beyond question the murderer of
Gen. Kozlov last Saturday believed he
was killing Gen. Trepoff. The tragedy
occurred at $3.50 in the evening, in the
presence of several thousand people
who were listening to the music in the
English park below the grand chateau,
adjoining the park of Alexander pal
ace, where the imperial family and
Gen. Trepoff reside. A young man
dressed in the clothes of workman,
seeing Gen. Kozlov. who resembles
Gen. Trepoff, gazed long and earnestly
at the generals face and then took a
photograph from his pocket to COM
pare it with Kozlov's features, as If to
make sure of his identity.
Fired Point Blank.
The man then drew pistol and
fired four shots point blank at Kozlov,
who fell mortally wounded and died
on the spot.
The assassin was arrested. He re-
fused to give his name, although he
openly avowed that he was member
of the social revolutionary organiza-
ton, and the police have not yet been
able to find out his name.
Gen. koZ!ov WAS not involved in
politics. He married granddaughter
of the famous field marshal, Count
Alexander Snyaroff.
Car Again a Pendulum.
There are no developments in the
cabinet situation. The murder of Gen.
kozlov is reported TO have made an
exceedingly bad impression on the en-
peror, and the Novoe Vremya denies
that the cabinet has resigned. The
hesitation at Peterhof has undoubtedly
raised hopes in the minds of some of
Premier Goremykin's colleagues that
he can hold on, even in the face of the
adverse vote in the upper house of par
lament on Saturday.
1t is understood that Admiral Ro-
jestvensky, who was acquitted by
court-martial of the. charge of coward
ice in surrendering to the enemy after
the battle of the Sea of Japan, will be
restored to the active list of the navy
and assigned to a permanent position
on the technical committee of the
navy.
No Baltic Sea Cruise.
London, July 1S.-When questione'
regarding the abandonment of the pro-
posed visit of the British channel fleet
to Cronstadt, Walter Runciman, secre.
ttary to the local government board,
Informed the house of commons yes
terday that the Russian government
had intimated that, in view of the po-
litical situation in Russia. the pres
ence of foreign ships at Cronstadt
might give rise to agitation and Incl
dents relating to internal affairs,
hence the cancellation of the program.
Mr.. Runciman added that the govern
ment regretted that the visit had to
be postponed, and as it was difficult to
rearrange the program it had been de-
cided to give UP altogether the intend.
ed cruise in the Baltic sea.
