the Gibraltar of the North" has
been received in st. Petersburg up to
this hour. The secondary uprising

yesterday afternoon by loyal troops
after heavy fighting in which nine
cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats
took part.
The sound Of firing on the islands
and from the fortresses has ceased and
in spite of the fact that the occupation
of the entire water front by Cossacks
prevents obtaining positive news, it is
announced at Helsingfors that the
mutinous artillery men and sappers
still are holding their positions. The
outlying islands and the fortress APP
pear to be in their possession and they
have perhaps all the machine guns,
quickfrers and movable artillery of
the fortress.

the fortress, is holding onto the main
fort on Commander island with force
of loyal infantry The last dispatch

morning from Maj. Gen. Lamong an
nouncing that the fo-tr, sses and artil-
lery had opened FIRE upon Commander
island. The insurgents seized all the
machine.guns and took possession of
one of the islands.
Almost the entire fortress is in the

we're comparatively few loyal troops in

Helsingfors. Aug. According to
the latest news received, Sveabore is
entirely in the hands Of the mutineers.
who now have possession Of every kind
of armament. Horrible scenes oc-
CURED last night, when the fierce
fighting was continued. The heaviest
artillery was used during the conflict.
Helsingfors, Aug. Ia gigantic
military conspiracy, aiming at the
simultaneous capture Of Russia's three
great fortresses, Sveaborg, Cronstadt
and Sevastopol, arranged by the revo-
lutionary military league, was prema-
turely sprung here Monday night by
an attempt to arrest members of q
company of sappers who had mutinied
on account of the death Of one of their
comrades, alleged to have been due to
ill-treatment.
The entire garrison Of sthee fortress
at Sveaborg famed out instantly in re-
volt. All the artillerymen and sappers
garrisoning the place were involved.
Only four companies of infantrymen
remained loyal. The mutineers seized
forty machine guns and nearly all the
quick frers and light artillery in the
fortress, but even with this aid they
were unable to hold the main forts
against the loyal infantry.
The fight continued all night long.
The heaviest firing was heard from 10
p. m. until q. m. Yesterday morn
ing detachment of civilian revolu
tionaries entered the marine barracks
on Skatuden island, hoisted the red
flag and were joined by the marines.
War Vessels Take Part.
Mine cruisers, torpedo boats and de-
stroyers lying in the harbor opened
fire on the barracks. This fire was an
swered from the third story windows
of the barracks with machine guns
and rifles. The torpedo boats and de-
stroyers, which were lying closer to
the shore, were subjected to such a
hot fire from the barracks that their
crews were driven below decks. They
finally steamed out and joined in the
bonn bardment by the cruisers.
This sea attack was in cooperation
with the attacks by Cossacks and in
fantry from the land side, which be-
gan'at O'Clock in the morning and
continued through the whole day. Fl.
nally toward evening the firing ceased
and the authorities announced that
the barracks had been recaptured.
The exact situation at Sveaborg is
not known. Rumors are in circula-
ton that the entire fortress has now
fallen into the hands of the insurgents,
but they Lack confirmation. It IL be-
lieved that this cessation of fighting
is only prelude to the renewal Of the
battle between the mutineers and the
government troops.
Casualty List Heavy.
| An authoritative estimate Of the
killed and wounded cannot be obtain
ed, but the casualty list on both sidesa
must be heavy, for the fighting was
waged with desperation.
| Various rumors are heard regarding
the fate Of the officers who we're at
Sveaborg and Skatuden barracks. Ac-
lcordings TO- ono 4rumor almost all of the
officers. and according to another, al
most all the junior officers, sided with
the mutineers
The marines at Skatuden are said to
have convened an elective courtmar-
tial which condemned several officers
to immediate execution.

SiammoncO drew a revolver and fired
at CarodOne, who fell with bullet
near the heart. The assailant then
fled, pursued by Tocco A block or two
away Tocco caught up with Shannon
