VLADIVosTOK REVOLT
REPORT OF SERIOUS UPRISING
OUTBREAK IN cAUcAsIA.

That there has been renewal of the mu-
tiny at vladivostok was confirmed by dis
patch from that city filed Thursday and re-
ceived at ST Petersburg last night. This
dispatch indicates that the mutiny which
began last Monday had not been subdued
and that the situation was far more serious
than during the outbreak In November, as
the mutineers include both sailors and ar
ti1lerists, who are In possession OF the
''Holy Innocence" battery, and are well
armed with rifles and machine guns, as
well as having heavy fortress guns
Gen. Mistchenko, who has been sent to
deal with the mutineers the dispatch adds
has no easy task, as the Cossacks given
him are i'll suited for capturing fortified
position. 1t declares that the promises OF
immediate transportation home for the
men with which the government ended the
former revolt are now scarcely effective
The telegram, which bears evidences of
having been carefully edited, says nothing
about the numbers of the mutineers nor OF
the attitude of the garrison as a whole.
The hasty dispatch of the nearest available
troops indicates that Gen. I,inevitch is dis
trustful
The number of casualties in a fight on
Tuesday, when column of sailors, in ad-
vancing on the commandant's houses, was
scattered by machine guns Is not stated In
the dispatch and there is no mention in it
of excuses or the destruction of property.
A report that Gen. Selivanoff the COM
mander of the army corps at Vladivostok,
had been wounded is confirmed.
The war department officials are unable
to give particulars of the seriousness of the
mutiny, which is due to the reserve men,
who are thoroughly undisciplined and are
claInoring for their immediate transporta-
ton home, though the government has
given them precedence over the Trans
Siberian railroad, in addition to chartering
q he la hln of Fort MIR

Caucasia. The mountaineers around Eka-
terinodar have risen and are making fire.

sacks has been sent to restore order.
Advices from Ekaterinoslav, South Rus
STA, say that the inhabitants OF everal

pressive measures since January %. Many
of the persons arrested have been released,
