mutiny there was ended at midnight.
Six Of the mutineers have already been
condemned and shot. A silence like
that of the grave prevails in the streets
of the city.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 9-Despite the
exciting events of the last few days in
various parts of the empire, which have
given the people plenty to talk about,
st. Petersburg today was ominously
quiet. Three fires were in progress at
one time, but they created little stir.
Just what is the significance of the un-
wonied quietness is not apparent.
The government is greatly alarmed
because of the occurrences which have
threatened to precipitate revolt from
one end of the country to the other, and
the authorities are relaping into the
most oppressive methods of reaction.
The difficulties of the liberal reform
ers likewise have increased thousand
fold. They believe that the precipitancy
of the reyolutiOnsries in starting the
mutinies at Syeaborg and Kronstsdt has
seriously imperilled the cause of Russian
freedom. The outbreak was hopeless
from the beginning, they assert, as the
reyolutionaries lacked a clearly con-
ceived plan, co.ordinated action, and a
capable leader.
st. Petersburg. Aug. S-Trouble has
broken out at Reval. 1t is impossible
at this time to obtain details in regard
to the outbreak.
Revolutionary leaders in st. Peters
burg last night, after the collapse OF the
mutinies at Sveaborg and Kronstadt had
become known, made the statement:
"Watch Revel, Riga and Libau. Watch
our brothers in the Baltic forts" In
view of this statement the news of dis
orders at Reval today may prove very
significant.
Warsaw, Poland, Aug. 3. II a. H.
The artillerymen in the summer camp at
Rembertoff have mutinied. Infantry aud
COssacks have been dispatched to quell
the mutiny.
London, Aug. IA dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from st.
Petersburg says that General Linevitch,
who was the commander in chief of the
Russian armies in Manchuria during the
recent war with Japan, will be made
commander in chief of the army at home,
with the idea of restoring discipline in
the army at any cost.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 3. All the sta
tions along the Finnish railroad from
st. Petersburg .to Viborg as well as the
entire length of the coast are occupied
by troops.
A dispatch at HelsingfOrs timed 4:45
a. m. states that the mutiny at Syeaborg
has been completely quelIed.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 9.-The early
quietness which prevailed throughout
the city changed this afternoon. Great
crowds of workmen collected and pro-
cessions were formed, the men marching
through the streets from one factory to
another in the endeavor to induce the
great mass OF workmen to strike. The
great majority of the mills and factories
were visited in this quest.
Whether or not the strike sgitators
will be able to bring about general
strike remains to be seen. The govern
ment has taken extraordinary precautions
to prevent riOting in view of the change
which has taken place in the attitude
OF the workmen. Police patrols are
stationed 10 the streets, aud the troops
which have been kept in the capital
ever since they were rushed here ct the
time the ukase dissoving the douma
was issued, are held in readiness for any
emergency. The soldiers are being kept
in the background as much as possible
that their presence may not incite the
populace to acts of violence, but they
are distributed in such a way as 10
make it possible for them to protect the
city at all danger points. Fears are
entertained lest there shall be some out
break leading to blo0dshed.
st. Petersburg, Aug. $40 add to
the seriousness of the situation which
already was iraught with great danger,
it is probable that fresh cabinet crisis
will be precipitated by the action of the
Czlr is haily refusing to agree to the
condition upon which Premier Stolypin
had succeeded in inducing men not con-
nected with the bureaucracy to enter his
reorganized cabinet. Official announce
ment of the Cars determination was
made today in a statement issued which
said "The reports that non-bureau-
cratic elements will enter the cabinet
are untrue" AS SlOIypin has based his
hopes of carrying out his policy of "high
handed reform" on organizing such
cabinet, the refusal of the Gar to agree
to his plan places him in a position
where it is believed he wi resign. There
is renewed talk of the probability of the
appointment of dictator, and Grand
DUKE Nicholas is mentioned as the most
likely individual to be selected for such
position. The recent mutinies have
greatly alarmed the Gar aud his bureau
cratic advisers. Fresh trooPs are being
brought into the city to strengthen the
force already on guard. The alarm of
the Gar is one of the things which has
renewed the talk OF a probable dictator
ship.
London, Aug. ga dispatch to a
news agency from Revsl in describing the
mutiny which occurred yesterday on
board the Russian cruiser Pamyat Azova
says the outbreak on the part OF the
sailors began when student, disguised as
4 sailor, arrived on TIE warship. An
attempt was made to arrest the student,
but some of the sailors prevented this,
