SOLDIERS MU1INY
At YLADIVOSIOK'
Serious Uprising Of Russian
Troops at Far Eastern 81
Port.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 27.-That there
has been renewal of the mutiny at
Vladivostok was confirmed by a dis
patch from that city filed Thursday and
received here late last night.
This dispatch indicates that the mu
tiny, which began last Monday, had not
been subdued and that the situation was
far more serious thar during the out
break in November, as the mutineers in
clude both sailors and artillerists, who
are in possession of the Holy limo
Icence'' battery and are well armed with
rifles, machine guns and heavy fortress
guns.
n General Mistchenko, who has been,
fsent to deal with the mutineers, the dis
{ Gossacks given him are i'll suited for
capturing fortified position.
"a. It declares that the promises of imme-
date transportation home for the men,
with which the government ended the
| former revolt, are now scarcely effect
/ i've.
The telegram, which bears evidence
| of having been carefully edited, says
| nothing about the numbers of the mutt
neers nor of the attitude of the garri
son as a whole. The hasty dispatch Of
that General Linevitch is distrustful.
| The number Of casualties in fight on
Tuesday, when column of sailors IN
advancing on the commandment Is house
was scattered by machine guns, is not
stated in the dispatch, and there is no
mention in it Of the excuses or the de-
struction Of property.
| A report that General Selivanoff, the
| commander Of the army corps at Vladi-
vostok, had been wounded is confirmed.
+ The war department officials are I'M

ness of the mutiny, which is due to the
reserve men, who are thoroly undisci-
| plined and are clamorihg for their i'm
mediate transportation home, tho the
| government has given them precedence
| over the trans Siberian railroad, in ad-
dition to chartering all the available
steamers for this purpose. = s~
Gomel Is in Flames.
A dispatch from Gomel says that
half the town is in flames and that
fighting is going on in the center of the
town between the troops and revolu-
the peasantry of the surrounding dis
tricts. The disorder extends to five
counties around Gomel. The pcasantry,
as In the Baltic provinces, have de-
posed the old authorities and elected
revolutionists to fill their places.
/ Reds Stay in Hospital. =.
LODI, Russian Poland, JAN 27.-Three
unidentified persons today gained ac-
cess to the hospital and killed with
