FIGHTING CEASES.
\ Hensingfors. Finland. Aug 2.-There
was no firing at Sveaborg or the other
II islands in the vicinity during the night
Il or this morning and no definite news
4 has been received today from the scene
/ OF the mutiny. The officials decline TO
/ make any statements. but II is asserted
II from a reliable source that the mutt
!! neers with the exception OF few on
the smaller islands who have few
Il guns, have surrendered.
The prisoners are being landed in
patches. guarded by loyal troops. They
are sullen and seem TO have little
thought of the punishment which
II awaits them.
\ st Petersburg, Aug 2.-The collapse of
the mutiny at Sveborg. coupled with the
h break down of the plans OF the revolution

4 squadron and provoke an immediate ris-

II The spirits OF the government officials
i have risen and those of the revolutonists
J are correspondingly depressed and the ar
\ rangements for ordering a general strike
I on Saturday may he countermanded. The
strike in Finland is already a failure, ow-

OF the Firms did not support It. as they
realized that by placing themselves al the
q head OF a purely Russian revolutionary
movement they might Justify reprisals
and jeopardize their newly granted lib
\ critics.
The latest reports show that all the
rumors 10 the effect that the Baltic squad
4 ron was in the hands of the mutineers,
were untrue. When the mutineers, who
were led by agitators from the shore and
who believed that tn squadron was COM
ing 10 ther rscue, found that hope In
l that direction was crushed. dssensions
broke out among them and they turned
. their guns upon each other, those who
had determined 20 die rather than sur
render. shooting into the ranks OF their
more faint-hearted comrades. who holsted
the white flag.
