St. Petersburg. Aug 2.--St. Peters burg Is anxiously waiting news or the outcome of yesterdays battle between the mutineers and the Government forces at Sveaborg. No definite infnr- nation has been received here owing to the damage done to the land tele- graph wires. The adylces received by the Government ty wireless telegraph have not been divulged.
 The utmost importance is attached to the conduct of the feet According to semi official intimation, the crews of these vessels are still under the con- troi Of their officers. but private ad- vices say that a portion of the crews have been confined below decks for fear of mutiny.
 There was a rumor in circulation here tonight that four of the ships of the Baltic Squadron were in complete, mu- tiny and roaming at large in the gulf of Finland and that the commandant at Cronstadt had been notified to be pre- pared for an attack by these vessels.
 It Is worthy of note that dispatch to an official agency from Helsingfors announcing the arrival of the fleet oh Sveaborg and the fact that 1t opened fire does not mention what it opened against.
 Vice Admiral Ririleff presumably has gone to Helsingfors to assume per- sonal command of the fleet as it now develops that Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovitch, the Emperor's brother. Is not with the fleet as previously re- ported, but at Gatchina with the Em- press Dowager.
 Fear of Cronstadt Uprising.
 The most intense anxiety prevails with regard to & possible uprising at Cronstadt and the general spread of the l revolt through the entire naval estab- ] 0f fMft hu a 0P- respondent of the Associated Press to Cronstadt, however, shows that the | authorities there received timely warn | ing of the events at Sveaborg and | nfpped a possible revolt in the bud. l They had the situation well in hand | Tuesday night and quietly placed de- tachments of infantry at the doors of | the marine barracks and removed the carbfnes from the racks in the build l ings.
 Yesterday morning the 1,500 sailors composing the seventh eduipage quar- tered at Cronstadt. whose loyalty had 1 been disrrusted, found themselves pris- oners The correspondent saw them l looking out of the windows of their
 barracks and unable to communicate ! with the outside. The streets of Cron-
 stadt ale swarnning with troops of the
 loyal guard regiments and the newly I arrived men of the twenty-fourth di- ! vision who serve to overawe the dis | acected clements.
 The commandant at Cronstadt order | ed the confscation of newspapers from l St. Petersburg in order to prevent the
 news of the outbreak from reaching the islanders This measure was fairly suc- | cessful.
 l A group of agitators who went over | to Cronstadt in the same boat with I the correspondent of the Associated l Press attempted to hold meetings and | communicate news of the Sveaborg happenings. They were dispersed. how l ever, and lied before the leveled rifles | of the soldiers. AS the correspondent
 was crossing from Cronstadt to Ora
 nienbaum he saw the imperial yacht | Pole Star lying with steam up at the l pier below the imperial residence at | Peterhof.

 Helsinxfors, Aug, i.--Fighting still continues and is witnessed by tfn- mense crowds on Observatory hill. The loyal minority semed to command the forts on Nicholai Island. which was engaged in duel with Shndhanlfn'H forrnidabie naAkeds batteries. At ten o'clock this morning they were still exchanging broadsides at ten minute intervals The victims transported to Helsingfors numbered less than fifty of which fifteen are dead. but thus far the number killed or wounded In the Sveaborg hospitals has not been as- |certainable.
 Order has been restored at, skatudden island. where no sailors and eleven civilians have been diarmed.
 From the civilian point of view the local situation is easier. No cruisers are visible. Troops are expected here but the destruction of the bridge near Rihima Eki railroad station and the tearing up of the permanent way at several points delays the arrivel of re- Inducements.
 The town is quiet and business Is proceeding, but the workm'e are on strike. The diet at sitting late last night, issued an earnest warning to the population to abstain from participa- tion in acts, which might possibly gravely affect the whole country.
 The revolt it Is pointed out. occur red on the anniversary of a mining disaster, which was caused by the recklessness of some officers and re- suited in the loss of dozen lives.
 Copies of the Viborg manifesto of the outiawed parliament are being distributed among the cossacks, who quietly put them in their pAkets.
 A naval squadron. including the battieship Slava, is reported to have sailed from Reval this afternoon for 5veaborg.
 The telegraph building here has been ruined and the barracks and cathedral have been badly damaged by fire of the 11-inch guns. The numbers of wounded and killed have probably been over estimated.
 The socialists are on the alert ana the town people are in fear of can nonade in tho naval squadron arrives here.
 There was a panic all day long yes terday among the summer residents on the islands of the Archipelago ow- ing to the fall of stray shells and bull let's which caused number of casual ties, both on the islands and in the city. A man sitting on the veranda of the yacht club was mortally wound ed and a servant girl was killed.
 For more than a week Russian revolutionists have been working among the troops, distributing the viborg and group Of toll manifestos. and 1t Is reported that on Sunday l.500 soldiers look an oath to light on the side of the people.
