Red Flag at Masthead.
Ambassador Meyer has received a dis
patch from the American consul at ReVa
saying that the Pamyat AZova entere,

al her masthead. Should this cruiser
under the flag of the mutineeTs. sail L
the nOrthward and appear in the pres
ence of the main squadron in the gulf o
Finland, the loyalty of the crews of thes
vessels would perhaps be put to a strOnge
test than they could stand. Although tn
admiralty asserts that the squadron of
SVeabOrg did not WaVeT in its allegiance
there is something mysterious about tn
reports of the actions of the ships which
warrants the suspicion that all is no
right aboard. Only two ships fired on tn
mutineers. The others remained on tn
horizon as if the admiral was not sur
that they could be depended upon.
Regarded as Pirate
The mutiny on the Pamyat Azova ma,
possibly raise international complications
