St. Petersburg, June 19.-DetaiIs of the mutiny of the Sappers at Kiev show that 1t was suppressed only after . bloody engagement at midnight June IT, between the mutineers and local troops in which about seventy men were killed or wounded.
 kiev is one of the cities where. rey- olutionary Ideas have made the great est inroads on the army and the revo- iutionary military organization is very powerful, counting among it's members dozens or officers. The mutiny was planned to coincide with a general po- 1 litical strike as a reply to the dissolu- ton or parliament involving the rail- | roads. telegraphs and mails. In sev- erai or the Southern provinces arrange ments for the strike had been going on for months under the leadership of an experienced organizer M. Loskot1 who was member of the first parliament The decision Of the revolutionary stan at St Petersberg to refrain from dem- onstrations was disobeyed by the hot headed sappers. At midnight of June IT, 500 men left their beds, hurrfedly dressed and obtained possession of their rines, broke into the armory and secur- CT some loaded cartridges and then marched to the camp square and fired a volley in the air.
 The officer on duty. Captain Akuioff, came out and addressed the mutineers. advising them to disperse. He then called out another battalion drew the men up and led e charge on the mutt neers, ordering them to surrender. On their refusal to do so, Captain Akuloff ordered the troops to fire and fell dead himself at the first volley.
 The fighting continued for several minutes. Half a dozen others were kill ed and about sixty were wounded. Finally, the mutineers, with no offl- 1 cers. no leader and no plans wayered and fled. Two hundred and fifty were captured but 193 eluded pursuit and hid In the city.
 The mutiny ot Kiev was arranged by Shefiencho, a revolutionist of good family. who entered the army as voi- unteer for the purpose of undermining comrades. but when he raised the stan dard of revolt they were frightened and the little band of ring leaders was overpowered.
 Bombs Found.
 Three bombs were found in Shefien- cho's tent. He will be tried by court marshal. The workmep employed in big factory at Kiev struck after mutiny. but they have not yet been en- joined by the employees of other factor ies. General Sukhomlinoff, the command CT of Kiev, Is taking the moderate en- ergetic measures to arrest the leaders of the movement. Hundreds of houses have been searched and ninety three citizens have been arrested. among them being officials of the rail- ways and telegraph service and the editors of a newspaper. Numerous other arrests were made in Kiev and number of bombs were found. but or- der is now restored.
 Under Martial Law.
 The city is In the hands of the mili- tia. The Novoe Vremya in an article this morning to the mutiny at Kiev. attributes the sedition on the muttny at Kiev, attributes the army corruption first to the corruption of soldiers in the Japanese prisons; and second to the Jews in the army. and third to the attitude shown by the military author ities. It claims. however. that the propaganda has made but slight prog ress. Trouble has also broken out am- ong the troops of the third infantry di- vision. stationed at Kaluga. General Orloff who suppressed the instruction the baltic provinces left St. Petersburg hurriedly last night to take charge of the garrison at Kaluga. Information is unavailable as to the nature of the troubles. as strict censorship on all inc coming press dispatches have been instituted since the dissolution Of parliament. The dispatches of the A. P. from Kiev detailing the mutiny there were turned over to the censor and held up from twelve to fourteen hours before they were delivered.

Several big meetings of workmen in the Moscow suburbs have been broken up.
