Vladivostok.-A fierce naval bat
tie occurred in this harbor between
the mutinous crew of a Russian de-
stroyer and their loyal comrades.
The mutineers finally we're subdued.
but not before a number of men had
been killed or wounded.

and she gave fight to the gunboat
Mandchur. the d%estroyers Grozovoi.
Smelly and Serdity and the garrison
of one Of the harbor forts, manned
by the Twelfth Regiment of Artil-
lery. The Skory soon was over
whelmed and had to be beached to
save her from sinking. This was
not accomplished, however, before
guns had done considerable damage,
and several officers and men OF the
other ships had been killed or
wounded.
The crew Of the Skory were in
cited by a%gitators, including some
Jews, who had managed to get on
board and take charge Of the de-
stroyer. She steamed out into the
harbor with the red flag flying, and
at once opened fire on the town and
forts. A gunboat and three destroy
ers went out to engage her. and with
the aid of the forts soon had the
Skory riddled and helpless. She then
turned, ran through the surf and
was beached. Those of the crew who
had not been killed or wounded by
gunire were arrested by soldiers as
they made their way to land.
Among the men killed are Captain
Kurosch, commander of the torpedo
boat Ravy, and Lieutenant Stoer,
commander of the Skory; Lieutenant
Vassilief, commanding the Serdity,
was wounded. Several persons in
V%ladivostok were killed by the shells
from the Skory.
The town has been declared in a
state of siege.

slight had taken his departure. but re-
turned when followed and invited
anew. This time he came to supper
superbly dressed in crimson velvet and

Amusement that he poured the soup
down his sleeves, tucked outlets into
his breast and smeared his rich attire
with sauces.
