 REPORTED NEAR END

STOCKHOLM. April 2S--Latest re- ports from Finland indicate that the net is closing rapidly on the Red Guards and that the Finnish rebellion is likely to end in few days. Viborg is expected to fall shortly.
 A delegation from the two Swedish socialist parties appealed to Finnish Minister Grippenberg to transmit to General Mannerheim, commander of the Finnish government forces, a pro- test against the treatment of Red Guards by White Guards. Minister Grippenberg refused on the ground that it was an unjustifiable attempt to interfere in the affairs of another government. The Aftonblad of Ham merfors accuses the Red Guards Of atrocities against the White Guards.
