With all her canvas set, the square-rigged man-of-war Portsmouth, Captain Edward McClure Peters, sailed away frora Sandy Hook to her anchorage off Grant's Tomb in the Hudson River this afternoon, nav igating the treacherous lower bay and threading her course through the trafiic swarmed upper bay and harbor without mishap. Neither pilot nor tug boat as sisted the old-time craft in her proud progress. The Portsmouth's) feat has not been duplicated since 1S77, and the sight of a square-rigged ship making use of a six knot breeze where ordinarily only steam craft navigate thrilled harbormen so much that the ship received a constant salute from fog horns and sirens all the way. The Portsmouth was returning to port with a contingent of the New ' Jersey naval reserve, and Captain Peters wanted to show all hands what a smart crew he had aboard.

FLEET CRUSHED THEM Bombardment Drove Commander From One Refuge to Another Till Ships and Hunger Forced Submission. . HELSINGFORS. Finland. Aug. S- The correspondent of the Associated Press was permitted today to look over the fortress on the main island, as well as all the other fortifications overlooking the town, although the officials who com plied with his request were careful not to allow him to see the guna. The Bcene REACTIONARIES IN THE EMPIRE proved the truth of the statements pre viously cabled, that the mutineers had the upper hand in practically all the forts until the arrival of the warships. Escorted by an officer, the correspondent was shown all the minor barracks and fortifications and the wharf and neigh boring quays, which bristled with ma chine guns. Flagstaffs had been splin tered as if the mutineers had tried to shoot away the Russian colors. The most severe fire from the fortress was directed on the headquarters of the commander, who on the second day of the battle was forced to seek shelter in a better protected place. Barracks Tottering Ruins. The barracks in the vicinity showed plainly the effects of the fighting. They are today nothing more than tottering ruins, upheld by iron girders. The church in which hangs the memorials of the French and English bombardment of 1865 was struck several times, but it is evi dent that the mutineers did not wish to destroy the building, In spite of the fact that none of its windows remain whole. Results of the fighting were seen on either hand, fragments of shrapnel, shot and shell literally strewing the walk ways. The fortress itself bore many fig nil of the bombardment, great rents In the walls, holes in the roof and de stroyed windows telling their own tales. The correfipondent was not permitted to examine In detail the fortifications held by the rebels, as these form part of the national defense and are secret. Powerless Without Fleet. There is no question that until the warships came up, the Government was powerless adequately to reply to the mu tineers and was simply able J.a hold its positions. The commander had scarcely fled from his headquarters, leaving them in a heap of fallen ruins, when the war ships crept up the coast and opened fire. Taken unawares, without leaders and with but little food, the mutineers gave up. ' It now transpires that there were two officers among the mutineers. Lieutenant Kakhensy and Lieutenant Emiljanoff. The latter was wounded. Kokhensy gave him self up to the Bogatyr and asks pardon. Court to Try Mutineers. A special court is coming here from St. Petersburg next week to try the pris oners. One hundred men are confined in Helslngfors and Skatudden. The casual ties are not yet known, but 650 men are missing. It is Impossible to say how many were wounded. As previously cabled in these dispatches, only five of ficers were killed. , RED GUARD DESPERATE. Tries to Force Strike In Finland. Casualties at Sveaborg. HELSINGFORS, Aug 3. Sveaborg fort ress is completely in the hands of the gov ernment this morning. The prisoners have been marched out and sent to Ska tudden Island, where they will await trial. The Socialistic Red Guard yesterday evening made a last effort to bring about a general strike. They marched in force to the powerhouse of the street railway and ordered the men to strike. Upon their refusal the guards attempted to de stroy the buildings. Police and com munal guards were summoned and a fight followed, resulting in the killing of an Assistant Chief of Police and several Communal Guards and a number of the Red Guard. Cossacks were summoned and separated the combatants. The Red Guard consists of the greater part of the Finnish proletariat, while the Communal Guards are made up of the moderate and wealthy classes and are organized to maintain order and protect property. They are armed with rifles and are under almost military discipline. The government is handling the situa tion carefully, fearing that the move ment may spread throughout the country. The Cossacks are used only in extreme cases, and then they disperse crowds with more gentleness than they do ln-Rua-sla. The casualties at Sveaborg were many, but 500 is undoubtedly an exaggerated number. The offlcers's wives showed un tiring devotion as nurses. The wounded mutineers suffered considerably, as they were ill provided with medical supplies. A messenger who came from Svea borg fortress during the day said that the casualties would be shown to num ber many more than 500, expressing the opinion that the totals would run into thousands. The garrison consist ed of 6000 men. The leader of the Bed Guard, Cap tain Koch, has been arrested. A num ber of workmen are on strike, and the streetcars are not running, but there have been no disturbances today. GENERAL STRIKE IS ORDERED Begins In Capital, Will Gradually Cover Whole Empire. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 3. A general strike has been formally ordered to begin in St. Petersburg tomorrow at noon, and as a preliminary the men employed in a dozen establishments in the Vassili Ostrov and Viborsky quarters, in the Moscow quarter, beyond the Narva Gate, went out at noon today. The whole region where the Putlloff Iron works are situated is occupied by troops, especially Cossacks and Dra goons. Part of the employes of the Putlloff works are on strike and the workmen of the American Westing bouse factory walked out during the day. The failure of the strike is predict ed, since the workmen are not all pre pared. The plan is to begin the strike here to morrow, and at Moscow on Monday, and gradually to extend it through the Empire until everything, including the railroada and telegraph is at complete standstill. The police this morning arrested half a dozen members of the Workmen's Coun cil, who were elected to direct the general strike, and they also captured several members of the military committee. The signal to strike has been forwarded to TO different proletariat organizations throughout the Empire. GUARD REGIMENT MAY REVOLT Makes Demands on Officers, and Cossacks Visit Barracks. ST.

STOIiYPEV'S PLANS REJECTED Heyden and Associates Not in Cabi net Troops Swarm Everywhere. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 3. The re port that Emperor Nicholas bad flatly refused to accept the conditions to which Premier Stolypin agreed in his negotia tions with Count Heyden, Alexander Guchkoff, Prince Nicholas Lvoft, Paul Vlnogradoff and Senator Koni for the re organization of the Cabinet, was officially confirmed by the following announce ment: "The reports that the non-bureaucratic elements will enter the Cabinet are un true." Count Heyden and his confreres have now washed their hands of the govern ment. The - Count himself has already left St. Petersburg for his estate in the country. The Guard Regiments, which were sent back to their camp at Krasnoye-Selo at the end of last week are again returning to the capital. They have been marching all night. The patrols in the streets have again been reinforced, all the public buildings are heavily occupied by troops and the number of domiciliary visits and arrests has been redoubled. The authorities act as if they were dazed and did not know what to expect next. The searchlights of a cruiser sta tioned in the lower reaches of the Neva and similar lights, on the roof of the Baltic Works were played last night on the river as If St. Petersburg was be sieged by a forergn foe. The Been, has been confiscated, and even such a high-toned paper as the Ravitstvaie (Quality) and Professor Kov alevsky's Ekstrana have been suppressed. Only the Novoe Vremya and the Svet, of the unofficial papers, seem to be immune from seizure. Last night's incendiary fires did not spread, giving relief to those who feared the whole city might be set on fire. LASHES NEW ST. ANTHONY Art Students' League Says His At tack Is Outrageous. NEW YORK, Aug. 3. A statement re garding the raid of Anthony Comstock, head of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, upon the Art Students' League, Thursday, and the arrest of the young woman bookkeeper on the charge of deal ing in obscene literature in circulating the league's Fall catalogue, containing pic tures in the nude, was given out by the league tonight and says In part: "That a school of this character should be subject to the sensational attacks of Mr. Comstock is outrageous and the league had not the slightest intimation that its publication could be considered objectionable until Mr. Comstock's sud den arrest of an entirely innocent and un protected girl employe. "Concerning the pamphlets, copies of them were transmitted through the mails with the full knowledge and consent of the postal authorities. This attack is not on the league alone, but on all artists, and it is needless to say that the league will push the fight vigorously." More Lithographers Strike. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 3.

PETERSBURG, Aug. 1 The ac counts received hero of the mutiny on the armored cruiser Pamyat Azova on August 1 show that the sailors expect ed to obtain the support of the garrison of the fortress at Reval. - A student agi tator, probably one of the emissaries sent from St. Petersburg, was stowed away on board. When the crew mutinied after midnight Wednesday the cruiser was an chored 20 miles down the coast. Evidently her commander. Captain Soslnsky, had been warned, for he arrested, and sent ashore a sailor named Tarosoff, who was regarded as the ringleader. Two hours afterward the sailors rose and killed Captain Saborovsky, the officer on watch. When he saw the mutineers approaching, Saborovsky made a rush for the carbine rack, but the sailors had Jammed the breech blocks of the carbines and Captain Saborovsky was shot. The firing aroused the officers below, who ran up on deck and, taking In the situation, crowded into a launch moored alongside the Pamyat Azova and started for the shore. The mutineers manned a cutter and put off in pursuit of the launch. Three officers were killed by a shell from the cruiser and others were wounded. Officers Escape to Shore. The mutineers in the cutter were rap idly overhauling the launch when, on reaching shallow water, the surviving of ficers jumped Into the bay and made for the shore. An attempt was made by the fugitive officers to drag along with them one of their wounded comrades, but he was eventually abandoned and drowned. Eight officers escaped into the woods. Later the mutineers hove up the anchor and headed the cruiser for Reval. Her consort, a torpedoboat, followed under fire from the Pamyat Azova, but was not hit, as she succeeded in keeping out of range.
