STOCKHOLM. Aug. 4. (Special.) Au
thentic advices received here from Hel
slngfors contain Information that the Fin
nish revolutionary organization has Is
sued orders to its members In all fort
resses to mutiny Tuesday, August 14. The
order still stands. Whether the outbreaks
In Sveabors, Skatudden and Cronstadt
were premature responses to this decree
does not appeas.
With the warning furnished by the re
volts of the past four days, the rebels,
should they attempt an uprising on the
Hth, will find the government prepared
to counteract the movement. The crews of
the Baltic squadron have promised tne
revolutionists ashore . their assistance.

purpose of attending revolutionary meet

It has been ascertained that the Tenesei
Regiment played the most prominent part
at Cronstadt In quelling the mutiny of the

General Trepoff and Grand Duke Vladimir, who were in conference with the
Czar before he dispersed the Douma, are the leaders of the reactionaries In Russia
who oppose constitutional government. Because of bis tyrannical acts Trepoff ,for
years has been the most hated man in the empire. Be has been the Governor
General of Moscow and St. Petersburg, for a time was Assistant Minister of the
Interior, and later has been In charge of the palace guards. Several attempts have
been made on his life, and once be was fired at by the first woman terrorist In
the empire. Vera Zassalltch. Trepoff was educated in the military college, and Is
alleged to have made a good record In the Turkish war. He Is 64 years old.
'The name is said to be a compound of two German words treppe (stairs) and
hoff (court), because TrepofTa father had been found soon after his birth on the
staircase of a St. Petersburg palace. One of his characteristic orders, recently
given, was: "The military are directed to fire ball cartridges if the crowd offers
resistance. No blank cartridges will be used."
Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovltch was one of the men who provoked the
war with Japan. He Is an uncle of the Czar, being the eldest brother of the
late Emperor, and until' the birth of the little Czarovits two years ago was heir
presumptive to the throne. An attempt recently was made on his life while he

PROUD OF HIS SMART CREW
Captain of Portsmouth Sails Ship Up
Crowded Hudson.
NEW YORK. Aug. 3. (Special.) 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.
ADRIFT ON GULF IN STORM

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 3. News that
two men are adrift in the Gulf of Mex

agents of the ocean-going tug R. Wil

adrift in a storm, which broke the towing
line between the Wilmot and four scows.
The tug was then 60 miles from Mobile,
which port she left last Monday.
When the seas broke the towing line,
those on board the tug were forced to
watch their comrades drift away, fran
tically signalling, but helpless, before the
storm.
The tug's agents said tonight that the
men have provision aboard sufficient for
about two weeks.

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. PETERSBURG, Aug. ' 3. It is cir
cumstantially asserted that there is open
dissatisfaction among the Moscow Regi
ment of the Guards quartered in St. Pe
tersburg. The demands formulated by
the men are both economic and political.
Cossacks have been sent to the barracks
of this regiment, .
STOIiYPEV'S PLANS REJECTED
Heyden and Associates Not in Cabi

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.

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."

ANOTHER FUTIUE MUTINY.
HELSINGFORS. Aug. 3. (11:17
p. M.) An Incipient mutiny broke
out today on board the Busslan
cruiser Bogatyr. It was Immediately
put down with the arrest of 200 sail
ors on board.
ST. 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.
On arriving at Reval, some of the mu
tineers put off in a boat for the fortress,
in order to request the artillerymen to
join them, but the authorities had In the
meantime been apprised of what had hap
pened and the mutineers were arrested as
they landed.
Sadden Change of Front.
This being seen from tho cruiser, the
main portion of the crew, who in the
meantime seemed to have suddenly be
come neutral, turned on the mutineers,
overpowered them, replaced the red flas
at the masthead with a white flag and
sent word ashore that the mutineers were
confined below deck3, whereupon the Governor-General
sent off soldiers in boats
and the mutineers were taken ashore.
About 150 sailors were arrested, but a
number of students found among the crew
were also made prisoners.

Court Says Charges Against Judge
Kincaide Are False.
TOLEDO. O., Aug. 3 Judge Babcock,
in Common Pleas Court today, handed
down his decision in the Ice cases, sus
taining Judge Kinkade in every particu
lar and exonerating him of having madl
any promise or suggestion of leniency as
claimed by the attorneys for the Ice
Trust Were it not for the fact that
the ice men's attorneys succeeded In
getting into the Circuit Court on error,
the defendants would at once have to
go to the workhouse. Technically, their
cases are yet pending in the upper court,
although Judge Babcock's decision re
moves the case entirely from the Circuit
Court. The court, however, is adjourned
until the middle of September, and sen
tences are suspended until the court
meets and decides Its has nothing further
to do with the cases.
Should the attorneys for the icemen ap
peal from Judge Babcock to the Circuit
Court which they are likely to do. that
court will either send the cases back for
rehearing in Common Pleas Court or by
declaring there is no error cut off the
last hope of the Icemen to escape impris
onment. Suit Over Ownership of Horse.
