D MORI TAKE CHARGE New Premier's Plans Not Liked By Czar. DICTATORSHIP LIKELY Emperor Believed (o be About to Appoint Grand Duke Nicholas. REVALIS SCENE OF TROUBLE Cru uter Asia Hoists the Red Flag Sveaborg and Cronstadt Under Control Mutineers PUced Under Arrest EMPEROR REFUSES TO AP- PROVE STOLYPIN'S PLANS ST. PETERSBURG, August 3 (2:43 A. M.)-On the beel of other bad news comes the start- O ling statement that the Emperor has flatly refuted to accept the conditions to which Premier O Stolypin agreed in his negotia- tions with the candidates for a reorganized cabinet. There is in- creasing apprehension that the O Emperor purposes to take a final step, by turning the country over to the military dictatorship of Grand Duke Nicholas. The streets here are again filled with patrols. ST. PETERSBURG, August 2. The crew of the cruiser Asia, which was sent to Abo has hoisted the red flag. The Asia has left in the direction of Sveaborg. REVAL, August 3. The cruiser Pum vat Azova has arrived in the Roadstead here in possession of the loyal portion of the crew, who gained the upper hand over the mutineers. One hundred and fifty mutineers were sent ashore and im prisoned. . , ST. PETERSBURG. August 3 (1:13 A. M.) Although the mutinies at Svea borg have been ended and the one at Cronstadt practically put down, the out look is still black. The revolutionists, whose hands were suddenly forced by the premature rising at Sveaborg, ap parently are undaunted at these initial reverses and intend to persist in their program of calling a general strike Sat urday or Monday. One of the leaders of the revolution ists, with whom the Associated Press correspondent spoke last night boasted that the word had gone forth, and that the fire of revolt would spread to all corners of the empire. His closing words were: "Now watch Reval. Riga anl Libau." Mutiny May Spread in Fleet The news of the mutiny of the cruiser Pamyat Azaova off the Ethonian coast is fraught with enormous possibilities. The crew rose and killed the command er and four officers. Ambassador Meyer has received a dispatch from the Ameri can consul at Reval that the Pamyat Azaova entered that port this afternoon with the red flag at the masthead. Should this cruiser under the flag of the mutineers sail to the northward and appear in the presence of the main squadron in the gulf of Finland, the loyalty of the crews of these vessels would perhaps be put to a stronger test than they could stand. Although the admiralty asserts the squadron off Sveaborg did not waver In allegiance, there is something myster ious about the reports of the action of the ship, which warrants the suspicion that all is not right on board. Only two ships fired on the mutineer. The others of the fleet remained on the horizon as if the admiral was not sure they could be depended upon. Germany May Take Hand. The mutiny on the Pamyat Azaova; may possibly raise international com plications a in the eye of the law, this cruiser, like the Kniaz Potemkine in the Black Sea in the summer of 1905. Is a pirate. There is reason to believe the German fleet hat orders covering just such a contingency as this, and that it would not besitaate to put an end to the renegade cruiser a a danger to com merce. When the firing began at Cronstadt Wednesday night there was a wild panic in the imperial palace at PeterhonT where the palace lies under the guns of the fortress. All preparations were made in ad vance to flee to Tsarskoe-Selo, but the report that the emperor and family had actually fled during the night is de nied. It was explained however that on account of the dampness at Teterhoff arrangements have been made to re turn the imperial family to Tsarkoe Sclo. About 2000 niutinious sailors were ar rested in their barracks at Cron-tadt and surrounded by the troops. HELSIXGFORS. August 3 (1:34 A. M.)
