of the mutineers concern the service
conditions, including the release of .the
reservists who have served their time.
an increase in pay, increase in rood
and t fie removal of the alleged incom

determination to proclaim martial law,
nothings definite was arrived at by the
eounx-il ministers, but it is reported the
council has agreed as to the justice of
many of the demands made by the mu
tineers and will recommend to the em
peror that immediate steps be taken
to ameliorate the condition of the sail
ors.
The latest disnatches from Sebastonol
say the mutineers forced the officers and
crew of the cruiser Otchakoff to Jeave
the ship. The crews of the battleships
Kostislav and Tria Sviatalia, so far as
known, have not mutinied. Martial law!
has been declared in the fortress.
