MUTINEERS ARE STILL FIGHTING

Those Who Have Deserted Czar's Government Put up Hard Fight in Finland. INFORCEMENTS SENT IN REVOLUTIONISTS ARE DOING ALL IN THEIR POWER TO SPREAD UPRISING IN RUSSIA VI BERG MANIFESTO Publishers Press Helsingfors, Finland, Aug. 1. The fight between the mutineers and loyal troops waged during the most of Tuesday night. The cannonade was heavy, the firing of guns furnishing an awe Inspiring spectacle to thousands lining points of vantage on Observatory hill. The loyal minority seemed to command the forts of Nicholai island, which was engaged In a duel with Sandhamra's formidable masked batteries. Wednesday they were still exchanging broadsides at 10 minute Intervals. The victims transported to Ilelslngfors numbered less than 50, of whom 15 are dead, but thus far the number of killed or wounded In the SYeaborg hospitals Is not ascertainable. Order was restored at Skatudden Island, where l'lO sailors and 11 civilians were disarmed. From the civilian point of view the local situation Is easier. No cruisers are visible. Troops are arriving here, but destruction of the bridge near Rihimaeki railroad station, and tearing up the permanent way at several points delays arrival of reinforcements. The town Is quiet and business is proceeding, but the workmen are on strike. The diet issued an earnest warning to the people to abBtaln from participation In acts which might possibly gravely affect the whole country. Copies of the Viborg manifesto of the outlawed parliament are being distributed among Cossacks, who quietly put them In their pockets. A naval squadron, including the battleship Slava, Is reported to have sailed from Reval for Sveaborg. The telegraph building here was ruined, and the barracks and cathedral badly damaged fly the fire of 11inch guns. The Socialists are on the alert, and the town people are In fear of a cannonade If the naval squadron arrivea. TI,,A . .. I

in tne city. A man sitting on tne veranda of the yacht club was mortally wounded, and a servant girl was killed. For more than a week revolutionists have been working among troops distributing the Viborg and "Group of Toil" manifestos. Sunday 1,500 soldiers took an oath to fight on the side of the people. News of the revolt here caused the greatest excitement at Cronstadt, especially in view of the report that a mutiny of the crews of warships was proceeding at Cronstadt, and that the revolutionists were working hard to persuade the troops there to mutiny and refuse to fire on the warships. Precautions were hastily taken by the authorities at Cronstadt. The broad blocks on board some of the warships were removed, while detachments of troops were sent aboard other ships. The damage to the branch line to Viborg has been repaired and reinforcements of troops are arriving here. It is hoped that the mutiny on the fortress islands will be soon quelled. In response to the call for a general strike only the employes of private factories have gone out. Heavy cannonading is still in progress at Sveaborg, showing that the fight for the possession of the main fortification is in progress. It is impossible from the short to ascertain the exact situation. The only reinforcements which have arrived here are two companies of the Finnish regiment. General Baron Saltza, commander of the Twenty-second army corps, is on his way here from Villmanstrad.

GENERAL ALARM Caused by the Mutiny In Finland. Strikes Are Spreading. St. Petersburg, Aug. 1. The greatest excitement prevails here as a result of the startling news from Sveaborg, and there is the deepest apprehension regarding the situation at Cronstadt, as there is little doubt that the rising of the garrison of the "Gibraltar of the Baltic," was a prefnature attempt to execute a widespread military conspiracy, which involved the seizing of the fortresses of Sveaborg, Cronstadt and Sevastopol as bases for the revolting Black sea and Baltic fleets. Telegraph and telephone communication with Cronstadt are cut off, but no sound of firing has been heard. Although it is learned that a summons to revolt was Issued there the chief point now in doubt is whether the main part of the Baltic fleet, consisting of a battleship and three cruisers, which were hurriedly sent from Reval to Helsingfors after receipt of the news of the mutiny at Sveaborg, has Joined in the rebellion. The squadron is understood to be under the personal command of Grand Duke Alexander Michaelovitch, brother-in-law of Emperor Nicholas. A telegram claiming to-be from the commander of the fortress was received here, but its says: The entire crews of four war ships have mutined." Other dispatches mention the crews of the torpedo boat destroyers and otffer ships on the spot as revolting, while another dispatch says: "Foi a time, with a portion of the crews locked below decks, the loyal members of the crews fired upon the mutineers." If the Reval squadron joined the mutineers there is little hope of regaining possession of Sveaborg fortressy'where it is claimed six companies of loyal troops are holding out oh Commander Island against the mutineers on Michaelevisa, Artillery, Engineer and other Islands composing the group on which the fortress is built. There is no exaggeration In saying that the blow coming thus suddenly from an unexpected quarter has, caused dismay in government circles and the feeling of alarm is increased by the bad news from the interior. The strikes are spreading rapidly. Ilia Awful Fate. Giles According to the coroner's verdict a mob composed entirely of women was responsible for Green's demise. Miles How did it happen?

The municipal presidents charge that the recent outbreak was caused by the action "of Gornor Doveyra in disarming the municipal" police of many towns, thus leaving the homes of the people practically unguarded. A protest against the return to the Philippines of Captain D. J. Baker of the Twenty-sixth infantry, an assist ant director of the Philippine con stabulary, was published by a Filipino newspaper. Captain Baker Is on leave of absence ln the Uuited states. The paper, which successfully defended a libel suit last year in which Captain Baker was plaintiff, attacked Captain taker's military record and declared lie was unKUCCUBSiui m cauiytu&us against ladrones. General Ide received reports that valued at $3,084,183 ln ROM. Com menting on the reports Governor Ide says it appears that the number of pounda of rice Imported into the PhllJ Ippines during the flsc-al year of 1906 was something less than three-sev-enths of the Importations in 1901. If the same ratio of decrease continues a year no more rice will be Imported. and that in two years the islands, be sides supplying tho home demand. ought to Be exporting rice. The publication of the report has rniiopd a rnntmvArav Th lnral hlnpers contend that the decrease of importations is a.6sult of the poverty of the people who, it is alleged, are not buying rice, but are living on yams and other food The shippers declare that the Philippines will never Prt rice. P" fto'nFPPV'q TANKAnn I UWUmtl V I All fMnU, A curious historical relic of London Is the large tankard of solid silver pre sented by Charles II. to Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey for his valuable services during the plague and the fire of London, for which he received the honor of knighthood in 1666. The tankard, which is of plain silver, has a hinged cover and weighs nearly thirty-six ounces. Its front Is engraved with the royal arms and the crest of the reclplent, together with Inscriptions in Latin and engravings of scenes connected with the fire, which are still in excellent preservation. The engraving of 1 the pesthouse men carrying corpses to the dismal plague pit and that of tho I crowded blocks of houses surmounted by flames are very quaint and curious.

One day the French papen announced that King Marie I. of gedang, an island in the vicinity of China, was coming to Paris. As it happened, this self created monarch wai an ex-officer of the French navy, antf his appearance in Paris created considerable sensation. As soon as hit majesty had been duly "advertised'' sets of seven different postage stampi marked "Sedang" and bearing thre4 half moons appeared, and so great wai the demand for them that ln less than a month they realized 1,000 francs each. Not until the king and his ministers had reaped fat fortunes In thli manner was it discovered that, thi whole thing was a hoax and the stampi consequently worthless.
