It is asserted at S'. Petersburg that foui mutinous warships at Helsingfors arrivec at Kronstadt. Tbo guns of tho fort ross were trained on them, but did no fire.

The utmost alarm and apprehension prevails at St. Petersburg. The cause of tho outbreak at Kronstadt U admittedly entirely political. Two companies of sappers and miners joined the mutineers.

PRECONCERTED MUTINY. oS*fc««Sgß MISGUIDED ZEAL CAUSES A FIASCO. PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT Received 10,59 p m,, August 4, St. Petersburg, August 3. The crew of the oruiser Pamjatszova mutinied near Reval. They killed the captain and four officers. The cruiser Asia at Abo hoisted the red flag and started for Helsingfors. It is now apparent that the outbreak at Sveaborg was preoonoerted, and intended to attract a large number of the troops from Si. Petersburg, and thus facilitate mutiny at Kronstadt and possibly at St Petersburg ; but the misguided zeal of the Finnish Red Guards in damaging the

railway impeded the movement of the Russian troops, hence the oollapse of the revolutionaries’ plans. The only result of their flasoo at Kronstadt will probably be to drive the Government farther in the direction of reaction.
