MUTINY IX ARMY EVERYWHERE. CZAR PROFOUNDLY GRIEVED AMD IMPRESSED. St. Petersburg, July 2. Princes Trubetzkoi and Oblenski and five other princes in the Proebrugensky Regiment have forfeited their positions as the Czar's aides-de-camp. They become officers in an infantry regiment. Nothing that has happened in Russia hitherto has so profoundly grieved and impressed the Czar as the Proebragensky mutiny. Baron Stackeberg, a subaltern in a sapper battalion, has been dismissed for deolaring that he would not obey if ordered to dismiss the Douma. An infantry regiment which was sent against mutinous Cossacks at Orenburg agreed with the latter not to use arms. QUESTION OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. VIOLENT SCENES IN THE DOUMA. THE SITTING SULPENDED.
