MUTINEERS REACH THE MOUNTAINS. BUSINESS AT A STANDSTILL. THE ONLY SOLUTION, PLACATING THE MILITARY PARrY. Received Nov, 1, 10.25 p.m. London, October 31. It is believed in Athene that Lieut. Typaldos and the other fugitives have reached the mountains and may elude pursuit, owing to their local popularity. Business at Athens is almost at a standstill. Many believe that the only solution will be for tile King trt invite the Military League to form a Cabinet. The King hitherto has refused direct relations with the League.

THE CAUSE OK THE FAILURE. PREVENTING MUTINEERS FROM REJOININfi THEIR SHIPS. THE MUTINEERS REPULSED. Received Nov. 1, 10.35 p.m. Athens, October 31. The action of the authorities in preventing twenty of Lieut. Typaldos' confederates rejoining their ships largely accounted for the failure of the revolt. The mutineers in the destroyers on Friday night attempted to escape to .Salamis Bay. The lovoi fleet repulsed them. The officers then landed.
