MUTINOUS SAILORS.
THE RECENT OUTBREAK AT LISBON.
Received August 13, 8.35 a.m. LISBON, August 12
The seamen of the Dom Carlos I. aud other ships of the Portuguese navy awaiting trial at Lisbon for mutiny belonged to the Bluok Cross Society—a secret organisation supposed to be revolutionary, and with ramifications very widespread amongst the men of the fleet. (The mutiny affeoted the crews of the cruisers Dom Carlos 1., Vasco da Game, the gunboat Tego, and other vessels. It was alleged that undue severity on the part of the admiral in command, and thf» refusal of shore l«ave, caused the mutiny, in which there were contradictory reports as to a lieutenant being billed. Order was restored in a couple of days, the warships being anchored under the guns of the forts at the mouth of the Tagus, and fourteen hundred sailors confined in barracks).
