Early Sunday moruing a company of sappers, dissatisfied with their marti- oet commander, mutinled and persuad- ed a second company to Join them, They left the fortress fully armed and by threats compelied the remainder of the sappers’ battalion to join them. Numbering a thousand, the mutineers marched to the barracks of the One Hundred and Twenty fifth Kursk in- fantry, which, however, remained loyal A body of Cossacks allowed the rebels to pass them iu the street. Finally the mutineers arrived at the barracks of the artillery division nod the Azoff In- fantry regiment. The Azoff men an- swared their appeal with insults, and the rebels opened fire upon them. The Axoffs answered with three volleys. A portion of the mutineers fled, but the others continued firing. The Asoffs re- plied with deadly volleys, and finally the rebels fled headlong, throwing dewn their arms. Two hundred of them surrendered and were conveyed to their barracks by Cossacks. Fifty dead snd a bundred wounded mutineers were left on the ground. A court martial has been convened and a notiee Issued that any further attempt at mutiny will be quelled by artillery.

STRENUOUS TEAMS SCORE A TIE. Why Reesevelt Favors Football Now Easy to Understand—Cheers From Great Assembly Testified te His Popularity. PRINCETON, N. J. Dec. 4—Presi- dent Roosevelt, the secretary of state, the secretary of war, the secretary of the Davy, the cadet corps from Annap- olis and West Point and about 20,000 boncombatants saw the annual foot ball game between the army and the navy here. The president sat half of the time on the navy side while the oavy was being beaten and the other half on the arwy side while the sol. diers were losing their advantage. Thus the chief executive displayed entire fpartiality between the two arms of the service. Moreover, the gnine It- self, one of the most spiritedly fought f all the contests ever seen between these traditional rivals, resulted In a 6 to 6 tie, the navy managing at the eleventh hour to stave off imminent defeat with a touchdown and a goal to match those secured by the army iu the first half. There was the greatest possible in- terest in the coming of the presidént from Washington to see the match, especially In view of the vigorous In- terest he has shown In the matter of football legislation. There were a good many persons present who felt that, so far as Mr. Roosevelt's influence could reach, the game was more or less on trial at Princeton. It is pleasant to be able to say that the presideut saw a sinart, able exhibition of the great American undergraduate game, stren nously played, as indeed are all foot ball games worthy the name, but free from any talut of foul play or personal mancor Aa for the president himself, well, the match was one long series of outbursts of enthusiasm thet emphasized his per- sonal popularity. With the president were Mra. Roosevelt, Secretary of State Elihu Root, Secretary of War Taft, As- sistant Secretary of the Navy Newher ry, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, fresh from a strenuous football season himself as an end on the Harvard freshman team, and Ker mit Roosevelt. The entire party were entertained at the home of President Woodrow ‘Wil son of Princeton university It wasu't hard to understand why the president defends foothall after the game hegan He wan as excited as the smallest youngster on the fleld and when Hill, for the navy, dropped back for a place kick he almost popped out of his box watching the course of the ball “Well, it was a good try, anyway,” he sald to Secretary Noot, and the seo retary sadly shook his head aud sald he reckoned It was As for the game itrelf, it must be sald that it was quite the moss des- perately fought match fo which these rivals have ever participated. It was nip and tuck from the start There is little difference between the streagth of the two teams. The army hud na bit the better of the argument In the first half of the match, while the navy turned the tables In the sec. ond Lalf. What might Lave happened in those four minutes that the dark uess cut off from the tail end of the second half no roan can say But In the first half the play was three quarters of the time in the navy's territory, while the army defensive wost of the the In the sec ond half There was a strong south wind blow log all the afternoon that Lad quite na much to do with the fortunes of the game as the breeze that blew over the swa of Japan had to do with the battle between Togo apd Rojestvensky In the first half the army got the weather gauge on their rivals, aud the wind added fifteen yands or so to the leugth of overy army punt. In the sec ond half Hownrd had the Lreeze at his back, und It was just as good to him #s it had been to the opposition kicker before. It would be too much to say that the wind was responsible for the two touchdowns, but undoubtedly it helped The army's touchdown was the re sult of fifty yards straight line plung ing and bucking by the army backs, alded now and then by the powerful Weeks, who fell back from his guard's position to carry the ball.
