It is difficult to ascertain the number of casualties, but officers place the figures lit jno. Many wounded persons are in ho-pitals.

This city was 111 a turore ot cxciicnicnt all 01 'Thursday and late into the tiiht over the news of the mutiny at Croiistadt.

The place was represented as being in the hands of 8,000 sailors, who had murdered their officers, seized the arse nal and bombarded the Imperial palace at Peterbof, across the bay. Butchery was said to have prevailed in the streets all during tile? day and the rumors even went to the extent of saying that Father John of Croiistadt had left the bed on which he was supposed lo be dying to lead the mutineers. Many of these sensational reports were, of course, false, but sufficient details have been received to prove that about ,1,000 sailors and a hutallion of artiller ists from one of the ioiis engaged in a mutiny, which was only put down by about 7,000 Cossacks and troops of the Imperial Guard hastily dispatched from St. Petersburg and from the garrison near Peterbof, and that machine guns had to be employed.

The West Virginia's Speed Was Cut Down By Atlantic Storm. Washington, (Special). The armored cruiser Wc-l Virginia, flagship of Ad- I iniral Biownson's squadron, made the run Irom Niutli l ass, at the moutli ot ihe Mississippi River, to Cape Henry, Virginia, when she brought President Roosevelt home from his Southern trip, at an average speed of 17.92 knots an hour. But for the storm encountered ol"; ihe Carolina coast ihc average would have been better. The big cruiser was hcing driven through the Gulf Stream at a speed of :8 lenots when the wind registered 52 utiles at Cape Hatleras, and it became necessary to slow down. It was demon strated to President Roosevelt that while the West Virginia was plowing through '.he grrat waves kicked up by the gale it would have been possible to have fought the broadside and stern guns. An officer who was aboard said that by slowing down to a knot speed Ihe bow ;;inls could have been fought as well. CONFESSES TO LAND FRAUDS. Attorney Lambert Makea a af It. Omaha, Neb., (Special).- Clean Breast At last the behind the I government attorneys are scenes in the great Western land grabs, and have secured a confession from one who was deep in the schemes whereby millions of acres of public lands have been stolen. The coming session of the federal grand jury bids fair to return hundreds of indictments against cattle men and old soldiers who committed per jury in carrying out the schemes of the Attorr.cy Frank E. Lambert, who was brought bade from Oregon last week c:n a charge of subordination of perjury, in connection with (he land frauds, has made a clean breast of the scheme, ac knowledging that he acted as go-between for the cattlemen and old soldiers, and has agreed lo go before the grand jury and tell all he knows. According to the story told by Lambert he i'fted as agent for the cattle kings for the purpose of securing soldiers' homesteads and entries. He avers that he did a wholeialc business and received $-0 for each filing that he procured. The soldiers took the lands with the understanding that they were to be re linquished to the caltlemen, thereby per juring themselves. Many thousands of acres were relinquished in this way. The soldiers implicated are scattered over Nebraska and Iowa, with a few in Illinois. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri and other central states and quite a few are. in government homes for soldiers in the different states. The federal grand jury convenes next week and much of its time will be devoted to Lambert's dis closure. IN THE HELD OF LABOR.
