RED FLAGS SOON HAULED DOWN Fanatical Commander and About 1,500 of His Mutineers Surren- der After Brief Fight. The official dispatches to St. Petersburg announcing the decisive crushing of the great mutiny at Se- | bastopol, and the capture of all the -mutineérs, including' the fanatical commander, Lieutenant Schmidt, has raised a great load from the bearts of Count Witte and his associates in the government. The dispatches show that the re- sistance of the mutineers when they were convinced that the government meant business and could count on "the active support of the troops in the forts was faint-hearted. As the Otchakoff fired only half a dozen shots before hauling down its flag .the damage to the city. of Sebastopol may be far less than had. been ex- pected. The admiralty announces that it has received from General Kaulbars, governor general of Odessa, lowing telegram addressed to him by Vice Admiral Chouknin at Sebastopol dated May 29: “We wished to terminate the affair on November 28. by surrounding: the mutinous division’ with troops and is- suing an ultimatum for unconditional surrender. The mutineers, however, commenced to attack on the night of November 27, seizing the torpedo boat Svirepoi and three vthers which had drawn near the cruiser .Otcha- koftt. “All these vessels hoisted red flags, after which the Otchakoff flew the signal’ that Lieutenant Schmidt was in command of the fleet. “At 3:30 o'clock on the afternoon of November 29, fire was opened by field artillery on the ships in the southern "harbor flying red flags. These flags were immediately lower- ed and Lieutenant Schmidt signaled: ‘I have many captured officers.’ “The Otchakoff then opened fire, to which the north shore battery and the loyal ships, ‘whose breech blocks had been restored, replied. The Svirepoi advanced to the attack, but was met with a strong fire from two cruisers, ahd from the battleship Ros- tislav. The Svirepoi was immediate- ly ‘put out of action, as were also two other torpedo boats, one of which sank... The Otchakoff had fired bare- ly six shots when she hoisted the white flag and the squadron ceased to fire. A conflagration broke out on the Otchakoff, and boats were sent to rescue the survivors and to trans- fer those who had been wounded. Lieutenant Schmidt, who was dress- ed as a common sailor, escaped but was arrested later.” General Kaulbars telegraphed later that he had just received a telegram from Captain Bergel, chief of Admir- al Chouknin’s staff, saying that dur- ing the night about 1,500 mutineers had surrendered, with 19 quickfiring guns, to the Brest regiment and that the barracks were occupied by troops. : General Kaulbars also forwarded an additional dispatch from Admiral Chouknin, saying that the barracks in which the mutineers had defended themselves, had been vccupied by the troops. Genera] Kaulbar's dispatch says that the mutineers who surrendered, together with those captured on the Elchakoff, number 2,000, the majority of them being reservists, who were the mutiny. Reports of the number of dead vary from 5,000 to a much smaller nuniber. Another Football Player Dies. James Foster, 23 N.

The most alarming indication of the spread of disaffection in the Rus- sian army, extending even to regi- ments near the person of the em- peror, was given in the arrest at Tsarkoe-Selo, of a number of soldiers | belonging to the Yellow Cuirassiers | of the guard, the Hussars guard and the Life Guard riflemen for present- ing a series of petitions, ‘including one against the use of {troops for police purposes.
