St. Petersburg, June 21. — Serious mutiny, which threatened to place the fortress of Sevastopol in the hands of mutineers, was suppressed yesterday. The mutiny was started by a battalion of artillery, who re fused to obey orders. The men were promptly dis armed. Two other battalions then mutinied and took possession of the guns of the north short batteries. On the appearance of several loyal regiments of infantry, the mutineers returned to their barracks. Entire Army Shaky. That the morale of the entire army is shaken by the revolutionary propagaganda is proven by continual rebellious outbreaks among the troops. It appears to be confirmed that the Botschoff regiment at Ryazan has driven out the officers and burned the armory. Another report says that the soldiers cleliberately at tacked the officers’ club, killing one and wounding two officers. Panic prevails in the town. Four companies of the Viberg regiment at Sevastopol presented demands, which were granted. The tenderness with which the military authorities treat the recurring exhibitions of a mutinous spirit among the troops is sufficient evidence that they fear that the entire army is infected.
