The sailors and a regiment of troops at Sebastopol have mutinled, and Rear-Admiral Pesarevakiwasahot willcharanguing the men. The dockers joined the mutineers and serious rioting occurred.
BEBASTOPOL MUTINY.
The most serious feature of the Sebasto- pol mutiny, in the wholesale disaffection" of the troops, who have apparently made com. man cause with the mutineers; only one regi ment remains loyal.
No excesses have hitherto taken place. The absence of any official communiqué for measures of suppression is regarded as confirming the rumour that the warships are in the hands of the mutineers and that the revolt was carefully prepared and deliberate ly carried out.
