Abortive Mutiny By Naval Vessels

CALM NOW RULES IN ALL PARTS OF COUNTRY

Lisbon, Sept. 8.

As a result of a mutiny aboard warhships in Lisbon's harbour, a "state of precaution" has been formally proclaimed.

Troops are confined to barracks and strategic points have been occupied by the police, who are guarding the Ministries and public buildings.

Six were killed and nine wounded during the fighting during the morning, when warships and fortresses exchanged shell-fire..

An official communique states that the mutiny has been completely suppressed and all the mutineers im- prisoned.

It adds that the mutiny is condemned by the Navy and by the whole country, and absolute calm now reigns-Reuter Bulletin Service.

It is noteworthy that several naval vessels in the vicinity of the rebel- ous ships, including three sub- marines, did not participate in thei metion.

The British steamer Strathinore! put to sex on the opening of the action, to escape possible dunate by shellfire.
