her to go with young men.

. Mutinied Against Keepers.

prisoners returning here from Japan
are in such a state of mutiny because it
is Lrapossible to immediately ship them

held under guard.
Oo Saturday there was a tragic up
rising at the camp, on Cape Choknin,
where a thousand 'prisoners from Port
Arthur are confined. A drunken sol
dier who refused to salute an officer
was sabred on the spot. His comrades
rushed at the officer, who escaped to
the officers’ club. w r here he was joined
by four other officers. They all made
a hard fight for their lives with revol

before the arrival of a squadron of
Cossacks, which had been hastily sum
moned by telephone, three of the off!
cers were killed and one was terribly
beaten.
About 80 men were killed in the
