BITTER REVOLUTIONARIES.
WANT TO SEND CZAR TO MINES. "(Received 2.10 p.m.) ', PETROGRAD, Juno 14. Details of the ultimatum issued by the crew of the Dreadnought Gangoot, that unless the ex-Czar and Czarina were, sent to Kronstadt they would sail for Petrograd, show that the crews of the warships Kepublica, (Jangoot, and Diana sent a notive to the Provisional Government that the ex-Czar must lie given to the revolutionaries in order to be sentenced. The Government took no notice, with the result that the crew of the Gangasi-, who are attached to the Kronstadt Soldiers' Council, emphatically repeated the demand, threatening force if it were digregarded. The Government then stated that it could not accede to the Gangoot's exaggerated desires. Simultaneously the Petrojjrad Soldiers' Council expressed a desire that the Czar should be condemned to forced labour in the mines. The Government consequently caused the garrison at Tsarskoe'Selo to be strengthened.— (Reuter.)
