EMEUTE AT THE POST OFFICE. [BPKOII.Ii.] (Received July 9, noon.) London, Bth July. Mr. E. Stanhope, Secretary of State for War, is very evasive on the subject of the reported mutiny of the Grenadiers. (Receded July 9, 12.15 p.m.) London, Bth July. The postmen will not strike provided blacklegs are not employed. The Trades and Labour Council will in the meantime negotiate with Mr. Cecil Raikea, and endeavour to persuade him to reoognise the right of the men to hold meetings. The Council will also ask that the men who have been dismissed be reinstated, that the rate of wages be fixed, and that the men be allowed to form a Dnion. It is asserted that the Grenadiers mistook the hour for parade, and that it was not their intention to mutiny.
