RIOTS IN RUSSIA.
BREAD SHOPS SACKED. MANY RIOTERS KILLED AND WOUNDED. [press association.] (Received December 7, 7.47 a.m.) ST. PETERSBURG, 6th Dec. Many bread riots have occurred in Russia. At several places the soldiers helped to sack the shops. Numerous rioters were killed and wounded. THE SEVASTOPOL DISTURBANCE. WARSHIPS' BOATS SEIZED. ADMIRALS' SIGNALS DISREGARDED. LONDON, 6th December. The Times Russian correspondents state that' eight thousand sailors, marines, and firemen participated in the Sevastopol mutiny, which arose from the refusal to allow some of the crew of the battleship Georgi Pobiedonostzeff to go ashore. The men seized the boats of the rest of the squadron. The Admirals' signals to peremptorily suppress the insubordination were disregarded, and the troops at first refused to shoot at the sailors in the streets, even when threatened with severe punishment. Some of the mutineers used firearms.
