SAILORS REFUSED SHORE LEAVE.
ADMIRAL THREATENS BOM-
BARDMENT
[PEESS ASSOCIATION.] LONDON, April 14
The "Daily Mail" Lisbon correspondent states that, owing to lack ol discipline, the sailors of the flagship Don Carlos were refused shore leave. They tried to throw a lieutenant overboard and were prevented. They insisted that he should be landed^ Admiral Souya boarded her, arid, under threat of the bombardment from Lisbon or the sinking of the ship, he promised the men that the officers should be changed. The mutineers only consented to-land after the Lord of the Admiralty had promised''that they should not bo arrested. A similar but smaller mutiny occurred on the warship Tejo. The officers now say that their prestige is gone.
