MEN AGAIN INSUBORDINATE.
SEVERE MEASURES TAKEN.
By Telegraph— Association.— Copyright.
(Received December 26, 12.51 a.m.) London, December -5. There have been fresh signs of disaffection at Portsmouth naval bairacks.
An officer, in going the rounds, found the hammocks unpacked, and the first-class petty-officer in charge of the room was disrated. 111-feeling ensued among the few men in the barracks. The trouble is not connected with the recent riots.
While Commander Sinclair was inspecting the canteen, a seaman coughed obtrusively. He was arrested and put in irons, and Commodore Calloway sentenced him to 42 days' imprisonment for incitement to disorder and disrespect; also for his untruthful evidence to 14 days in the cells.
The whole of men were paraded, and warned that discipline would be drastically maintained. One hundred marines were ordered to be in readiness in the event of an outbreak.
Several stokers have been discharged as undesirables.
