MUTINY ON BRITISH TANKER
FASCIST MILITIA SUPPRESS OUTBREAK. United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright (Received August 28. 11.45 p.m.) ROME. August 28. The mutiny of the Chinese crew, numbering twenty-six on the British tanker Kaliotis at Naples, was only controlled, when the Fascist militia, with drawn revolvers, boarded the vessel and locked the mutineers in two cabins. The trouble arose when the captain rebuked the helmsman for negligence as the ship was about to sail. The helmsman closed with the master, biting him severely on the hands before being driven off by other British officers. The helmsman called to the other Chinese. They rushed the bridge
armed with knives and other weapons. The officers defended themselves till the militia arrived. One Chinese has been sent to hospital.
