RUSSIAN UNREST.

THE VLADIVOSTOCK MUTINY. HOW IT WAS SUBDUED. Received November 3, 4.30 p.m. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 2. Additional paiticulars in connection with the Vladivostock mutiny show that it was confined exclusively to the sailors composing the torpedo detachment ashore and the crews of four destroyers in the harbour. The crew of the destroyer Skory murdered their commander, but the other destroyers, seeing the vigorous action of the shore batteries, landed the ringleaders and returning to duty, helped to subdue the mutinous ones. (A cablegram a few days ago stated that the crew of the Russian destroyer Skory, incited by agitators, mutinied, and hoisted the red flag off Vladivostock. The destroyer then steamed into the bay and opened fire upon the town and the troops ashore. Thereupon a gunboat and three destroyers fired in reply, and the 12th Artillery Regiment also turned its guns on the Skory, which was riddled with shells and beached. The agitators aboard were killed, and the mutineers were arrested. During the engagement Captain Kurasch, o* the destroyer Revy, was killed, and Lieutenant Vassotuff, of the Skory, was seriously wounded. Lieutenant Stoer, commander of the Skory, was killed. Some civilians were also killed).
