RIOTERS SHOT DOWN.

Odessa, June 29.-Hundreds of riot CTS were shot and many killed by troops during last nights outbreak. Martial law has been proclaimed. Fires were still burning at midnight, but there was Hull in the disorders at that time.
 Speaking about yesterdays mutiny on battleship, the following parficu- lars are given:
 A special dispatch says that the mu. tiny occurred on account of the sum. mary shooting of sailor by order of the commander of the battleship. The sailor, it is stated, presented petition signed by the crew demanding better food.
 A special cable from Odessa says that all the shipping in the harbor is in flames and that the mutinous crew on the battleship Kniaz Potemkine fired shell into the town, killing four Cos sacks and wounding seventeen.
 The red flag of revolution is hoisted at the masthead of the Kniaz Potem-i kline. Russia's most powerful battleship in the Black sea. which now lies in the harbor In the hands of mutineers.
 The captain and most of the 0fncers were murdered and thrown overheard in the open sea. and the ship is com pletely in the possession of the crew and few officers who have thrown In their lot with the mutineers.
 The guns of the Kniaz Potemkine command the city, and in the streets masses of striking workmen who ned before the volleys of the troops are now infamed by the spectacle of open revolt on board an imperial warship and are making a bold front against the military.
 All day long firing has been heard in many quarters of the city. A number of barricades have been erected. and tumult and disorder reign.
 Late last night, perceiving picket of Cossacks stationed at the Richelieu monument. the Potemkine fired a shell, killing four and wounding twen- ty of them.
 1t is rumored that the men of four other battleships have mutinied at Se- vastopol and that two of the ships are on the way to join the Potemkine.
 Late last night huge mob broke through the military cordon round the town and footed two large customs warehouses.
 The Potemkine has moved closer to the breakwater. with her guns still trained on the city.
 The whole of the quays and the buildings around the harbor as well as much shipping are in flames. Mobs of incendiaries by armed force pre- vented the fire brigade working. The troops are completely terrorized and are afraid to approach within range of the kniaz Potemkine's guns, which threaten a disastrous bombardment The city is appaIlingly illuminated by burning buildings. and terror prevails everywhere.
 It Is thought that 1t may become nee essary to summon foreign warships for 1 the protection of the foreign colonies. 1 The fighting has resulted in the loss of seventeen lives. including three po- Iicemen.
 During the day one of the torpedo | boats which accompanied the Kniaz l Potenkine came into the harbor and | seized the Russian steamer Esperanza. The stesmer was laden with 2.0OO tons of coal, which the battleship has taken I en board.
 The governor has telegraphed for a squadron to be sent from Sevastopol.
 Ever since the war started ugly re- ports about the crews of the Black sea 6eet have been current Men have been shot and even officers court mar | tialed for disobedience. and at Sevas- topol twelve sailors were condemned to three years' Imprisonment for mutiny.
 No better evidence of the spirit of the crews Is needed than an ofaciaI an- nouncement made by the admiralty that Admiral Nebogatoff and the other o1leers who surrendered in the sea of Japan would have to stand trial by eourt martial upon their return Prac- s1eaIly all of the crews Of the vessels w1icA ssrendered came from the Dlack ssa-
