QUESTION UP
IN NEW FORM
Powers May Send War
Vessels Into the
Black Sea.

LONDON, June 3o.-Should the report
that the Kniaz Potemkine is bombarding
Odessa be confirmed the incident probably
will precipitate a critical international
situation and the foreign Consuls there
will almost certainly demand the protec-
tion. of warships. If they have not already
done so; and. as the treaty Of Paris bars
any but Russian or Turkish man-of-wars
from entering the Black Sea. the Darda-
nelles question might as result be re-
vived, in a novel and unexpected shape.
In the opinion of the London morning
papers the situation could hardly be more
serious. The outbreak Of mutiny at
Libau appears to have been the result Of
concerted action on the part of the blue
jackets and is full of menace for the
future peace of the Russian empire.
Up to this morning no further dis
patches from Odessa have reached Lon
don and it is evident that strict censor
ship Is being enforced.
The Black Sea fleet consists Of nine
battleships, three cruisers and eight
smaller vessels. There are also several
volunteer cruisers and auxiliary war
ships In the Black Sea.

contempt and freely announce their in

In the course of the night.
Cossacks guard all approaches to tho

AS showing the strong military hold
over the city, many councillors were
prevented by troops from reaching the
town hall to attend a meeting of the
Municipal Council.
1t is quite impossible as yet to OBJ
tain any accurate estimate of the mum
ber of killed or wounded It Is re-
ported that when the Kniaz Potem-
kine's crew sent message to the city
commandant to-day announcing their
intention to bury their comrade with
military honors they threatened that
if any interference should be attempt
ed they would lombard the city.

Heavy Property Loss
as a Result of the
Rioting.

ST. PETERSBURG. June 80. a. m.-
Late dispatches from Libau say that
property losses there are considerable
and that all the workmen have gone out
in sympathy with the action of the blue
Jackets. Private reports are said to have
been received, according to which aftil-
lery was employed against the mutineers,
but this has not been confirmed, nor Is
there at hand any statement giving the
number killed or wounded Four lake
submarine boats are moored at quays in
the harbor, but a dispatch from Siman
Lake says they are under guard and are
yet undamaged.
The mutiny at Libau following on the
heels Of the events at Odessa gave rise
to the impression that 1t might be the
result of general plot Of the sailors. but
no connection between these occurrences
has been established. Up to midnight the
blue jackets at Kronstadt had made no
move which would indicate their connec-
tion with the plot

THE mutineers of the battleship Kniaz
Potemkine still hold the ship. Rear Ad-
n1iral Kruger's squadron has not arrived
here. A great fire is destroying the ship
ping in the harbor and the buildings along
the shore and in the streets continuous
battle of small arms is heard. The mill
tary everywhere are shooting into the
crowds, which are panic-stricken and
madly rushing hither and thither for
shelter. The number of victims is large.
"A state of siege has been declared In
the city. The conf1agration is sweeping
along the harbor front, the sailors and
strikers refusing to permit attempts to
extinguish the flames Three uninsured
ships of the Pam Russian Company have
been destroyed. The offices of the port
administration, the stores of the Pan
Russian and Russian companies and
many private establishments and a great
number OF wood yards have been burned
and the fire is now consuming long lines
OF railroad cars containing cargoes un-
loaded from foreign ships. Many ships

MObS IN LODI
Martial Law Restores
Order in the Polish
City.

LODI, June 2s.-Lodz to-day is
quieter than it has been for months
past. The continuance of martial law
makes life and property safer than
since the strikes began in January and
insures excellent prospects for the re-
sumption of work in practically every
factory in the city.
To-day was a holiday. The people
promenaded the streets and attended
church as usual on such occasions and
thousands of workingmen and their
families picnicked in the nearby
woods.
Mill owners are looking forward to
at least several weeks of steady work,
giving them chance to fill orders
which have piled up owing to the
strike.
Martial law has permitted, the au-
thorities to announce such measures as
will make the resumption of disorders
practically impossible The streets are
deserted after o'clock at night and
the theaters, concert halls and wine
shops are closed. Otherwise the life
of the city is proceeding normally. and,
with the exception of numerous patrols
of Cossacks and infantrymen In the
streets and military attachments sta
toned at the biggest factories. there
is no sign of the terrorizing days of
the past week.
Those days were indeed fearful,
marked as they We're by the killing of
many innocent persons and great bru-
tality on the part Of the troops. The
estimates of 800 or 400 persons killed
and 1000 wounded would appear to be
justified, though it is impossible to
give anything like the accurate figures.
1T is believed that, even without mar
tial law, the people would remain quiet
as they have had severe enough les
son at the hands OF the troops.
AS a result of the Strikes since Jam
uary the workmen have gained an In
crease in wages averaging 20 per cent
and now they apparently have decided
to work quietly for the present.

officers and joined the crew Of the bat

turned over the captain and other officers
of the transport.
1t is rumored that the foreign consuls
have applied to their respective Govern
ments to send warships to Odessa.
Hundreds of rioters were killed by
troops during last night. Martial law has
been proclaimed. Fires were still burn
ing at midnight, but there was lull in
the disorders at that time.
Practically the entire harbor was laid
in ruins by the fires started by the mob
last night. All of the warehouses, with
large quantities of merchandise, as well
as four or five Russian steamships,
were burned.
A number of Cossacks were killed by
the rioters. The troops are rapidly re-
storing order.
The losses by fire are estimated at many
millions of roubles. The remnants Of the
wharyes and warehouses set on fire last
night were still bur ling to-day and the
city was enYeloped in a. thick cloud Of
smoke.
Several explosions occurred in the port
during the night and fierce conflicts took
place between the troops and rioters.
The hospitals are pverfowing with
wounded persons and the. medical aid
available is quite inadequate. The shops
are closed and business and traffic il
