Odessa Without Firing Shot.
A dispatch from Odessa, under Fri

gun or making the slightest show Of
| resistance, the mutineers on the
Kniaz Potemkine hauled down tne
RED flag and surrendered the battle
ship to Vice Admiral Kruger's squad

n anxious moment for Odessa, as

seven torpedo boats, with their crews
at quarters and their decks cleared

thought of resistance was abandoned.
Admiral Kruger ordered the Ekater-

The mutineers will; be transferred
to the Ekaterina II, which is now
lying alongside the Kniaz Potemkine,
and will be taken to Sebastopol.

A dispatch to The London Daily

The dispatch says: ....,

Mob's Action Condemned.

The people OF Watkinsville stand
in dumb horror at the mob's action.
and on all sides expressions of con-
demnation are heard, especially rel
garding three Of the negroes, who
were charged with offenses less than
the capital crime. Not man in the
mob was recognized as they all wore
masks, and it is believed very firmly
that all were from other counties.
So quietly was the whole affair car
ried out that very few people Of Wat
kinsville knew anything about it un-
til it was all over, and the few that
did know about it were powerless to
prevent it.
Sheriff overly, who had been out
in the country Thursday afternoon.
and who did not come from his home
to the Jail during the night, did not
know Of the occurrence until day.
light.
The immediate cause Of the lynch
ing was undoubtedly the attempt by
Sandy Price (colored), to assault Mrs.
Weldon Dooley Tuesday afternoon, at
her home in the suburbs Of Watkins
vile. There was some little doubt as
to the negro's intention, but many
believed that when he went into the
home of Mrs. Dooley he was bent on
+hok 1>;ol ~ rpicchiof
He was shot at by several OF the
crowd that captured him, but was
not hit. He was then brought to Jail
and lodged in safe keeping.
Then the trouble began to brew.
The people OF the other nearby coun-
ties evidently took the matter up,
for Thursday afternoon A. N. Bost-
wick of Morgan county rode fourteen
miles to give notice Of the danger Of
lynching occurring. He arrived at
Watkinsville at 5 o'clock in the after
noon, and went to the store Of J.
B. Poulnott. He did not go to the
sheriff's house, for that official was on
his farm, and the ordinary, Judge Cal.
vim Johnson, was in Atlanta. So
many rumors Of this kind had reached
Watkinsville that little attention was
paid to his warning.

REBELLION ON IN RUSSIA.
More Marines in Mutiny and Deadly
Shells Continue to Reign Upon
Flaming Town of Odessa

Dispatches from Odessa, under date
Of Thursday stated that the mutineers
of the battleship Kniaz Potemkine still
held the ship. A great fire is de-
stroying the shipping in the harbor,
and the buildings along the shore and
in the streets a continuous rattle Of
small arms is heard. The military
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 de-
clared in the city. The confagration
is sweeping along the harbor, the sail
ors and strikers refusing to permit at
tempts to extinguish the flames. Three
unisured ships of the Pan-Russian
company have been destroyed.
A st. Petersburg special says: The
emperor has issued the following
ukase addressed to the ruling senate:
I'm order to guarantee public safety
and to terminate the disorders at
Odessa and neighboring localities, we
have found it necessary to declare
state Of war in Odessa and district
and to invest the commander of the
troops Of the military district OF
Odessa with. the rights Of military
authority and special rights Of civil
administration for the defense OF or.
der and public tranquility
The crew Of government transport
which arrived during the day from
Nicolief, mutinied, seized the officers
and Joined the crew Of the Kniaz Po-
temkine, to whom they turned over
the captain and other officers of the
transport. It is reported that the for
eign consuls have applied to their
respective governments to send war
ships to Odessa.
It is reported that the volunteer
cruiser Saratoff bas been burned at
Odessa. Admiral Kruger's squadron
is expected to arrive at Odessa every
hour. His orders are to summon the
Kniaz Potemkine to surrender, and
upon her refusal to sink her, after
which he is to assist in restoring or
der in the town.
The Russion government, although
it has been almost paralyzed by the
terrible events at Odessa and the news
that the sailors at Libau also have mu-
tinted, is making desperate and even
frantic efforts to meet the situation,
and to stamp the flames Of revolution
before they can spread to the army,
which is now the last bulwark of ths
autocracy.
With Poland red with the spirit OF
revolt, the Caucasus already almost
In a state of civil war, the whole
country profoundly stirred and the in

against the government, all conditions
seem ripe for the long-predicted revo-
luton.

that the ruling was bitter disap-

urged the Attorney General to re.

reconsideration to the views which
he advances in regard to the mat

the Washington dispatches that
there is no question but that the
