bold front against the military. 4. I...z
All day long firing has been heard in
many quarters Of the city. A number
OF barbados have been erected and
tummult and disorder reign. @.sE =
Reports of the mutiny,x which oc-
Cured while the battleship was at SEA-,
are difficult to obtain, as the mutineers
refuse to allow communication: with

THE whole of the quays and the

the Odessa correspondent, timed 1910
o'clock Thursday night:
Using full charges, the Kniaz Po-
temkine opened fire on the city this
evening. The first shell struck q house
in NyesjinsAaya street and the second
fell on a brewery. In the walls OF
both buildings large holes six yards
wide by three yards high were torn.
So far there has been no more firing.
''The governor ordered the gas
lamps extinguished and the electric
currents severed SO that the city is in
total darkness
.Aarge bodies of troops have arrived.
It is reported that there are altogether
10000 troops in Odessa.
r ''This% afternoon a tugboat, which ar.
rived with a commission to investigate
the condition of affairs proceeded, iy-
ing the Red Cross flag, to the opposite
side of the bay and reported. Two
warships are lying at the harbor end
of one Of the main streets, opposite
Little Fontaine." 49,
A transport with Russians from Port
Arthur and q Russian steamer were
held up by the Kniaz Potemkine at i
o'clock and compelled to lie up under
her guns for two hours ~.
-" An International Phase.
Should the report that the Kniaz Po-
temkine is bombarding Odessa be con.
firmed, the incident probab bly, will pre-.
cipitate a critical international stu.
alton, and. the foreign consuls there
will almost certainly demand the pro.
lection of warships, if they have not
already done so; and as the treaty. OF
Paris bars any but Russian or Turkish
men-of-war from entering the Black
Sea, the Dardanelles question might as
q result be revived in q novel and un-
expected shape. ~:.s- r.
In the opinion of the London morn.
ing 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 bluejackets, and is full OF
menace for the future piece Of the
Russian empire. =:
Up to this morning no further dis.
patchesifrom Odessa have reached Lon.
Ion, and it is evident that strict cen.
sorship is being enforced.
The Black sea fleet consists of nine
battleships. three cruisers and eight
smaller vessels. There are also sew.
