peared off Alderman, "a miles south
west of Odessa.
On July 3 a torpedo boat entered the
harbor of Alderman and demanded
coal and provisions. The authorities
refused to furnish them, whereupon
the torpedo boat fired two shots. The
torpedo boat afterward obtained all
the supplies she required.

MuTINEERs' sHREWD MOVE
Proclamation of Revolt Issued to Quiet
Foreign Powers.
St. Petersburg. July 6.-While no Of
fetal confirmation Is obtainable. the
Associated Press has been informed by
an authority usually reliable that the
has received news that the
Kniaz Potemkine. after shipping coal.
provisions and medicine, is again at
large in the Black Sea and that her
is unknown. Whether the
report of the sailing of the battleship
be true or not, the crew took remark
able step yesterday, when, with all the
of a provisional government.
II issued manifesto addressed to the
powers. announcing that civil war had
been begun against the existing regime
in Russia and pledging the inviolability
Of foreign shipping and foreign ports.
This action doubtless was taken to
quiet the apprehension Of foreign pow
ers and to leave no excuse for the
sending of warships through the Dar-
danelles to effect the capture of the
battleship. which until now Russia's
Black Sea fleet has not dared to at
tempt. II Is considered shrewd move
on the part of the mutineers and
stamps the commander OF the crew as
a leader far above the class of the or
dinary sailor. and strengthens the
opinion that he Is not a member of the
original crew, but one OF the revolu-
tionaries who went on board at Odessa
The issuance of the manifesto lends
a certain dignity to the mutiny and
proves that the crew and their COM
mander have no desire that the world
should believe them to be mere out
laws. but that they should be looked
upon as men seriously raising the
standard of revolution.

he whole matter will be taken up by
President Roosevelt on Monday. See.
