LONDON. July NO clear view is as yet
oltainable as to the actual situation at
Odessa for tire past twenty-four hours.
Direct dispatches ha We been few, and they
are hopelessly contradictory. heavy
censorship has been imposed on all tele-
grams but it is most cratic in it's operation.
It is still impossible to verify the report
that the crew of another battleship has
m,tiried or to state definitely what action
Admiral Kruger has taken.
The 'atest despatch from Odessa says
the tatt'eships Kniaz Potemkin Tavrit-
chesky end the Georgi Pobiedonostseff were
still anchored in the roads this afternoon
and that the crew of the latter had evidently
oned he mutineers. 1t is possible, how
ever. that the correspondents have been
msled by the fact that Admiral Kruger
who has returned with portion Of his
squadron to Sebastopol, lef, battleship
at Odessa apparently 70: tn, purpose Of
escorting the Kniaa Potemkin Tavritchesky
10 Seba-topo, wher sho was expected to
arrive this evening.
The most conflicting reports OF the situa-
ton are received from st. Petersburg.
One is 20 the effect that the knias Potemkin
Tavritcheskv surrendered, while ct the
same time there is another report that two
other tatteships on board Of which mutt
MES occurred are now outside the port.
