, the crew of the Knlaz POtemK1ne 10 &C
cept the governments offer, made
through the captain of the port, VINO
positively announced That the mutt
neers would not be allowed to receive
provisions unless they came ashore IN
armed and delivered up the battleshlp
and torpedoboat to the captain or the
port. If these conditions were fulfilled
the mutineers would be given the lib

bellious sailors conferred together, re-
fused the governments demand ana
renewed their demand for provisions.
This again was positively refused by
the captain of the port, whereupon the
ter the port, but being fired upon by
the Elizabetha and evidently awed by
the firm stand taken by the authori,
ties, decided to retire.
A sailor from the Kniaz Potemkine
who came ashore yesterday with COM
rades to negotiate with the project,
slipped away and escaped to the town.
He appeared greatly excited and ex-
hausted and reported that the battle
ships provisions were completely con-
sumed and the crew had been IN
state of starvation for the last two
days. The sailor begged not to be re-
turned to the ship, as he would be
killed. He said that only ten tons or
coal were on board the Kniaz Potem-
kline, two-tlirds of the crew favored
landing at Kustenji, while the other
third wished to return to Odessa and
lombard the city. 1t is said that there
is every reason to expect that the
Kniaz Potemkine will surrender today.

British Believe Russia Able.
London, July An the house Of
commons yesterday, Earl Percy, for
eign under secretary, replying to
suggestion that friendly representa-
tons should be made to Russia pro-
posing a temporary suspension treaty
excluding foreign warships from the
Black sea so British vessels might
safeguard the life and property of
British subjects at Odessa, said the
present circumstances at Odessa did
not afford sufficient grounds for de-
parture from the treaty rules govern
ing the Black sea. There is nothing
to show, he said, that the Russian gov
eminent has not adequate means for
protecting British subjects in common
with the rest of the population nor
that the arrival of British warships
would improve the situation.
