kustenji, Roumania, July 11.-The
report that the Kniaz Potemkine
sailed with Rear Admiral Kruger's
squadron Sunday evening turns out
to be incorrect. Before leaving the
Kniaz Potemkine the mutineers open

She is now lying at the bottom, but it.
is expected she will be refoated in
time to leave for sevastopol July IL.

left for Odessa without surrendering,
declaring that She had not mutinied,
but that the Kniaz Potemkine had
forced her to follow.
1t is said that during the last few
days the vessel was navigated by two
engineers and an officer, with revol-
vers at their heads.
All the sailors wished to surrender
with the exception Of Matuschenko,
the leader of the mutiny, who resisted
for some time and wanted to blow up
the ship.
Seven officers were prisoners aboard

SECRETARY WILSON STANDS PAT,
Not Afraid of Libel Suits as Result of
Recent Statements.

Washington, July 11.-That Secre-
tary Wilson intends to take no step
backward in his report on the cotton
leak investigation was evidenced by
his statement that he was not afraid
of any libel suit which might be filed
against him by Mr. Price or others
mentioned in the report. In fact, he
said, he would welcome such action
because it might be the means of de-
veloping some facts not already un.
covered and which it was desirable to
know. He said he would not commu-
nicate with Mr.. Price or his attorney.
This is a quarrel among gamblers .

that he would suggest to President
Roosevelt to recommend to congress
that legislation be enacted to cover
cases of a similar character involving

Paris, July 11.-Premier Rouvier
submitted to the chamber of deputies
during the day the notes exchanged
between him and Prince Won Radolin
constituting the Franco-German agree
ment relative to Morocco. Great inter.
est attached to the statement owing
to the feeling that the agreement had
averted situation recently involving
the possibilities ssgsszs
3 Nj. irouyier followed the reading of
the notes with a detailed expia1rativ.,-
of the negotiations. He declared that.
the understanding now between Ger
many and France was formed upon
the essential principles fully recogniz-
ing the special interests of France. He
added:
"The accord thus realized leaves in
tact the arrangements France had pre-
viously concluded with other powers.
At no moment of the negotiations did
the discussion turn upon the Anglo
French agreement or the Franco-Span-
ish agreement. The declarations made
in the notes and the formal assurances
from the representatives of the Ger
man government permit me to affirm
that Germany does not question our
accord with Great Britain and Spain.
How could it be otherwise since it is
evident that accords between two pow
ers are not matters for discussion with
a third power. The chamber can
felicitate itself in the happy result of
Germany, thanks to the sincere efforts
of both governments
M. Rouvier's statement was raptur-
ously applauded on both sides of the
chamber.
