been a day of bewildering uncertainty In
St. Petersburg regarding the situation at
Odessa. The Russian capital is without di-
rect advices on the subject OF. the surren-
der of the Kniaz Potemkine, and the most
startling stories Of what is proceeding at
the port are in circulation in this city.
Even at the admiralty, the ministry of the
interior and other government departments
reports are current that the mutineers of
the Kniaz Potemkine, after agreeing to
surrender, returning to their anchorage
changed their minds. and succeeded in cor
rupting the crew of a battleship which
Rear Admiral Kruger left in the harbor.
The officials of the different departments
gave the Associated Press reports of the
widest emergency, stating frankly. how
ever, that they We're unable to guarantee
their correctness.
The French embassy, however, received
advlces declaring that the Kniaz Potemkine
had finally surrendered and that the mu-
tiny was at end. Whether this was
succeeded by a second mutiny was not
stated.
At the ministry of the interior the Asso-
ciated Press was informed that all that
could be officially stated that the revo-
| lutionary committee which melted the
| mutiny had left the battleship and had
escaped in a British steamer bound for
Constantinople. 1t was believed therefore
that even if the sailors again vacillated in
their decision to yield, after the first meet
ing with Kruger's squadron it was only
in the hope of further promises of consider
alton on the part of the naval authorities.
The officials further said that they could
no. state authoritatively that the Kniaz
Potemkine had or had not surrendered, but
they believed the men had yielded.
