Pobiedonostsefr, the officers of which are
prisoners.
The vessels are anchored in the roads
and are using their searchlig gifts vigorously,
as if expecting an attack from the rest Of

tant. One of the searchights Of the latter
is visible
The information OF this second mutiny
comes from an absolutely reliable authority.

There is nobody on the streets, | saw
an arrested sailor brought to the COM
mander's palace. believe he was beaten,

BATTLE OUTSIDE ODESSA
A despatch to the Times from st. Peters
burg, timed 1883 p. NJ, says it is reported
that kilograms have just been resolved an
nouncing that a battle is in progress out
side Of Odessa. 1t is added that several OF
Admiral Kruger's ships have joined the
mutineers.
The Timess correspondent. in earlier
dispatches reports that Admiral Kruger
delayed his departure from Sebastopol.
One of his destroyers in the meantime
The Kniaz Potemkin Tavritchesky left
Sebastopol on June 20 with the squadron.
The mutiny occurred during maneuvers
and she was enabled to slip away unnoticed.
Admiral Chukhnin, who was at st. Peters,
burg, ON learning Of the situation, tele-
graphed to Admiral Kruger to catch and
sink the battleship. Admiral Kruger, who
was at sea, received the order by wireless
telegraph. He replied that no ship was
missing He had returned to port when
the absence Of the Kniaz Potemkin Tavrit-
chesky was first noticed
STRICT CENSORSHIP
The most complete secrecy is maintained
in st. Petersburg regarding the mutiny.
kilograms having the least reference to
the Odessa or Libau tragedies are inter-
copied A foreign correspondent. whose
paper telegraphed him to go to Odessa,
received the message after delay OF twenty
four houn.
The newspapers give no hint Of what
is occurring beyond printing the ukase
decreeing a state OF siege at Odessa and
an announcement that some warehouses
have been burned.
Even the officials at the Ministry OF
Marine, in nine cases out OF ten. are not
aware Of the mutiny. 1t is understood
that the official version drafted for pub
LEGATION stated that the mutineers had left
Odessa on board foreign steamer. The
rest Of Russia knows even less than St.
Petersburg.
What effect the news will have when it
gets abroad 1t is difficult to say, but the
Government, experimenting trouble with
the reservists. has prudently decided to
restrict the mobilization in st. Petersburg
to sappers and surgeons, which reduces
the numbers called for from thousands to
scores
Meanwhile it has ordered out the reserv-
lists in other districts. The effect will be
almost general mobilization in European
Russia.
MORE woRKMEN REVOLT.
The workmen in the arms factory at
Kolpino. near st. Peters burg, have mutt
MED and seized arms.
A strike is expected at st. Petersburg
Saturday.
LOOKED FOR A NAVAL BATTLE.
