THEIR CRIME SERIOUS.
Mutineers Will Not Receive Very GeoD
 tie Treatment.

St. Petersburg. July s.--7:So D. m.l The admiralty late this afternoon was informed of the surrender of the Kniaz Potemkine to the Roumaniau authorities at Kustenji but the onciais here have no details of the arrange ments made between the Roumanian government and the mutineers.
 No diplomatic steps have been taken but the foreign office undoubtedly will make the strongest representations against the mutineers being treated as simply deserters and demand their sur render to answer not only for mutiny but also for the murder of their ofi- cers. the bombardment of Odessa and excitement to a revolution The vain- glorious proclamation issued by tho mutineers at Odessa will also weigh heavily against them. Their crime is one which is considered to be the most odious by all nations and 1t is thought to be imperative that the sternest justice be meted out to the ringiead- CTS as an example to the fleets of Rus sia and of the whole world. Rear Ad- miral Kruger's squadron. as soon as 1t can be reached, will be ordered to continue Its cruise to KustenJi. take over the battleship and place crew on board. There is strong senti- ment manifesting Itself in favor of wiping the name of Kntaz Potemktne
  ship a new name not recalling her dis- grace.
 On the Bourse today there were rue mors that the crew of the battleship Alexander II. had also mutinied and was bombarding Libau, but there ia not the slightest confirmation of the report The government hopes that the ignominious collapse of the mu- tiny on the Kniaz Potemkfne will have a sedative effect on the internal un- rest which was encouraged by the naval revolt
 The situation in the Causasus is 90 bad that the authorities dared not publish an official account of the naye al mutiny and the events at Odessa. There are continual disorders at Ttfits and the government Is taking meas ures to distribute arms and ammunition among the Russian population of the Causasus.
 At Kieff a non commissioned off1cer has been tried by court martial and sentenced to prison for disseminating revolutionary literature among the sol- diers.
 Serious anti-Semitic riots have oc- cured in the district around Nfniji Gorod. The educated class of the Christians have also been attacked. The police of Markarieff are powerless to stop the excesses there. The town was given over to the mob for several hours.
 The publication of the Emperor's reply to the reactionary deputatfon headed by Count Sherometief, in which his Majesty addressed the delegates as "gentlemen and brothers" has created a favorable impression even among the Liberals, as 1t is noticed that the Elm peror reiterated his promise to summon an assembly without discussing the deputations suggestions looking to a more restricted body than outlined In the Bouligin project and also that his Majesty failed to comment on their ad- vocacy of continuance of the war.
 Problem in Caucasus.
 St Petersburg, July 9.-(2:20 a. m.) The Russian Government is faced with a hard problem in the Caucasus. The Associated Press correspondent who visited Lenkoran, in the extreme southeastern corner of the Caucasus reports that Persian bandits are streaming across the border and into the province of Baku as we'll as in Erivan. where as previously reported an order was promulgated yesterday for the distribution of 1.500 rifles and a supply of cartridges to Russian set tiers in the Terek territory for their defense against the lawless mountain- eers.
 At Tifis four bombs were thrown during yesterday. All business life there has ceased and the peaceful pop-
