Kruger Due mt Odessa.
At the admiralty it is said Rear Ad-
miral Kruger's squadron is expected to
arrive at Odessa during the day. No
explanation for the delay of the squad
ron's sailing from Sebastopol nor of
the nature of KTuger's orders. II is
admitted. although great reticence is
manifested. that at O'Clock last night
the Kniaz Potemkine was firing upon
the city. The admiralty thinks the
mutnous crew was probably drunk.
More Troops Sent.
The authorities believe the troops
now at Odessa are an unreliable regi-
ment of dragons. and a brigade of ar
tillery has been sent there from Kher
son. The troops should have arrived
at Odessa this morning. With these
reinforcements and the city under mar
tial law. il is believed the military
governor will be strong enough to at
tempt TO suppress the rioters by force.
The plan is believed to be for the
troops to crush the disorders in the
city while Kruger's squadron holds the
entrance of the harbor.
VIII Net Fire ON Ship.
1t is apparently questionable wheth-
er Kruger will engage the Kniaz Po-
temkine If she refuses to surrender. as
firing upon the vessel might be a dan
gerous test for the sailors ON board his
ships. Besides il would involve the
necessity of the destruction of the
battleship costing several millions, and
damage to the city Admiral Skryd-
loff's plan of starving out the mutinous
crew is more likely TO be followed.
