RUSSIAN SEAMEN REVOLT.
Crew Of Warship Takes Possession and
May Fight Black Sea Fleet.

ODESSA, June 26.-The red fag of
revolution is hoisted at the masthead
Of the Kniaz Potemkin, Russia's most
powerful battleship in the Black sea
which now lies in the harbor In the
hands of the mutineers. The captain
and most of the officers were murdered
and thrown overheard in the open
sea, and the ship 10 completely In pos.
session of the crew and few officers,
who have thrown in their lot with the
mutineers.
The guns of the Kniaz Potemkin are
trained on the city, and in the streets
masses Of striking workmen, who fled
from the volleys Of the troops, are
now inf amed by the spectacle of open
revolt on board an imperial warship
and are making a bold front against
the military.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 29.-More
serious in its possible effects than all
the defeats in Manchuria, or the de-
struction of Rojestvensky's feet. was
the news which reached St. Peters
burg early last evening that the stand.
ard Of open rebellion was floating on
board one OF the emperor's battleships
in the harbor of Odessa and that the
mutinous crew, headed by eight Off
GERS, was holding the ship against all
comers. The authorities are almost
in state of panic and at the admiral
ty CONSERVATION reigns.
Reports OF the mutiny, which oc'
Cured while the battleship was at sea,
are difficult to obtain, as the mutineers
refuse to allow commune alton with
the shore, but it is ascertained that ii
arose from the shooting Of sailor
who was presenting, onlbehalf of the
crew, a complaint against bad food.
According to one version, this sailor,
whose name was Omiltchuk, objected
to the quality of "borchtch, or soup,
and was Immediately shot by mess
officer. The crew then arose and seized
the ship and the officers, eight of whom
were spared on condition that they
would join the mutineers. The othere
were killed and their bodies thrown
overheard.
The battleship Kniaz Potemkin is a
heavily armored turret ship of II, ,4SC
tons, having q speed of about seven
teen knots. She was completed in
1902 and belongs to the Black sea fleet.
The battleship mounts four 12.inch

firing guns. She carried crew o1

Miserles Of indigestion
Thousands Of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable aud do
pressed and nervous and sleepless Ii be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid Of the difficulty In the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges.

reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. williams

sallow. As the result Of using eight
boxes Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits Of which ! learned from
friends In France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again totake
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story. but II II had mot
been for DIR. Williams Pink Pills IL
might have been O tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep ct night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must DO
merely question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is . native OF
