 st Petersburg, July 4.-2:25 a" m- According to q dispatch. received by an official agency the torpedo boat de- stroyer snetiivy, with a volunteer crew. has sailed from odessa with the inten- lion of sinking the Kniaz Potemkine.
 With Kustenji and other unprotected norts of Roumania, Bulgaria and Tur- kew at the mercy of the battleshlps guns. and with the inability Of wee Admiral Krugers's squadron to inter fere with her career, tacitly admitted by the retirement of his ships rom commission, this desperate expedient was seized upon to prevent interna- tional complications and to rid the Black sea or IIlul1neSlSs rg=s#-.-. H 7r--
 This problem for single destroyer which is difficult and dangerous enough at best as she will have to encounter both the Kniaz Potemktne and her at aendant torpedo boat, is now compll- cated by the departure of the battleship from Knustenji, and ignorance as to where she will next turn up, but the dispatch from Kustenji throws a gleam Of hope on the dark situation by in timating that q considerable number of her crew are anxious to desert their leaders and escape the consequences ot their mutinous actions. .-. .......5
