SEBAsroPoL, July At Is stated by Of
foers Of Admiral Kruger's squadron that
when the ships arrived in the Odessa roads
the Admiral signaled to the Knlaz Po-
temhn Tavritchesky, ordering her to join
the feet Immediately. The Kniaz Po-
temhn Tavritchesky replied:
We wish the Admiral to come aboard OF
US"
Admiral Kruger did not answer this,
whereupon the kniaz Potemkin Tavrith-
chesky, which was cleared for action, passed
at full speed along the line of the squadron,
so cose that the faces Of those aboard OF
her could be discerned clearly. Her COM
mander, bushy bearded man, wore civil
Ian dress, as did several others Of those
aboard her.
Admiral Kruger then signaled the squad
ron to return to Sebastopol, whereupon the
Knaz Potemkin Tavritchesky displayed
the signal, I'VE remain here"
Commander Grzevitch, OF the Georgi
Pobiedonostseff, signaled: my machinery
l. disabled"
Admiral Kruger repeated his order:

The Georgi PobiedonostseH thereupon
ran lip the same signal as was displayed

Meanwhile the rest of the squadron fol-
lowed the Rosticaf Admiral Kruger's
flagship, to Sebastopol. As they were
leaving they saw the Georgi Pobiedonostseff
hoist tho signal, We wish to land our
officers"
MEN on SECOND SHIP MAY YIELD.
ODESSA, July -Evening.-All accounts
now agree that the crew Of the Georgt
Pohedonostseff are either remorseful or
are lacking in courage. A boat containing
the hoatswain who acted as captain Of the
mutineers and several seamen came ashore
at the breakwater, where, according TO an
Official statement they declared that they
wished to ask the Cars forgiveness. They
offered to send forty hostages ashore.
They said the ship had not been damaged.
The Governor has announced that all
danger Of bombardment is over.
There Is no longer any disputing the fact
that the Kniaz Potemkin Tavritchesky
has not surrendered. Her lowering OF
the red flag that she had been flying Ia not
explained, but it Is apparent that the
authorities took advantage Of the general
belief that that act had created to announce
he vessels surrender In order to calm
the city.
The officers who were landed from the
hniaz Potemkin Tavritchesky have since
sailed for an unknown destination.
The town Ia teeming with rumors, and
IT is most difficult to learn the truth Of the
situation.
IL is estimated that the Losses by the fire
mere on Wednesday amount to S25, 900 0OO
Twelve steamers and fifty sailing vessels
are said to have been destroyed.
