MUT1NEERs SURRENDER.
Crew of Kniaz Potemkin Gives Up to
Roumanian Officials.

Kustenji, Roumania, July 10.-The
flag of St. Andrew again floats over
the Russian battleship Kniaz Potemkin
and the torpedo boat which have proved
such terrors to the Black sea communi-
ties for couple of weeks past. The
formal surrender of the mutinous crews
actually took place at one o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon after series of dis
cussions and negotiations between the
Roumanian authorities and the leaders
of the mutineers. The mutineers de-
sired to take off the treasure which was
on board the Kniaz Potemkin, but the
Roumanian authorities declined to acqui-
esce. The Russians will gradually be
conveyed to any frontier they may select
and will then be liberated, the local Off
Gals having given an undertaking to
this effect. All the sailors wished to sur
render with the exception of Matus-
chenko the leader of the mutiny. who
resisted for some time and wanted TO
blow up the ship. Seven officers were
prisoners aboard the KniaZ POtemkin.
They were in a pitiable condition from
i'll treatment. They declare that Mat
uschenko himself killed ten officers of
the battleship.
Delivered to Kruger.
Kustenji, Roumania, July 10.-Ad-
miral Kruger Sunday afternoon board
ed and took possession Of the Russian
battleship Kniaz Potemkin, King
Charles of Roumania having sent in
structions to the commander of the Rou-
mania squadron that the vessel be de-
livered to the Russian authorities with
out raising difficulties. The torpedo
boat which accompanied the Kniaz Po-
temkin, however, left for Odessa with
out surrendering, declaring that she had
not mutinied, but that the Kniaz Potem-
kin had forced her to follow.
Await Kruger's Report.
St. Petersburg, July 10.-The govern
ment is awaiting report from Admiral
Kruger before making representations
to the Roumanian government for the
return of the mutineers of the Kniaz
Potemkin. While no diplomatic steps
have been taken, the foreign Office un-
doubtedly will make the strongest rep
reservations against the mutineers be-
ing treated as simple deserters, ana de-
mand their surrender not only for mu-
tiny, but also for the murder of their of.
ficers, the bombardment of Odessa and
the Indictment to a revolution. The
vainglorious proclamation issued by the
mutineers also will weigh heavily
against them. Their crime is one which
is considered most odious by all nations,
and it is thought imperative that the
sternest justice be melted out to the ring
leaders as an example to the fleets OF
Russia and of the whole world.

BEMIDJI, Mimi, April 26-There are
indications that gambling which has
flourished openly in almost every one
of the northern Minnesota towns, will
soon be stopped. A vigoruos cam
paign has been under way at Black
duck for the closing Of all gaming
joints. The Village council has thus
far taken no action, but Blackjack re-
formers claim to have assurances from
Governor Johnson that he will take the
matter up himself if the local authori-
ties do not.
In Bemidji every gambling house
was closed last night. The action was
great surprise and was not the result
Of a campaign for reform or of any
pressure brought by the authorities.
but it is said to have resulted from an
agreement among the gamblers them
selves. Most of them have left town.
In Blackduck one year ago there
were 22 saloons and gambling places,
while today there are but eight saloons
and not more than three or four
gambling houses.

kill any dog found in the sheep or hog
corral. Hawkins testified that the
