THE EXODUS CONTINUES.
COnsulates at Odcssn Overwhelmed
with Applications for Passports.

Odessa. July 2.-2:30 p. m.-The Kniaz
Potcmkinc sailed yesterday, apparently
in the direction of the Roumanian coast
and nothing has since been heard of her.
with her departure, the situation for the
moment has taken a more favorable turn.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press has just been told ofiicially that the
mutinous crew Of the Gcorgi Pobiedono-
setz have informed the governor general
of their intention to surrender.
Vice-Admral Kruger's squadron having
left for Scbastopol the Georgi Pobied-
onosctz is the only warship remaining
here.
The only element Of immediate danger
from mutnous sailors now appears to
lie with the kniaz Potemkine.
The authorities announce that they will
issue n proclamation to tranquilize the
population as public excitement and the
exodus Of people continues.
The telegraph office is crowded and the
consulatcs arc overwhelmed with applica-
lions to wise passports.
The British consul has arranged with
four British steamers and one Norwegian
steamer to remain of tho port 40 as to be
in readiness in case OF danger to remove
steamers agreed TO remain until the sltua.
ton became clearer.
Military precautions have not undergone
the slightest relaxation. The newspapers
are under the military censorship and dc
not contain tho slightest reference to the
happenings in the harbor. An unconfirm
cd report says that the Kniaz Potcmkino
transferred a number of revolutionaries
including students and some Jewish girls
to British steamer. the name Of which
is not given.
SURRENDER CONDITIONAL.
Odessa. July 2.-According to some
reports the surrender of the Georgi
Pobicdonosetz was conditional upon
the crew being informed as to what
their punishment would be.
The vessel lies in the in1icr harbor
in n position very unfavorablc for
bombarding the city. She is COM
plctcly under the heavy guns now
mounted in the Boulevard overlooking
the harbor.
