Envoy Extraordinary.
Count Ignatieff has left in special
train for Odessa He has been vested
with extraordinary powers to deal with
the situation there. 1t is believed he
has been given authority to treat with
the mutineers.
The situation in the Black sea could
not be worse. The Split Of mutiny was
SO widespread that the entire feet has
been put out of commission for fear
that the other sf.Is would join the reb-
els on the Potenksn and Pobieodonost-
gen. This much IS practically admitted.
The two rebel warships apparently
have the sea to themselves
II has been reported that the crew OF
both ships n the hands of the mutineers
have offered to surrender Il granted
amnesty. These Fepof are not given
much credence-
At Libau and Kronstadt.
While it is said at the admiralty that
the situation at both Libau and Cro1-
stadt is well in hand. there are rumors
that at both places there Is great danger
of other outbreaks. Sailors and some
soldiers, 1t is said are deeply incensed
at the violation of the promises Of am
nesty to the Libau rebels when they laid
down their arms.
No doubt Is felt here that the mutiny
was a premeditated affair and was car
ried out according to a carefully pre-
pared plan. It Is felt as equally certain
that the conspiracy extended to all the
fiect.
It is this feature of the situation which
has caused n panic among the officials
and which leads them to fear that the
army Is also affected.
The most strenuous efforts are being
, made to prevent outbreaks at other
points. and, so far as can be learned.
| they have been Ineasurahly successful.

i 1t is difficult to get any news from
the south. The censorship Is extraordi

means of getting information through
