THE NEW EQUITABLE
The Changing of the Directorate Is
 We'll Under Way.

New York, June 2S.-Grover Cleve- l land, Morgan K. OBrien and George Westinghouse, trustees of the majority stock of the Equitable Life Assurance society, took the rst step in the re- organization of the society today by accepting the resignations of all the directors who had rendered them and in forwarding to the board of directors the names of nine prominent citizens, representing the interests of the stock holders with the recommendation that they be at once elected. The recommendation was immediate ly complied with, and the nine gentlemen became members of the dt- rectOrate.
 The board also accepted the resigna-
 tions of all but one of the directors
 who had resigned, the one exception
 being James B. Forgan, who withdrew
 his resignation which is held in abey-
 ance.
 The other twenty-one directors whose resignations were accepted were: Cornelius N. Bliss. George H. Squire. Charles S. Smith. Brayton Ives, M E. Ingalls,. A. J. Cassatt, E. H. Hartman, Jacob H. Schiff. James J. Hill, T. Jefferson Coolidge, John Ja- cob AstOr, Marvin Hughitt, Henry c. X Stewart Alfred V. Vanderbilt, August Belmont, D. O. Mills. Robert T. Lin coin, John Sloane and Jos T. Lowe
 Of the gentlemen whose resignations were accepted all had been made known before except those of Messrs. Geo. H. Squire, Jas J. Hill and Alfred G. Vanderbilt. That these gentlemen had sent in their resignations was not known until the fact of their accept ance. The names of President J. w. Alexander and Vice President Jas H. Hyde and Messrs. Tarbell, Wilson and Mcintyre are not in the list of resign ed directors, they having only resigned as officers of the society.
 All of the new directors are to serve out the Unexpired terms of the directors whom they succeeded. the trustees to name later just who they succeed. Ali of the new directors are policy holders in the society and they become members of the board as rep resentatives of the policy holders. They constitute the first nine mem bers to be elected out of twenty-eight by the policy holders, others to be elected by the stockholders of the so- ciety later.
 The trustees also issued long statement to the policy holders UT SShIly HiNiIhlS IieT cO-Operd ton. m l the work of reorganization. A long statement from James Hyde replying to the strictures conveyed in the report l of State Superintendent of Insurance | Hendricks was read at the meeting of ! the directors.
 At the conclusion of the meeting of | the trustees MT. Cleveland left for | Buzzard's Bay, where he will spend a fortnight fishing with Dr. J. D. Bry- 1 ant and E. c. Benedict. It is not likely that there will be another meeting. of the trustees for a fortnight.

San Francisco. June 2S.-Edward C. Bellows, until recently consul general for the United States in Japan has arrived in San Francisco aboard the Pacific mail liner Manchuria MT. Bel lows brings renewed confirmation of the boycott which the merchants os China have declared upon United States manufacturers and upon goods and merchandise coming from this country He adds a new phase to the condition of affairs by bringing infor- nation that the Orientals have carried the boycott to the extent that in many Instances importers are having great difhculty in obtaining assistance Ia the unloading of American products
 There can be no doubt that there is a determined effort afOOt in China whereby it is hoped to bring pressure to bear upon the United Statef through the medium of the boycott" said BIr. Bellows.
 'The object. as has been already ex- plotted, is to force this country ro grant more liberal treatment to mer- chants and other Chinese who travel in the United States. All over China the guilds. which are similar 10 oUr boards of trade, are using their utmost influence to bring about the desired effect Many are hearkening tO their teacher. In the ports the hands who are accustomed to unload import ed goods have been taught to leave un- touched merchandise brought from our country. This condition of affairs is likely to grow.
 of course. I am not saying how ef- fectUal this mode of procedure may prove In fact. think that there is no great cause for alarm Still We mus remember that in Germany and other nations We have worthy competitors in the Chinese trade and what We lose is bound to be t'leir gain. to a certain eN- tent at least"

and are not inclined to surrender without fighting.
 Reports of the mutiny, which occurr- ed while the battleship was at sea, are difficult to obtain, as the mutineers re- fuse to allow communication with the shore, but it is ascertained that it arose from the shooting of a sailor who pre- scented himself on behalf of the crew a complaint against bad food. Accord ing to one version, this sailor who was named Omiltchuk, objected to the quality of the ''bortch," or soup. and was imediately shot down by a mess officer. The crew then rose and seiz- ed the ship and officers eight of whom were spared on the condition that they would join the mutineers. The others were killed and their bodies were thrown overheard.
 After a period of vacillation the Kniaz POtemkine headed for Odessa and arrived here last night. accompan- jed by two torpedo boats. Early today the body of Omiltchuk was brought ashore in one of the battleship's boats and was landed on the new mole. where it has been exposed in semi state all day. It was visited by thou sands of persons. many of whom placed coins in a basket at the head of the body toward a fund to defray the cost of the funeral, which the sailors pur- pose to hold tomorrow and which the strikers will make the occasion for great demonstration. An inscription on the breast of the dead sailor states on behalf of the crew that Omiltchuk died for the truth because he present ed the just complaint of the crew.
 The authorities have made no at
 
 having served notice that the ship to interfere with it. A police agent visiting the spot was killed by the strikers.
 During the day a red flag was hoist ed on the Kniaz Potemkine and mem bers of the crew rode from ship to ship in the harbOr forcing the stop page of all work thereon. Food was supplied them by sympathizers on shore, who pirated the maritime stores.
 The strike is now general in the city and the rioters are growing in mum bers and boIdness. There were ca changes of shots all day but the num- Der of victims cannot be stated. This evening a bomb was thrown in the Ca thedral Palace, killing it's thrower and a policeman.
