AUTHORITIES SECURE POSSES
SION OF THE KNIAZ Po-
TEMKINE.
All Sailors Wished to Surrender Ex-
cept Leader of the Mutiny, who
Resisted and Wanted to Blow up
he Ship.

kustenji, Roumania, July 1o.-Ad-
md took possession of the Russiat bat
,leship Kniaz Potemkine, King Charles
OF Roumania having sent instructions
o the commander to the Roumanian
squadron that the vessel be delivered
t, the Russian authorities without
sasiug difficulties
The torpedo boat which accompanied
the Kniaz Potemkine, however, left
for Odessa without surrendering, de-
claring that she had not mutinied, but
that the Kniaz Potemkine had forced
her to follow.
Admiral Kruger arrived with his
squadron yesterday morning, and after
exchanging the customary salutes, in
timated that he had come to arrange
for the transfer of the Kniaz Potem-
kline
Admiral Koslinsky, commander of
the Roumanian squadron, boarded the
E lsslan battleshp and informed Adj
mlral Kruger that King Charles had
ordered him to turn the vessel over to
the Russian admiral.
Despite the efforts of the Rouman-
ians to get things ship-shape, every
thing aboard the battleship was ir
state of wild disorder.
The officers cabins were stripped of
everything of any value, and blood
stains were everywhere. There was
sufficient ammunition aboard the Kni-
az Potemkine to have enabled the mu-
timers to make long and. desperate
resistance.
days the ship was navigated by two
English engineers and an officer with
revolvers at their heads.
ALI the sailors wished to surrender
with the exception of Matuschenko,
the leader of the mutiny who wanted
to blow up the ship.
Seven officers were prisoners aboard
the ship. b..
They were in pitiable condition
from i'll treatment.
They declare that Matuschenlko
himself killed ten officers of the bat
tleship.
All the papers and books belonging
to the vessel were destroyed.
It appears that the decision to sur
render the KDiaz Potemkine was made
when it became evident that no other
vessels would join in the mutiny.
The crew Of the battleship seemed
to be unaware of the the surrender OF
the Georgi Pobiedonosetz, and expect
ed that she also was coming to Kus-
tent to capitulate to Roumania.

Chairman ShOnts said in response to
inquiries about the resignation of SUI

He said Mr.. Prescott had been sue

Japanese Losses.
In a similar compilation the results
as far as the Japanese navy is con-
cerned show as follows:
Battleships, q; displacement, 27,757.
Cruisers, 4 displacement, 1878.
Other kind, A. displacement, 4797.
Destroyers, Q; displacement, 1888.
This makes a total of IL, with ton
mage of 46,025.
Superiority of the Japs.
Summing up the entire naval situa-
ton in detail, it appears that the
Japanese force of 76 vessels, with a
displacement of 274,1S4 tons, has
sunk or captured Ga ships, with total
displacement of 2S9,77S tons. 1t is
true that this includes the ships which
the besiegers' guns at Port Arthur
helped to disable, but it was owing to
the exertions of the Japanese fleet
that these ships were driven into Port
Arthur and held prisoners there.
Another important point is that
whereas the Japanese have lost II
ships, with a total displacement OF
46,025 tons, they have captured and
added to their navy seven vessels
representing 44,4S6 tons. Nor is this
all. Already at Port Arthur the bat
| tleship Peresviet, 1854 tons, and the
armored cruiser Bayan, 1900 tons
have been raised, and at Chemulpo the
protected cruiser Variag, $500 tons
Other ships will also be raised, bu
even with the addition of these three
the Japanese navy energies with
displacement of 25,455 tons create
than it had when the war commenced
whereas the Russian navy has beel
practically annihilated.
In addition it should be remembers
that there have been added to tn
Japanese mercantile marine 40 yes
sells, with an aggregate displacement
of over 10000 tons. 1t may be OF
served that in no case has a noncon
Blatant vessel been sunk by the Japs
nese navy.
