Mutlneers Brought Ashore
sixty-seven mutineer's from the
Georgi Pobiedonosetz were brought
ashore today and imprisoned in the
citadel.
The British consul this evening re-
leased the FIVE vessels which had been
held in readiness TO remove British
subjects. The consul general considers
that all danger has passed. The Gram
ley incident is ended. The officials, I'm

fully inspected the vessel found no
trace Of revolutionists, and apologized
to the consul general.
Peasant disturbances In the neighbour
hood Of odessa are giving rise to much
apprehension. The peasants are forci-
bly, occupying lands and seizlng live
stock. Troops have been sent to sup
press the disorders.
The authorities here are preparing
energetlcally to clean up the town and
are giving work to 10000 persons who
have been out of employment as the
result of disturbances.
| Outwardly the center of the city is
beginning to resume the normal aspect,
although comparatively few persons
are seen on the streets. But in the har-
Dor district all is ruin and devastation.
Shipping and trade are entirely at
standstill and thousands of dock labor

continues under strict martial law.
Soldiers everywhere cut off the sea
front of the city, and there is scant
ceremony in stopping persons not pro-
vided with proper permits to enter
these districts.
The lamps are not lighted after 8
o'clock and persons out later run con-
siderable risk from irresponsible SOL
diers.
Social Life of City Dead
The consulates, banking houses and
public Offices are guarded by troops
day and night. The social life of the
city is entirely dead. The beautiful
Nicholas boulevard, overlooking the
harbor, which is usually thronged with
we'll dressed people, listening to the
military music, is now completely de-
serted save for a few of the Cossacks
and a few officers.
The principal hotels on the boulevard
are virtually closed, the visitors having
all departed. Only those obtaining spe-
oial military passes can walk the boule-
ward, which commands a view of the
portions of the town desolated by last
weeks conflagration. In the harbor lie
the hulks of a dozen large and small
ships burnt, in some instances, to the
waters edge. The large warehouses
were burned out entirely and there is
scarcely house or other building in
the neighborhood that does not bear the
marks of fire.
1t is impossible to obtain accurate es-
Inmates of the damage done, but it is
variously estimated at from IS, 900, 900
to $10,OO0,00O.
Anti-Jewish Rising Feared
The general situation in Odessa has
much improved but there Is still a
widespread feeling of nervousness.
Those best knowing the conditions are
of the opinion that the gravest danger
now lies in an anti-Jewish rising. The
Jews here number 175,OOO to 100000, and
for a variety of reasons they are deep
ly hated In Odessa. The fact that they

with the fact that the police found

of two prominent and wealthy Jews,

start anti-Jewish demonstrations, the
end of which would be most terrible.
The dock strikers were fearfully pun
ished, but 1T can be said truthfully that
the military were protecting Odessa
against a crazed and infuriated mob of
incendiaries and pillagers, and con-
fronted by situation which demanded
the most repressive measures. The
stand taken by the troops last week
probably prevented the sacking and
burning of the whole city of Odessa.
