MUT|NEERS ESCAPED
Renegade Battleship Got
Away From Theodosia
BEFORE FLEET ARRIVED
REPORTED SHIP CoALED FROM A
BRITISH COLLIER.
Variance Of Opinion as to Direction
Taken by the Kniaz Potemkine-
Theodosia Unmolested.
BEFORE FLEET ARRIVED

ST. PETERSBURG, July 7-12:4O pm
The Kniaz Potemkine escaped from Theo-
dosia before the Black Sea fleet arrived
there from Sebastopol, and as the fleet did
not put into Theodosia it is presumed the
warships are in pursuit of the Kniaz Po-
temkine.
The advices received by the admiralty,
however, are meager and most conflicting.
It is considered possible that Ensign and
Quartermaster'' Alexieff who commands
the Kniaz Potemkine, was advised of the
fleets coming and left Theodosia.
At any rate, it is clear that she coaled
from British ship, which she subse-
quently released, and then sailed away.
Speculation Over Ships Course.
The reports to the direction taken by
the kniaz Potemkine do not agree. Ad-
miral Wirenius, chief of the general staff
of the navy informed the Associated Press
that one report said she had sailed west
ward in the direction of Livada, raising
the suspicion that it is the intention of her
crew to lombard the emperor's summer
palace Another rumor said that when the
kniaz Potemkine was last seen she was
headed southeast, as if bound for the Cau-
casus Littoral. This subsequently was sup
plemented by report from Sebastopol that
the kniaz Potemkine had put into Tuapse,
some mysterious fashion by soldiers.
The torpedo boat destroyer Smetilvy
manned by a crew of officers aid bluejack-
cts. who volunteered to sink The mutineer
reached Theodosia several hours after the
kniaz Potemkine had departed, and after
hurriedly coaling the Smetilvy put to sea,
presumably in pursuit of the rebel battle
ship.
Theodosia Not Bombarded.
