NEWS STILL INDEFINITE.
London, July 3.-Although 4S hours
have passed since the first conflicting
stories came filtering through from
Odessa, many by way of St. Petersburg
that the rebel warship Potemkine had
surrendered to the Black Sea feet. and
again that she had not surrendered
and had been Joined by another ship
definite and correct information on the
situation seems to be still lacking here.
A dispatch from Odessa yesterday af-
ternon stated that the two rebellious
warships were still in the harbor
Later in the day Lloyds' agent at
Kustendji wired that the Potemkine,
accompanied by torpedo destroyer,
had arrived off that harbor on Sunday.
The report added that a steamer ap-
peared off the harbor after the Potem-
kline had entered and came to an
anchor and seemed to be watching the
movements of the rebel ship
Kustendji is on the coast of Rouma-
MIA, more than 100 miles south of
Odessa.
Lloyds' information is rarely incor-
rect, and his agent reporting the rebel
ship a hundred miles from Odessa,
where she had been reported as being
captured, and again as having success
fully overawed the Black Sea feet sent
to capture her. makes the gaining of a
knowledge of the true state Of affairs a
monumental task for those outside the
inner circle of officialdom in Russia.
CONDITIONS ARE WORSE.
London, July 3.-The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the London Times,
cabling Sunday night, says:
"The situation at Odessa is changing
with Kaleidoscope suddenness, but not
for the better. The town and port are
quiet for the present and the resist
ance of the workingmen has been
crushed by an overwhelming force of
troops, but the utmost panic prevails.
Citizens are fleeing and foreigners are
preparing to embark on beard steamers
for some other place where their lives
will be safe.
"In the meanwhile, the Kniaz Po-
temkine, which was chiefly responsible
for the outbreak, has gone in the di-
rection of Roumania in command of
staff Of civilians. who are understood
to be representatives of a revolution
ary organization.
LAY 1T TO LIQUOR.
From the words of a high official, |
gather that everything is being done to
avoid extreme measures in the hope
that the mutineers will submit and
thereby enable the government to place
its own construction upon what has
happened. The explanation is already
volunteered in official quarters that the
ence of liquor.
'The mystery of the squadron's ac-
tion in returning to Sevastopol instead
of remaining off Odessa or Nikolaieffe,
where its presence would have assured
the protection of shipping, is thought
to be explained by the admiral's appre-
hension of further disaffection. Such
is the version given in a telegram
shown to me.
"The decision to go to Sevastopol
was, 1t is said, prompted by the desire
to place the warships within range of
the forts and shore batteries, so that
they could not join the mutineers.
PLANS NOT DECIDED.
London, July 3-The Kustendjo
(Roumania) correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Mail, in dispatch published
in that papers second edition this
states that when the Russian
battleship Kniaz Potemkine arrived
there she fired the customary salutes
The commander of the Roumania navy
boarded her and was received with the
usual honors by deputation of sailors
No officers were visible.
The sailors stated that their future
plans were not yet decided upon. They
asked to be allowed to purchase provi-
sions and to take water. and this was
allowed, they paying for the provisions
in Russian gold.
The Russian gunboat Pzesonape is
also in the harbor, but has made no
attempt to communicate with the Po-
temkine. Another warship made her
appearance off the harbor Sunday
night, but a rain and dust storm pre-"
vented her being recognized. She sub
sequently disappeared.
