that kilograms have just been received an
nouncing that a battle is in progress out
side Of Odessa. 1t is added TIA, several of
Admiral Kruger's ships have joined the

The Illness correspondent, in earlier

STRICT CENSORSHIP,
The most complete secrecy is maintained
in ST Petersburg regarding the mutiny.
kilograms having the least reference to
the Odessa or Lilau tragedies are inter-
cepted. A foreign correspondent, whose
paper teegraphed him to 60 TO Odessa
received the messag e after delay Of twenty
four hours,
The newspapers give no hint of what
is occurring beyond printing the ukase
decreeing a state Of siege at Odessa and
an announcement that some warehouses
have been burned.
Even the officials at the Ministry of
Marine. in nine cases out Of ten, are not
aware of the mutiny. IL is understood
that the official version drafted for pub
LEGATION stated that the mutineers had left
Odessa on board foreign steamer. The
rest of Russia knows even less than st.
Petersburg.
What effect the news will have when it
gets abroad it is difficult to say. but the
Government, apprehending trouble with
the reservists, has prudcntly decided to
restrict the mobilization in st. Petersburg
to sappers and surgeons, which reduces
the numbers called for from thousands to
scores.
Meanwhile it has ordered out the reserv-
lists in other districts. The effect will he
almost general mobilization in European
Russia.
MORE woRKMEN REVOLT.
The workmen in the arms factory at
Kopino, near st. Peters burg. have mutt
MED and seized arms.
A strike is expected at st, Petersburg
Saturday.
