STORIES CONFLICTING

ST. PETERSBURG, July % am-'"The
ST Andrews flag is now flying from the
masthead of the kniaz Potemkine"
An Odessa dispatch received here at 2
O'Clock this morning reports in these words
the surrender of the battleship by her
mutinous crew, and adds that steamer
has gone out 10 the kniaz Potemkine with
a supply of provisions.
This was the first definite statement re-
ceived in ST. Petersburg regarding the sur
render of the battleship, and the dispatch,
which leaves so many details yet to be
cleared up, is accepted here with caution.
and until 1t is fully established that an
adequate guard has been placed aboard the
hattleship and command restored to he-
commissioned officers apprehension that
the revolt viii break out again will not
be ended
During Saturday ST. Petersburg was with
out definite knowledge to whether he
crew of the kniaz Potemkine had returned
TO Its allegiance or whether the revolt still
continued and perhaps had spread to other
ships. and the inability of the government
TO announce an end of the uprising gave
rise to the darkest reports. The few dis
patches which arrived yesterday through
the official agency We're evidently carefully
censored and lacked reference to the mu-
tiny. but the details they gave about the
positions commanding the harbor and of
| the refusal of the authorities to allow the
sailors of the Kniaz Potemkne to pur-
chase provisions seemed TO bode Ill.
Mutineers Changed Their Minds.
American Consul Heenan at Odessa who
| Friday announced the surrender of the
| Kniaz Potemkine, yesterday sent panicky
dispatch to Ambassador Meyer beginning
terrible news" 1t gave report that other
ships of the Black Sea feet had mutinied
and declared. though not definitely that two
warships. evidently the Kniaz Potemkne
and the Georgi Pobiedonosetz. were in the
harbor, but not mentioning whether the re-
volt continued.
Altogether. IL seems apparent that the sub
mission of the sailors of the Kniaz Poteni-
kline to Vice Admiral Kruger's squadron OF
Friday was only temporary and that the
mutineers had changed their minds after
| their return to the harbor and the departure
of the squadron. Whether TIE crew of the
Georgi PobedonosetZ was spared disa fec
| tion is not definitely known but the Knaz
Potemkine evidently yaci.lated for a long
time as to whether they would continue the
long contest or throw up the sponge
1t is reported here that aS3 men deserted
from the Kniaz PoteYdkint during Saturday
and threw themseIy on the mercy of the
authorities, thereby leaving the mutineers
too shorthanded TO fight and work their
ship. The report continued that the Vechls
% crew declined an invitation to come

TO VISIT |STHMUS
Two Commissioners Going
to Panama.
WILL INSPECT CANAL
CONDITION OF WORK TO BE RE-
VIEWED.
It is Thought That Engineer Wallace's
Withdrawal Will Not Delay
Operations.

The isthmian canal commission at a meet
ing which lasted practically all day yes
terday reviewed and approved the reports
of the bi-weekly meetings of the executive
committee of the commission held since the
last meeting of the full commission in
April Mr.. Wallace was member of the
executive committee. Messrs. Hams and
Herrod of the commission were delegated
to go at once 10 the isthmus and make q
careful review of the condition of the work
as they find it, and it is probable that
Chairman Shonts and Mr.. Stevens, the new
chief engineer, will go to the isthmus at
the same time, the sailing date being liked
a next Thursday
Chairman Shonts has cabled the tenn
porary appointment of Engineer Dauchy as
chief engineer on the isthmus until the
arrival of Mr.. Stevens. He has also cabled
authority to the assistant superintendent
of the Panama railroad to conduct that
road until the arrival of Mr. Stevens.
Traffic Agreement to Continue.
The traffic agreement between the Pam
anna. railroad and the Pacific Mail Steam
ship line which expires July II, according
to the notice given by the government. will
not interfere with the through billing of
freight over that line to Pacific ports, both
in North and South America, as hereto
fore While no agreement to this effect
ment and the steamship line, an oral under
standing has been reached whereby the old
Arrangement is to continue. to be inter-
rupted on ninety days notice from the
steamship company. This arrangement was
the outcome of an effort to have the United
States agree to bill freight only to steam
ship lines having American register, there
being no other American lines in the Pacific
trade.
The two steamships Havana and Mexico
purchased two days ago by Chairman
Shonts from the Ward line for $6JO,00O each.
will be put into commission between New
York and the sthmus at once. The boats
are sixteen-kn vessels and will establish
a five-day service.
No Delay Likely.
Gen. Davis, recently appointed by 1.-THE
President as chairman of the advisory
board of engineers of the commission, at
tended the meeting yesterday ON the fnvi-
Ia ton of Chairman Shonts. With the visit
of the engineering members of the commits
sion to the isthmus with view partieu-
Iarly getting together all available data
as to the engineering features of the
work to be accomplished. the opinion was
EXPRESSED by the commissioners that no
delay because of the resignation of Mr..
Wallace would be occasioned either in
carrying on the work on the isthinus or in
preparing plan by which the canal shall
be constructed.
The commission approved the recon-
mendation of it's engineering committee
that all bids relative to the dredging of
Colon harbor be rejected.

THE MOROCCAN ISSUE
FRENCH RESPONSE TO GER
MANY's LAST NOTE DELIVERED.

PARIS, July 1.-Prince Won Radolin, the
German ambassador, called at the foreign
Office this evening by appointment and dur
ing two hours talk with Premier Rouvier
received from the latter the French re-
sponse to Germany's latest note concerning
Morocco.
The response takes into consideration the
assurances Germany has given relative to
French interests in Morocco and modifies
some of the objections at first raised
against a conference.
The general tenor of the response is fav-
orable to the principle of a conference.
Diplomatic circles, therefore, regard the
controversy as practically closed, as little
now remains to be done except to adjust
details. This, however, may take some
time, as each side is tenaciously contesting
every step.
Thinks Americans Lean Toward France
BERLIN, July 1.--There is a feeling here
that American opinion leans toward France
and Great Britain and against Germany
in this question. This causes regret be-
cause from the German standpoint Ger
many is contending for the free trade
rights of all countries in Morocco. Ger
many, however, has established her diplo-
matte position with the sultan, who feels
that if he yields to the French proposals
he Is lost Therefore, the sultan is willing
to give Germany many advantages and
concessions for her continued support
II France does not agree to an interna-
tional conference the German government
Will feel in no great sense at a loss. as
Germany will be able to proceed in Morocco
in her own way. Morocco is one of the few
places in the world open to all comers
Germany will not consent, it is said In
official quarters to have such interests as
she had there destroyed, as they were in
Tunis after French colonization.
If the other powers are Indifferent to a
conference without France, then Germany
Will secure her own position in Morocco Il,
such an extent as possible through peace
fu! trade measures, which may include a
loan to the sultan secured by mortgage
on the customs of of the Moroccan
ports

boy. witnesses OF the accident state that
the engineer was ringing the bell when the
engine started back and continued ringing
It until the crossing was reached.
The scene when Mrs. O'Neil reached the

the extreme and it was with some diff
Guilty that she could be induced to permit

MCGOWAN a PuhIIc Charge.

Daniel MCGOWAN, who while en- route
from Dublin, Ireland, to California, be-
came mentally deranged and taken
from the train at the Union Pacific trans
fer and turned over to the commissioners
on insanity, is likely to become a charge on

his life.
MCGOWAN was sent to st. Demands hos
pital on June 49, 1903 and efforts to- locate
the sister to whom. he was going at the

Gently the county authorities took the
matter up with the immigration bureau
with the idea of having MCGOWAN deported
back to ireland.
