nag OF st. Andrew once again floats
over the battleship Kniaz Potemkine
and the torpedo boat which have prov
ed such terrors to the Black sea CON-
munities for couple of weeks past.
The formal surrender of the mutinous
crew actually occurred at / O'Clock
this afternoon after a series of discus
sions and negotiations between the
Roumanian authorities and the leaders
of the mutineers.
The Roumanian officers who board
ed the battleship on her arrival here
called upon the crew to surrender, in
which case they would be treated as
foreign deserters, or else leave forth
with.
1t speedily became apparent that the
Russian vessels returned to this port
with the intention of giving them
selves up to foreign government, and
the crew soon announced the accept.
ance of the Roumanian terms.
The mutineers wanted to take off the
treasure which was on board the Kniaz
Potemkine, but the authorities declin-
ed to acquiesce.
1t is stated that the Russians will be
gradually conveyed to any frontier
they may select and will then be lib
Grated, the local officials having given
them an understanding to this effect.
The Roumanian flag as we'll as the
Russian has been hoisted over the Rus
sian war vessels go as to prevent any
attack on them by the vessels of the
Russian squadron.
st. Petersburg, July 1O.-The admi.
rally has been duly informed of the
surrender Of the Kniaz Potemkine to
the Roumanian authorities at Kustenji,
but the officials here have no details of
the arrangements made between the
Roumanian government and the mu.
tineers.
No diplomatic steps have been taken,
but the foreign Office undoubtedly will
make the strongest representations
against the mutineers being treated as
simple deserters and will demand their
surrender to answer not only for mu-
tiny, but also for the murder of their
officers, the bonn bardment of Odessa
and Indictment to a revolution.
The vainglorious proclamation issued
by the mutineers at Odessa will also
weigh heavily against them. Their
crime is one which is considered to be
the most odious by all nations, and it
is thought to be imperative that the
strongest justice be melted out to the
ring leaders as an example to the fleets
of Russia and of the whole world.
Face Hard Problem.
The Russian government is faced
with hard problem in the Caucasus.
