OF THE BLACK SEA
FLEET, CHUKNIN, IS SHOT
FROM AMBUSH AND SERI-
oUSLY WOUNDED.

Sevastopol.-An attempt was made
by mutineers Wednesday to assassin
ate Vice Admiral Chuknin, command
er of the Black sea feet. The admiral
was wounded and taken to a hospital.
The would-be assassin is a sailor,
who hid in the bushes and shot at the
admiral as he was walking in the
garden of his villa. The culprit has
not been apprehended.
The warships Panteleimon and
Three Saints have joined the garrison
of the Batum fortress, which has been
in mutiny. The Three Saints hoisted
the red flag, and the mutineers are

The Naval Revolt.
On June rs, 1905, the crew of the
Panteleimon, then called the Kniaz
Potemkin, mutinied at Odessa and de-
fled the authorities several weeks.
Meantime the city was kept in con-
slant terror by threats from the YES
sci to lombard the town. The warship
finally did fire on one of the forts, but
it soon after surrendered On No
vember &c the vessel, of its name had
been changed to Panteleimon, again
mutinied and was joined by the cruis-
er Otchakoff. Nothing serious result
ed, however and later on the warships
returned to control by the government.
Admiral Blamed for Severity.
Vice Admiral Chuknin has been
blamed for his severity, and it was to
his treatment of the crews of the ships
under his command that the mutiny
on board the battleship Kniaz Potem-
kin, in June and July last year, was
attributed. The admiral displayed
considerable activity in attempting to
capture the mutineers at that time

passengers on the steamer Quincy of
the Diamond 10 line Wednesday night
narrowly escaped death when the big
packet struck bank in the dark near
Trempealeau, Wis, turned half over
and then caught fire.
1t is believed that the majority of
the passengers were saved and only
one drowning is definitely known, that
of an infant which was washed from
its mothers arms.
A belated train brought go passen-
gers who were on the boat to this
city, Accounts given by them of the
disaster do not include positive state
ments as to drownings, but it is be-
lieved comparatively few met death.
At about 1890 o'clock the steamer,
plying up river, struck bank. At the
time, it is said, the boat carried no
searchlight. One passenger says he
saw a babe washed overheard from it's
mothers arms. The boat was sinking,
though not in deep water.
Amid a crashing of timbers, with
the boat on its side, the lifeboats were
got out and the passengers, 200 in
number, were taken off before the
flames gained any considerable head.
