After @ period of vacillation the Eniaz Potemkine headed for Odessa and arrived here last night, accomapnied by two torpedo-boats. Early to-day the body of Omiltchuk was brought ashore in one of the battleship’s boats and was landed on the new mole, where it has | been. exposed in semi-state a]l day. It was visited by thousands of persons, many of whom placed coins in a basket &t the head of the body toward a fund | to defray the cost of the funeral, which the sailors purpose to hold to-morrow, | and which the strikers will make the | occasion for & great demonstration. An’inscription on the breast of the | deed sailor states on behalf of the crew | that Omiltchuk died for the truth, be- cause he presented & just complaint of | the crew. | The authorities have made mno at-| tempt to remove the body, the sallors having served motice that the » would open fire on any one seeking to interfere with it. A police agent vi ing the spot was killed by strikers. During the day a red flag was holsted on the Kniaz Potemkine and members | of the crew rowed from ship to ship in “the harbor, forcing the stoppage of all work thereon. Food was sapplied by sympathizers on shore, who the maritime storchouses. The strike is now general in the eit and the rioters are growing in numbers and boldness. There were exchanges of shots all day, but the number of vic- tims cannot be stated. This evening a bomb was thrown in Cathedral Pal- ace, killing its thrower and a police- man. A telegram s thrown over- pillaged | ¥ from the Mayor of! Odessa, who is at Moscow, imploring | the citizens to restore order, has been | posted throughout the city. During the day one of the torpedo- bonts which accompanied the Kniaz Potemkine came inte the harbor and seized the Russian steamship Esper- | snza. The steamship was laden with 2000 tons of coal, which the battleship is taking on board. The Governor has telegraphed for a squadron to be sent from Sebastopol, | The Russian battleship Kniaz Potem- kine is a heavily armored turret ship of 12,480 tons, having a speed of about seventeen knots. She was completed in 1902 and belongs to the Black Sea fleet. The battleship mounts four twelve- inch guns, sixteen six-inch guns, four- teen th. -e-inch guns and over twenty smaller rapid-fire guns. She carries a crew of 636 men. PR e MUTINY SAID TO HAVE II'IEAP. Revolutionists May Seize the Entire | Black Sea Fleet.

Knowledge that disaficction has been rife for svmc montas past in the Black Sea fleet. that incendiary Lires have o curred In the shipbulicing yards and that naval mutinies have taken palce of late adds to the fear that, saould the Sebastopol squadron reach Odessa it may be induced to joia the mutineers. Several members ot the House ot Com- mons having business relations with Russia were questioned in the lobby of the House last night and admitted that they regarded the situation with the utmost corcern. The majority, how- ever, inclined to the opinion that the trouble was local and that it did not necessarily show that the whole coun- try was ripe for revolution. ‘According to the correspondent of the Standard, in a dispatch dated at 10 o'clock Wednesday night, the guaran tine station in the harbor, warehouse: stores and offices and some ships hav been fired by revolutionary bands. All foreign ships, the dispatch said, were preparing to slip their moorings in case | of need, and the Kniaz Potemkine was playing a searchlight on every portion of the harbor, Late last night, perceiving a picket of Cossacks stationed at the Richelieu monument on Nicolai boulevard, the Potemkine fired a shell, killing four and wounding twenty of them. “It Is rumored,” says this corre- spondent, “but the rumor is not con- firmed, that the men of four other battieships mutinied at Sebastopol, amd that two of the ships are on my to join the Potemkine. “Two hours ago a huge mob broke through the military cordon around the town and looted two large customs warehouses. “To-night the Potemkine moved closer to the breakwater, withs her guns still trained on the ecity. All public buildings are strongly guarded and the night patrols have been in- creased by 5000 infantry and 1200 Cos- sacks.” J —_— QUAYS AND SHIPPING IN FLAMES. Incendiary Mobs Drive Back Odessa’s Fire Brigades. LONDON, June 29.—A dispatch from Odessa to a news agency, dated Wednesday night, says: “The whole of the quays and the buildings around the harbor, as well as much shipping, are in flames. Mobs of incendiaries by armed force pre- vented the fire brigades working. The troops are completely te.rorized and are afraid to appronch within range of the Kniaz Potemkine's guns, which threnten a disastrous bombardment. “The city is appallingly illuminated by burning buildings and terror pre- vails everywhere. Sleep is impossible and everybody is watching and wait- ing. The wholé garrison has been requisitioned for "patrol duty. It is thought that it may become necessary to summon foreign warships for the protection of the foreign colonies. “Tuesday night’s collisions between the mobs and police \lnfl military re- ' the | =% sulted in the loss of seventeen lives, in- ciuding threg policemen.” —_— MAY MEAN CIVIL WAR IN RUSSIA. [ Black Sea Mutiny More Disastrous Than ¥Far Eastern Defeuts. ST. PETERSBURG, June 2).—More se- rious in its possib.e effects than all the ! defeats in Manchuria or the destruction of Rojestvensky's fliet was the news which reached St. Petersburg early last evening that the standard of open re- bellion was floating on board one of the Imperor’s battleships in the harbor of Odessa, and that with shotted guns the mutinous crew, headed by eight officers, | was holding the ship against all comers. The authorities are in-almost a state of { panic, and at the admiralty consterna- | tion reigns. Admiral Wirenus, chief of the general staff of the navy, said that the admiralty had received advices rt- garding the mutiny, but he was unable to give details. He frankly confessed that the situation was very grave and that he did not know what to expect. The, Black Sea squadron, which left Schastopol on Tuesday, under command of Vice Admiral Kruger, was due to ar-j rive at Odessa last night and a battle with the mutineers may occur at any mo- | ment, The Kniaz Potemkine is a more power- ful ship than any in Kruger's squadron | and the gravity of the situation Is In- | creased by the fact that the city is prac- itkfllly in the possession of the strikers, who, according to the dispatches, had already hce& encouraged to open re- | sistance by fhe mutiny of the sailors and | were erccting barricades and fighting the J police and the troops in the streets. Tne body of Omiltchuk, lying exposed on the quay in view of thousands. and the story } of his cruel dcath evidently fired the | imaginations of the workmen, who, in ! Odessa, are of a particularly excitable | character, especially the dock and whart men. Should the sailors of Kruger’s ships join the mutineers, the Government would have to face open revolution, which would | spread like wildfire to other towns in the Black Sea littoral. The workmen of all the towns from which sailors are largely recruited are imbued with the soclalistic and revolutionary propaganda. At Sebas- topol, less than a month ago, disorders were suppresskéd with difficulty. Ever since the war started ugly re-| ports about the crews.of the Black Sea | icet have been current. Men have been shot and even officers court-martialed for dirobedience, and yesterday at Sebastopol | twelve sailors were condemned to chrul years' imprisonment for mutiny. i No better evidence of the spirit of the | | crews is needed than an officlal com- | munication made by the Admiralty yes- terday that Admiral Nebogatoff and the other officers who surrendered in the sea ; “Omiltchuk’s name will go down in his- volving about 200,000~ men, may easily precipitate a crisis and the authorities are endeavoring to keep it from the pub- | lic. All newspaper dispatches have been | stupped and the newspapers have been fcrbidden to mention the mutiny. Never- theless, the Liberals and agitators have many ways of spreading the tidings | ough under-ground channeis and, tor =tance, in St. Petersburg the news was | known in all the cafes at midnight. The radicals hail the eve::c as the dawn | of an actual armed revolution.

He declared that mar- tial law would last three weeks. A delegation of inhabitants of this city is going to St. Petersburg to urge the abrogation of martial law.

The conditions at Lodz are unchanged, except that most of the workmen have | returned to work. Out of 60,000 men, about 7060 from 22 factories remain out. Martial law prevails, the streets are constantly patrolled and the liquor shops arc closed. The general com- demnation of the strike movement at Lodz has had the effect of quieting the situation, and it is expected that the remaining strikers will soon resume work. There was a rejteration on the War- saw Boursge to-day of the rumor that the mebilization of troops in Russian Foland had commenced and possibly might be expected in Warsaw in two days, und it caused considerable excite- ment. 1t is claimed that if mobilization be attempted here it will lead to serious ! disturbances.

PETERSBURG, Juune 25.—An im- perial edict prescribes mobilization for ac- tive service of reservists in 124 districts of St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kieff, War- saw and Vilna. These districts include the cities of St. Petersburg and Moscow. The mobolization in St. Petersburg and Moscow was begun at midnight. Many of the reserve men who did not respond were seized at their homes. All day long men have been marched to bar- racks under escort. The incltdes TsarskowtSelo, Cachina, Peter- | hof and other towns in St. Petersburg province. The workmen are grumbling and trouble is expected, but thus far no rioting has occurred. Sixty thousand men have been called to the colors. Of this number about one-half will be incorporated into regiments. The proposed mobilization in Russian Poland will be confined to certain coun- try districts of the Russian provinces of Pgland, excepting Warsaw and Lodaz. where orders have been given to take in from the reserve a sufficient number of men to make up the regular complements regiments which have been reduced in strength by sending men to the Far Tiast, thus kecping up the full strength of the regiments on duty in Russian Poland. The efforts of the Soclalist agitators to persuade the men in Warsaw and Lodz to strike are being scverely criticized in the public prints, and the efforts of the Soclalists since Friday to bring about a general strike at Warsaw have failed completely. The strike, however, among the coal workers in Southern Poland, near the German and Austrian frontiers, bas again broken out and it is reported here to be serious. Efforts have been making during the past fortnight to bring about a general railroad strike for July 1 or 2 in order to hamper the Govern- ment’s mobilization movements. kg DEMAND RIGOROUS PEACE TERMS.

TOKIO, June 28.—The committee of the Constitutionalist party, of which Marquis Saionjl is president. met to- | T v s o ovink resuln | The most disquieting feature | strategic tion: The Constitutionalist party, since the out- break of the war. frequently has published its convictions, for the sake of realizing the aim and purpose of the war by proving the na- tional unity of feellng. Now that the question of concluding. peace has been brought up, though it is not neces- sary to state the terms of peace in detail, we yet deem it necessary and opportune to declare that, for the sake of realizing the aim and purpose of the war, as stated at the lec- laration of hostilities, and also for the sake of securing a future gu: est of our empire, in the extreme East on a permanknt basis, the cession of territory and repayment of the out- lays caused by the war be demanded and the orean and Manchurian questions definitely and clearly settled. The leaders of the Constitutionalist party, after taking this action, inter- viewed Premier Katsura and present- ed the resolution. A manifesto published to-day by the Frogressive party Is practically iden- tical with the resolution adopted by the Constitutionalists. It contains, however, the following additional points which the party desires to have incorporated in the peace agreement: Forbld Russia to raise works for warlike use in localities where Japan's interests might Compel Russia to relinquish the privileges she has enjoyed in Manchuria, refrain from future interference with the Manchurian ques- tion, and pledge herself to undertake no megs- ure to be menacing to peace or the in- terests of the frontiers of China. 2T S inscms KUROPATKIN’S TACTICS.
