LR ST. PETERSBURG, June 30, 3 a. m.— Late dispatches from Libau say that property losses there are considerable and that all the workmen have gone out in sympathy with the action of the blue Jackets. Private reports are said to have been received, according to which aetil- lery was employed against the mutineers, but this has not been confirmed, nor is there at hand any statement giving the number killed or wounded. Four lake submarine boats are moored at quays in the harbor, but a dispatch from Siman Lake says they are under guard and are “yet undamaged.” The mutiny at Libau, following on the heels of the events at Odessa, gave rise to the impression that it might be the result of a general plot of the sailors, but no connection between these occurrences has been established. Up to midnight the blue jackéts at Kronstadt had made no move which would indicate their connec- tion with the plot. AN R BRAINED BY SAILOR. i News of Rojestvensky’s Defeat Causes Death of Two Officers. ASTORIA, June 29.—The British | steamer Sandhurst arrived In this | evening, fifteen days and twenty hours trom Mororan. While the Sandhurst was at Tsing Tau, China, recently, she lay within a short distance of the Rus- slan warship Czarwitch, whieh es- caped from Port Arthur some months | ago. Captain Robertson says that when the news of Admiral Rojestven- sky's defeat was received the com- mander of the Czarwitch committed suicide by shooting himself. As an- other officer of the vessel was reading the account of Rojestvensky's defeat to the crew one of the sailors picked up a hammer and saying, ‘It is such men as you who are to blame for this,” brained the officer. Both the dead of- ficers were buried on the following day. Pl ey WITTE SOUNDS A WARNING. Great Statesman Again Cries Out Against Evils of Bureaucracy. S§T. PETERSBURG, Juns 29.—The | Slovo.®# M.

IN LODZ Martial Law Restores Order in the Polish City. LODZ, June 29.—Lodz to-day s quieter than it has been for months past. The continuance of martial law makes life and property safer than since the strikes began in January and insures excellent prospects for the re- sumption of work in practically every factory in the city. To-day was a holiday. The people promenaded the streets and attended church as usual on such occasions and thousands of workingmen and their familles picnicked in the near-by woads. Mill owners are looking forward to at least several weeks of steady work, gliving them a chance to fill orders which have piled up owing to the strike. Martial law. has permitted, the au- thorities to announce such measures as will make the resumption of disorders practically impossible. The streets are the theaters, concert halls and wine shops are closed. Otherwise the life of the city is proceeding normally, and, with the exception of numerous patrols of Cossacks and infantrymen in the streets and military Jetachments sta- tioned at the biggest factorles, there is no sign of the terrorizing days of the past week. Those days were indeed fearful, marked as they were by the killing of many Innocent persons and great bru- tality on the part of the troops. The estimates of 300 or 400 persons killed and 1000 wounded would appear to be justified, though it is impossible to give anything like the accurate flgures. It is belleved that, even without mar- tial law, the people would remain quiet, as they have had a severe enough les- son at the hands of the troops. As a result of the strikes since Jan- uary the workmen have galned an in- crease in wages averaging 20 per cent, and now they apparently have decided to work quietly for the present. 2 ———l Stinister News m-Manchuria. £7.

IR P LONDON, June 30.—Should the report that the Kniaz Potemkifie is bombarding Odessa be confirmed the incident probably will precipitate a critical international situation and the foreign Consuls there will almost certainly demand the protec- tion of warships, if they have not already done so; and, as the treaty of Paris.bars any but Russian or Turkish man-of-wars from entering the Black Sea, the Darda- nelles question might as a result be re- vived.in a novel and unexpected shape. In the opinion of the London morning papers the situation could hardly be more serfous. The outbreak of mutiny at Libau appears to have been the result of concerted action on the part of the blue jackets and is full of menace for the future peace of the Russian empire. Up to this morning no further dis- patches from Odessa have reached Lon- don and It is evident that a strict censor- ship is being enforced. The Black Sea fleet consists of nine battleships, three cruisers and eight smaller vessels. There are also several volunteer cruisers and auxiliary war- ships in the Black Sea. 5 Bl AR AWAITING VAMES OF ENVOYS. Diplomats Expect Official Announce- ment WilIl Be Made Shortly. WASHINGTON, June 298.—Diplomats in Washington ere looking to Oyster Bay for the officlal announcement within the next few days of the pleni- potentiaries who will represent Russia and Japan at the Washington confer- ence.

NEW YORK, June 29.—In following out his policy of retrenchment and stopping the crevices through which the policy-holders’ money has been sifting, Paul Mortop, chairman of the Equitable Soclety, to-day notified Chauncey M. Depew that on and after July 1 the annual retainer of $20,000, which he had received for several years, would be discontinued. p- Morton also notified David B. Hill that his retainer of §5000 would be no longer sent to him. Morton closed up his list of those who have been recelv- ing annual stipends from the soclety without, in his judgment, giving satls- factory return therefor by writing a tier to George H. Squire that his “pension or salary” of 31000 a menth would cease on July 1. The chairman did not accompany the announcement of the discontiuance of Depew's and Hill's retainers by any further state- . ment. Senator Depew will receive his notification by cable when he lands from the steamship on which he sailed last Saturday for Europe. The statement that State Superinten- dent of Insurance Hendricks had begun an investigation of the affairs of the Mutual Life Insurance Company was con- firmed to-day by Richard A. MeCurdy, president of the company. Morton left to-night for Washington, where he will turn over the affairs of his office as Secretary of the Navy to his Bliccessor. He will return to this city to- morrow with a free hand to devote his entire time to the interests of the Equitable Society. Attorney General Mayer and District Attorney Jerome had not to-day received the testimony taken by Hendricks, al- though nearly a fortnight has passed since the report was made. The Attorney General arrived In this city to-night and to-morrow will continue his work of pre- paring a suit against the Equitable’s of- ficers, to compel them to make restitu- tion to the policy-holders of all the profits received from syndicate operations. General Louis Fitzgerald sent his resig- nation as a director of the Equitable Life Assurance Society to Chairman Morton to-day. General Fitzgerald was an irntimate friend of the late Henry B. Hyde ¥nd was associated with him in the Equitable So- clety and a number of other corpora- tions. —_— e— !Uflk BY A RUSSIAN CRUISER. Danish Steamship Princess Marie Over- hauled and Destroyed.
