ODESSA. July 3. (1:10 I M:)-Those vrho brought about th disorders 'and the strikers generally ljavo had a fearful les son, but it is an open question whether they would not do the same thing over again under provocation. The soldiers are camped In the city quare and in some of the boulevards. The artillery, which wa posted on the coast close to Odessa with the pun? trained toward the Knlaz Potemkin. was removed. The city is constantly patrolled, and detachments are traversing the streets all the time The theaters and concert halls are Mill closed, and very few persons are seen in the streets after 10 o'clock at night. "The general situation in Odessa has jnuoh improved, but there Is still a wide-" upread feeling of nervousness. Those best knowing the conditions are of the opinion that the gravest danger now lies in a possible anti-Jewish rising. The Jews here number about 17500 to 200,000. and for a variety of reasons they are deeply hated in Odessa. The fact that they are credited with bombthrowing during the recent disturbance, coupled with the fact that .the police found large collections of bombs" In the houses of two prominent and wealthy Jews, has served to inflame minds against them, and It would not take much to start anti-Jewish demonstrations. the end of which would be most terrible. The dock strikers were fearfully pun ished, but it can be said truthfully that the military were protecting Odessa against a crazed and infuriated mob" of incendiaries and pillagers and confronted by a situation which demanded the most repressive measures. The stand taken by the troops last week probably prevented the sacking and burning of the whole City of Odessa, countless murders and inde scribable terrorism The conditions in the country surround ing Odossa are very disquieting. The peasants are 1'; lng and burning. Several telejrrams were received here Saturday from different points in the government of Kherson. In which Odessa Ik situated, telling of dis orders and the dangers to landed propri etors and asking military protection, but it will be extremely difficult for the au thorities to spare any of the 12.000 troops quartered here for service outside of Odessa. Orders have been sent to the officers of the Georgl Pobledonostseff who re sumed charge after the mutineers were put ashore, to take the vessel .to Sebasto pol. Jews Flee in Thousands. Jews are fleeing from the city In thou sands. Jewish agitators, according to some consular reports rocelved at the Embassies here, were prominent In In citing strike riots in throwing the first bomb on Tuesday and In firing on the police and soldiers Wednesday.. When the Potemkin arrived, they fanned the flames and. according to these reports, the population of Odessa Is disposed to lay much of the blame- for the bloodshed resulting from the demonstrations at their doors. The government purposes to give out a statement of killed and wounded today. At ICleff, the first mobilization trouble occurred. The reservists attacked and wounded sveeral policemen and plundered the liquor shops! Jews are avoiding the service by flight. Soldiers Kill Their Colonel. More serious in its way. however, was tile refusal of the disciplinary battalion at: Kherson to obey orders: The men at tacked their captain and killed their colonel. The latter, when mortally wound ed bv bayonets, marched his soldiers to barracks and then sank dying. The effervescence in Poland has again commenced. Police have been attacked with bombs, and In several places there have been . collisions between the troops and the populace. At Kaltze five persons were killed. Other evolutionaries in other parts of the country arc making the most of the opportunity to preach strikes and disorder, and the intellectuals pro pose a general stoppage of activity by all professional classes. Moscow Is comparatively quiet as yet. but there is much nervousness over the ugly attitude of the workmen. About half of all the trades have again struck, and it Is believed the strike will spread. Cossacks had to use knouts near Putlloff yesterday afternoon and grave trouble is not unlikely. While commerce at both St. Peters burg; and at Cronstadt is at a stand still, the report that Cronstadt is closed to foreign shipping is untrue. The "strike of longshoremen continues and the sailors, though not mutinous, are openly declaring their sympathy with their comrades in the Euzine Sea. At the embassies the seriousness of the situation Is fully realized." but the their heads and not become alarmists, diplomats advise their callers to keep The Council of Ministers, it is under stood, has modified the Roullgan pro ject, making .the Dou'ma resemble closer ly the Prussian, but with only an ad visory voice. Xcw Version of Mutiny, The Official Messenger this morning publishes; a three-column account of the disorders at Odessa and the mutiny on the Kniaz Potemkin. which it char acterizes as a sad and shameful epi sode, unprecedented in the history of the Rusian fleet." attributing to the mutiny the transformation of economic disorders into open revolt, accompanied by murder and incendiarism. It gives a new version of the origin of the mu tiny, showing- that an offier fired upon and killed the sailor Omiltchuk only when the mutineers were advancing wjth loaded guns and when the mutin eers had refused to obey orders to shoot. The officers were then hunted down and killed singly. Jumping over board, they were shot in the water with rifles and quick-firing guns. Thirty sailors "were also shot. The mutineers fired at a torpedoboat and forced Its crew to join them. Other details are gives, but they Have, mostly been cov ered by the dispatches. PANIC 'GROWS IX CAPITAL. Soldiers Disaffected and "Workmen of Ports on Strike. ST. PETERSBURG, July 3,Th nervousness which pervades all classes is increasing. The government's policy in keeping back the facts, bad as tlfey are, is resulting in people giving- a willing ear to all the stories that are .set afloat. Nothing seemingly is t6o wild to receive ready credence. Many are convinced that the country is ac tually in the throes of a revolution. Although the critical character of ;the situation can hardly be overstated, and while the danger of a general up heaval 1s undoubtedly real, there Is no open muWny of soldiers, and until some regiments, following- the example of their comrades of the navy, go over, the rising has little chance of success. At the same time there Is enough deep discontent among many of the soldiers here to render it doubtful whether they will stand the test of obeying or ders to Are on the people in, the streets. General TrepofTs warning to the newspapers not to print a word about the Black. Sea fleet troubles, although obeyed in St. Petersburg, h.us aroused Insistent demands for permission to publish the facts, while some of the Moscow papers openly defied the Inhi bition. The revolutionists are working with feverish activity In spreading the news broadcast, scattering proclama tions to the soldiers and summoning the workmen everywhere to strike and Join the movement for emancioatlon. Today the workmen of the Port of St. Petersburg, following the lead ,of the Cronstadt workmen, left work, and commerce is at a standstill, and all the yards of the Neva are idle. Cronstadt resembles a city In time of war. The streets are patrolled by Cossacks, Iri fantrv and sailors. Some of the guard regiments have been brought from St. Petersburg to Krasnoe-Selo, Bnd while outwardly the city appears calm, no one knows what to expect from hour to hour. During the afternoon there were several collision? between the police ami strikers on the Schusselburg causeway, and the Cossacks who 'were summoned, chat Red and dispersed the workmen with their whips. It is rumored that the crew of the battleship Alexander II has mutinied and sailed away with the vessel, but a telephone message from Cronstadt says this is not true. Vice-Admiral Kxuger's return to Se vastopol, and his drawing the fires from under the boilers of his ships and uncoupling the engines is accepted as conclusive evidence that not only could he not rely on his crews to attempt to coerce the mutineers, but as showing that the bluejackets are In such a re bellious spirit that it is feared they may take possession of the ships and Join their comrades. The exodus from Odessa continues. "While the city Is calmer, a state of al most terror exists. According to dis patches received Ticre, German and British ships are being held- off the port by the Consuls to take oft foreign citizens in case of anarchy. A British ehip has offered hospitality to the Americans at Odessa. BRITISH STEAMER SEIZED. Admiral Seurclics for RefuRees Xevr Governor In Charge. ODESSA, July 3. 00:13 P.

Estimates of the number killed during thf fires and rioting of laat week run as high as 6W0. A far greater number were shot down, but many of the bodies were incinerated.

The Governor-Gen- j oral ordered the editors not to make the i slightest reference to the present out- break nor to the strike. I .SKDITIOX SPREADS IX ARMY Officers I'mlrr Arrest and Rebel Soldiers Shot. ODESSA. July 4 (Special.)-Superfl-clally. the Hltuatlon eems more hopeful and the peace outlook Is brighter, owing to a relaxation of the strenuous militar ism of the past few day. Under the surface of affair, however, the situation is most alarming, owing to the wildfire spread of dissension and rebellion In the army. Twenty officers are now under arrest, owing to tlnMr declarations that they will not in the future give orders to their command to fire upon unarmed people. It Is known that the revolutionary propaganda Is making gigantic strides in the army. It is stated that within the lam week 30 soldiers, who were known to be of the revolutionary party, have been summarily shot by -their officers. Last night 50 revolutionists, three of whom were soldiers, were put to death. While it 1? generally believed that an actual revolution Is some distance away, it is conceded that those behind the movement are embracing every oppor tunity to increase their power, and that the work of the revolutionary agents among the soldiers Is mort fruitful. Peas ant disturbances around Odessa and Cherson are causing the authorities much alarm. MUTINY OX CRONSTADT SHIP Sailors on Mlnine Refuse- to Go to Sea. CRONSTADT. July 3. The crew of the Russian cruiser Minine refused to put to sea with the other vessels of the active squadron, alleging that the age and bad condition of the Mlnine prevented her participation in the gun maneuvers. The ringleaders of this mutiny were arrested and the Mlnine was towed close to a fort, where she Is now anchored. COLUMBIA RIVKR EXCURSIONS. Very Loir Rate Via the O. R. to Upper River Felats.

CZAR BETWEEN TWO FIRES Confronted 1y Alternative of Rcvofu tion or Suicide. CHICAGO. July 3.-Special.)-The Dally News ha? the following cablegram from Its Peterhof correspondent Nicholas Is In a serious dilemma. He has refused to sign a ukase declaring the whole country In a state of war, as he fears the army will rebel and Join the people. At the same time, he is equally afraid to promulgate a constitution dreading a court revolution through which he might meet the fate of Paul I, the Czar who wa assassinated In 1W1 "Meanwhile the situation Is growing worse. The Cossack? are all employed in quelling the revolts In the cities and can not be employed against the peasants. who are destroying the manors, or the laborers, who are burning factories in the cities. "It Is now said that the tnutiny in the fleet Is the result of a feud between Ad mlral Skrydloff and Admiral Alexleff on the one hand, and Admiral Avellun and Grand Duke Alexin on the other.

MIvTHODS OF THE REBELS. Won Over PobledonoslselTs Crew by Pledging: Army's Aid. ST. PETERSBURG. July 3. General Kahanoff. who Is In military charge of Odessa, has reported to the Emperor that h revolutionary committee of 20 was In control of the Knlaz Potemkin when that battleship and the Geofgi Pobledonostzcff sailed. The crew on board the latter, Genedal Kahanoff added, was won over by this commit tee, together with a number of Jewish stuJents. who went on board and in formed tne sailors that the army was In entire sympathy with the movement an.l advised the crew to throw the offi cers overboard To the latter advice the crew demurred and later the offi cers were set ashore. A revolutionary committee- was then organized on board the Georgl PobleJ onostzeff and the two mutinous ships sailed. They returned to tne harbor Saturday night, but the Knlaz Potem kin. having no pilot on board, put to sea again and called for Roumanla, whereas the Georgl Pobiedonostzeft en tered the harbor and after a parley with the military authorities the crew expressed a desire to return to Its al legiance and take back its officers. LIKE BELEAGUERED CITY. Odessa Gunrded Xlpht and Day and Kept In -Darkness. ODESSA,- July 3. (S:S6 P. M.) Peasant disturbances in the neighborhood of Odes sa are giving rise to much apprehension. The peasants are forcibly seizing lands and livestock. Troops have been sent to suppress the disorders. The authorities here are preparing, en ergetically to cleanup the town and are giving work to 3.0 persons, who have been out of employment as the result of the disturbances. Outwardly the center of the city Is beginning to resume Its normal aspect, although comparatively few persons are seen in the streets. But In the harbor district all Is ruin and de vastation. Shipping and trade are en tirely at a standstill, and thousands of dock laborers are- waiting round idle. The city continues under strict martial law. Soldiers everywhere cut off all the ceafront portion of the city and there Is scant ceremony In stopping persons not provided with proper permits to en ter these districts. The lamps are not lighted after S o'clock at night and per sons out later run considerable risk from irresponsible soldiers. The consulates, banking houses and public offices are guarded by troops day and night. The social life of the city Is entirely dead. The beautiful Nicholas Boulevard overlooking the harbor, which Is usually thronged with well-dressed people listen ing to the military music. Is now com pletely deserted save for a score of Cos sack and a few officers. The hotels on the boulevard are virtually closed, the visitors having all departed. Only those obtaining special military passes can walk tifi houl-axl which commands a view of the portions of the town desolated by last week's conflagration. In the harbor lie the hulks of a dozen large and small ships burned,' In some Instances to the water's edge. The large warehouses were burned out entirely and there Is scarcely a house or other build ing In the neighborhood that does not bear the marks of fire. It Is Impossible to obtain accurate estimates of the dam age done, but It Is variously estimated at from 15,009.000 to J10.O00.0fO. FIRES OX REBEL CRAFT.

The Prefect of Kustenji permitted a delegation of the mutineers to enter the town and pur chase provisions. The sailors report that the Black.
