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.

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

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.

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.

CRONSTADT. July 3. The crew of the
Russian cruiser Minine refused to put

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

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.

Interest in the effort to municipalize
the Chicago traction lines.
Mayor Dunne. Is grooming the
Cleveland man for the Presidency and.
It Is understood, hopes to deliver him
the Illinois delegation. Johnson has
been actively pushing the 3-cent fare
and other traction and railroad the- j
orles to the fore for several years In ;
face, since he retired from the street t
railway business but he has hereto- ;
fore confined the advancement of these I
Ideas to Ohio, where he has repeatedly .
sought to dominate the Democratic i
party. He was partly successful in
forcing these Issues Into the platform !
adopted In Ohio last week.
Johnson has been to Chicago twice ;
since Dunne took his office, and Dunne
conferred with him once in Cleveland. '
It was Johnson who blocked the nego- ;
tint inn with the traction interests for
a sale of the existing lines. Dunne
had practically agreed with the trac

of the proposition that should be made
to the Council transportation commit

When they returned they found that
Johnson had been In Chicago and had
