WANT JUSTICE
METED OUT
Russia Desires to Make
an Example of the
Kniaz Potemkiue’s
Crew.
THE SHIP SURRENDERS
The Sailors Are Paroled by the
Roumanian Government
and Allowed to Cross
the Frontier.
RIOTS IN THE CAUCASUS
St, Petersburg, July 8.—The admir-
alty late this afternoon was Informed
of the surrender of the Kniaz Po-
temklne to the Roumanian authori-
ties at Kustenjl. but the officials
here have no details of the arrange-
ments made between the Roumanian
government and the mutineers. No
diplomatic steps have been taken,
but the foreign office undoubtedly
will make the strongest representa-
tions against the mutineers bping
treated as simple deserters and .will
demand their surrender to answer
not only for mutiny, but also for the
murder of thjelr officers, for the bom-
bardment of Odessa and for inciting
a revolution. The vainglorious
proclamation issued by the mutineers
at Odessa will also weigh heavily
against them. Their crime is one
which is considered to lie the most
odious by all nations, and it is
thought to bo Imperative that the
strongest justice be meted out to the
ringleaders as an example to the
fleet of Russia and of the whole
world. Rear Admiral Kruger's
squadron will be ordered to continue
Its cruise to Kustenjl, take over the
battleship and place a crew on board.
There Is a strong sentiment mani-
festing itself In favoy of wiping the
name of Kniaz Potemklne from the
navy register and giving the Bhlp a
new name, not recalling her dis-
grace.
On the bourse today there were
rumors that the crew of the battle-
ship Alexander It. had also npitlnea
and wero bombarding Libau, but
there Is not the slightest confirma-
tion of the reffort. The government
believes that the ignominous col-
lapse of the mutiny on the Kniaz
Potemklne will hpve a sedatlvr effect
on the internal unrest which was en-
couraged by the naval revolt.
Situation So Bad That
Publication Thereof la Not Dared.
The situation in the Caucasus is
so bad that the authorities there
dared not publish an official account
of the naval mntiny and the events
at Odessa. There are continual dis-
orders at TlfllB, and the government
is taking measures to distribute arms
and ammunition among the Russian
population of the Caucasus.
At Kieff a non-commlssloncd offi-
cer has been tried by court-martial
and sent to prison for dissemination
of revolutionary literature among
the soldiers.
Serious anti-Semitic riots have oc-
curred In the district around Nizhni
Novgorod. The educated class or
Christians have also been attacked.
The police of MarkariefT are power-
less to stop the excesses there. The
town was jflven over to the mob for
several houre.
Publication of the emperor's reply
to the reactionary deputation headed
by Count Sbermuittef, in which his
majesty addressed the delegates as
"'Gentlemen and brothers," has’ cre-
ated a favorable impression even
among the liberals, as it Js noticed
that the emperor reiterated his
promise to summon an assembly
without discussing the deputation’s
suggestions, looking to a more re-
stricted body than outlined in the
Boulygin propect, and also that his
majesty fatted to comment on their
advocacy of a continuance of the
war.
>mbardment by the
the Japaneee at Chlpivan.
St. Petersburg, July 8—A dispatch
.ted July 7 from General Llaounoff,
mmander of the Russian ttoops on
e island of Sakhalin, says:
"At 9 on the morning of July 7 a
panese squadron approached the
I lags of Chlpivan, about seven
iles southwest of Karsakorsk, ana
iened Are on the shore."
Another dispatch says:
“At 3 p. m. Japanese torpedo boats
iproached Karsakorsk and the Rue-
m batteriea opened Are on them
id compelled the boats to retire,
iring the bombardment four Inhab-
its were killed. The bombard-
ent was anticipated and the com-
andant had ordered the withdraw-
of the defenders northward.”
No further news was received from
ikhalln last night. Operations
:ainst the Russian left at Beiche
„i l-ogushan, reported by General
Inevitch, are apparently in the na-
me of a reconnaissance in force,
ini there are bo indications of a
„n.ra! engagement developing in
anchuria yet. .....
Rumor 'hat General Kuropatkin Is
bout to retire Is revived. General
atjanoff. commander of the third
lanrhurian army, it Is reported, will
e his successor.
Problem Confront*
in the Caucasus,
tersburg, July 8.—The Rus-
irnment is faced with a hard
in the Caucasus. The Asso-
ress correspondent who visit-,
oran. in the extreme south-
corner of the Caucasus,
reports that Persian -bandits are
streaming across the bonier and into
the province of Baku as well as into
Erivan, where, as previously reported,
an order was promulgated yesterday
for the distribution of fifteen hundred
rifles and a supply of cartridges to
Russian settlers In the Terek terri-
tory for their defense against the law-
less mountaineers.
At Tiflis four bombs wore thrown
yesterday. All business life there has
ceased, and the peaceful population is
terror-stricken. News ot bloody col-
lisions between Cossacks and mobs
are expected, *
The commercial activity of Batoum
is also paralyzed, but the removal of
the menacing Kniaz Potemklne may
restore confidence.
Disorders at Vanovovosneznsk, a
large manufacturing center In the gov-
ernment of Vladimir, near Moscow,
are not a new development, but the
climax of a six weeks’ strike which
was marked by other minor excesses.
Workmen are said to'be starving and
desperate but the employers refuse to
make concessions to them.
There have 'been many converts to
the revolutionary propaganda, Which
Is exceedingly active in the govern-
ment of Vladimir, adjoining the pro-
vince of Nijnl Novgorod.
I/ondon, July 8.—The Chronicle’s
Vienna correspondent wires on “ex-
cellent authority" that the reaction-
ary party in St. Petersburg 1s plan-
ning to dethrone the czar and elevate
Grand Duke Michaelovltch or Michael
Alexandrovltch, so as to restrain the
reform party.
Surrenders to the
Authorities of Roumania.
Kustenjl, Roumania, July 8.—Tho
mutinous crew of the Russian battle-
ship Kniaz Potemklne and her eort-
sort rebel torpedo boat, have sur-
rendered to the Roumanian authori-
ties.
They have landed stud are now be-
ing dispatched In small parties to dif-
ferent places in Roumania.
The Rusisang will be conveyed to
the frontier they may select and will
be liberated, the local authorities hav-
ing given a promise ito this effect..
The Roumanian flag has been hoist-
ed over the Russian war vessels, as
well as Russia’s, to prevent any at-
tack on them in Roumanian water by
vessels of the Russian squadron which
is reported to be in pursuit of the
mitineers. 4
Kustenjl Roumania. July 8.—The
mutineers of the Kniaz Potemklne
have offered to surrender as desert-
ers, and the Roumanian authorities
have demanded the breech locks of
the battleship's guns as a pledge of
good faith.
The mutineers offered to present
the battleship to the Roumanian gov-
ernment, as they declare they are
anxious that she should not be bund-
ed over to Rut Isa.
Tlie mutineers 'asked the Rouman-
ian authorities to guarantee tliat they
would furnish the sailors who sur-
rendered wltn Roumanian passports,
and also guarantee that they shall not
be extradited to Russia. The local
authorities are awaiting Instructions,
from Bucharest and in the moantimo
the commander of the port Is prepar-
ing a berth for the battleship.
St. Petersburg, July 9.—(2:21) a. m.)
—The landing of the Japanese on
Sakhalin island and Its probable ef-
fect on the peace negotiations Is the
absorbing topic of conversation in all
circles, the surrender of the Kniaz
Potemklne having taking secondary
place. This move Is generally recog-
nized as an indication that Japan In-
tends to demand the cession of the
island as one (of the conditions or
peace, but this Is no longer an insu-
perable obstacle In the way of a ter-
mination of the war.
Outbreak Among the
Soldiers in St. Petersburg.
Ixmdon, July 9.—A dispatch to a
news agency from St. Petersburg says
that a serious outbreak on the part of
the men of the Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth naval 'battalions occurred to-
day at Krlnkovski barracks in St
Petersburg. Rioters, it 'Is asserted,
broke all the windows, and their offi-
cers were compelled to summon arm-
ed men from the various military
poets.
The dispatch added that a general
strike was decided upon today to com-
mence July Kith, and that a great
meeting Is proposed for July 22nd.

souri river still more rapidly.

New York. July 8,— Ten portion*
were pi'okirail'd ami rendered ttnoon
ficlotiH today by a stroke of lightning
tn Prospect park, Brooklyn. The
tomtit* lawn wab crowded with play-
ers when a sudden thunder .storm
drove them all to shelter. John
Lewis, liia wife and two children, and
James Haithwalte and five member*
of III* family found protection from
the rain under a great, elm, one or
the oldest and finest tree* In the
park. They had scarcely done no
when a, boll Ktruok the tree, split-
ting the trunk down to the roots ana
hurling those beneath it to the
ground, where they lav motion lews
and apparently dead. The spectacle
caused a panic among hundreds of
person* huddled there and under
other tree*, and regardless of the
torrent* of rain all fled toward the
nearest exits from the park.
Ambulances were soon on the
spot, and the Injured person* were
restored to consciousness. Borne of
them were found to be severely
burned, and all were Buffering great-
ly from the effects of the shock Two

New York. July 8.—-Artful, the 8-
year-old daughter of the groat. Ham-
burg, galloping in front of her field
from the start and easing up at tho
finish, carried tho colors of the Whit-
ney stable to victory today in the
Brighton handicap, the richest all-
aged purse of the racing year. A
length and a half back of the win-
ner canto the stout-hearted Ort
Wells, winner of the Brighton mile,
and a slight, favorite for tho handi-
cap Eight length* further hack tho
great mare, Beldame, beaten more
decisively than in almost any race
of her career, came home in third
place, thoroughly done. Trailing
along In the ruck were Monsieur
Beattoaire, Dolly Spanker, Atlbell
and Delhi.
25,000 Packed Within the
Narrow Limits of the Track.
Fully 25,000 persons wero packed
within the narrow limits of the
Brighton Beach track, and the en-
thusiastic manner In which they
cheered Artful's splendid victory In-
dicated that the great hulk of the
public's money had been placed on
the chance* of the /Whitney candi-
date. The afternoon was showery,
and by tho lime the handicap, the
fourth race on tile card, was started,
tlie ground had begun to be stocky.
Artful galloped the mile and a quar-
ter in 2:04 4-5, an.excellent perform-
ance under the conditions. By her
victory today Artful won the title of
the champion filly of the year.
Throughout tho betting today,
which was heavy at all times, there
was hardly a point's difference in the
(putting of prices on Artful and Ort
Wells. At the beginning some hooks
marked up 7 to 5 against Ort Wells,
8 to 5 against Artful, 4 against. Bel-
dame, with liberal odds against the
other iitartera. The prices generally
rose throughout tlie ring.
At the close Ort Well* was a
slight, favorite at 2 to I. Artful was
to be Imd at 11 to 5, while Beldame’s
