RUSSIAN ADMIRAL TAKES POS
SESSION OF KNIAZ POTEMKINE.
' Decks and Cabins Show State of
Wild Disorder, With Blood Stains
Everywhere Leader of Mutiny
Kills Ten Officers.
1 Kustenji, Roumania, July 10. Ad
miral Kruger boarded and took pos
session of the Russian battleship
Knlaz Potemklnc, King Charles of
Roumanla having sent instructions
to the commander of the Roumanian
equadron that the vessel be delivered
to the Russian authorities without
raising difficulties,
j, The torpedo boat which accompa-
nlcd the Kninz Potemklne, however,
left for Odessa without surrendering,
declaring that she had not mutinied,
but that the Knlaz Potemklne had
forced her to follow.
Admiral Kruger arrived with his
equadron and after exchang.'ng the
customary salutes, Intimated that ho
had come to arrange for the transfer
r Ur. Inloif Rnlnmllno Ailmlrfll
Ui IUC J....I.X. t. wv......... --.
Koslinsky, commander of the Rou-I
manian squadron, boarded the Rus-i
elan battleship Tchesme and informed j
Admiral Kruger that King Charles
had ordered him to turn tho vessel
f' over to the Russian admiral. Tho
formalities of the transfer were com-'
pletcd and Admiral Kruger boarded
the Knlaz Potemklne.
The Associated Press representa
tive inspected tho Knlaz Potemklnc
after tho withdrawal of the Rou
manian guard. Despite the efforts of
the Roumanians to get things in ship
shape, everything aboard the battle
ship was still in a state of wild dis
order. Tho officers' cabins wero
stripped of everything of any value
and bloodstains were everywhere.
There was sufficient ammunition
aboard the Knlaz Potemklne to have
enabled the mutineers to make a des
perate resistance.
It Is said that during the last few
days the vessel was navigated by two
engineers nnd an officer with re
volvers at their heads. All of tho
Bailors wished to surrender with tho
exception of Matuschenko. tho leader
of the mutiny, who resisted for some
tlmo nnd wanted to blow up the ship.
Seven officers were prisoners aboard
the Kniaz Potemklne. They were in
a pitiable condition from 111 treat
ment. They declare that Matus
chenko himself killed ten ofneers of
the battleship.
All the papers and books belong-
lag to the "vessel worn destroyed.
It appears thnt the deeislo;i to sur
render the Knlaz l'otemklno was
made when It became evident that no
other vessels would join in the mu
tiny. The crew of the battleship
seemed to be unaware of the surren
der of the Georgl Pobledonosetz and
expected that she also was coming to
Kustcnjl to capitulate to Roumnnla.
Twenty married sailors from tho
Knlaz Potemklne have applied to tho
Busslnn consul here to be sent back
to Russia.
A number of tho crew of the
Knlaz Potemklnc surrendered to tho
Russian squadron, alleging that they
acted under compulsion.

Toklo, July 11. Tho following re
port has been received from the Japa
nese army headquarters on Sakhalin

and retired to positions eight miles
north, whero they resumed resistance.

enemy had retreated to a point twenty-two
miles north of Korasakorsk.
Wo captured two twelve-centimeter
guns, two twelve-pounders and also an
amount of ammunition. Wo suffered
no loss."
The announcement of the landing
of a Jaranesc force at Sakhalin island
and the occupation of Korasakorsk,
followed by the northern flight of the
garrison, has been received with great
satisfaction by tho Japanese. The
landing of the army at Sakhalin
marks the first entry of the Japanese
upon Russian territory proper. Tho
Japanese havo expressed themselves
pleased to be again in possession of
tho island, declaring that they have
long felt that the bargain under
which they relinquished the place for
ty years ago was unsatisfactory. The
Japanese express belief that they will
speedily control tho entire island, as
they regard tho garrison there as be
ing incapablo of serious resistance
and arc confident that it will certainly
be captured.

and that later ho represented that he
had pledged his entire fortune, every
dollar ho had, and his business In this
banking enterprise and thnt his sub
scriptions would exceed a million dol
lars, tho inspectors found that Mr.
Lewis had not co-operated to the ex
tent of a single dollar of his own
money, although tho bank had been
In operation seven months and had a
paid up capital stock of $2,000,000."
