RUSSIA'S INTERNAL TROUBLE.

[By Electric Telegkavh.—Copyright.]

(Per Press Association.)

Received July 10, at 10.27 p.m. St. Petersburg, July 10,

Torpedoer No. 267 has returned to Russia, those on board declaring that they did not mutiny, but were compelled to follow the Kniaz Potemkin.

Matuschcnko, the ringleader of the mutiny, instead of surrendering, wished to blow up the Kniaz Potemkin. There arc bloodstains everywhere about the vessel. The cabins were pillaged. Seven officers kept aboard as prisoners were in a pitiable condition, the result of ill-treatment. They declared that Matuschenko himself killed ten olficcis. The mutineers, with revolvers, compelled two engineers and an otlicer to navigate. The ammunition aboard would suffice to enable the Kniaz Potemkin to hold her own in a. great engagement. The Consuls at Odessa were greatly relieved when Admiral Kruger, with two battleships, four torpedoers and a destroyer, arrived at Ivusteilji. He exchanged salutes with the Roumanian cruiser Elisabeta, and claimed the possession of the Kniaz Potemkin. The commander replied that King Charles had ordered her transfer to Russia, which was effected ail hour later, after a Russian priest bad held a service of purification for murder and j rebellion. Received July 10, at 11.10 p.m. St. Petersburg, July 10. Twenty of the Kniaz Potemkin's married sailors have asked the Russian Consul at Kustenji to repatriate them. Tho remainder remain in Roumania. The surrender was duo to tho other ships not joining the mutiny. Serious outbreaks have occurred amongst the 15th and 14th naval battalions at Krimvoski barracks, St. Petersburg. Everything inside the barracks was wrecked. Anti-Semite riots have taken place in the Makariev and Nijni Novgorod districts. Reservists have organised disturbances in Chenasky. Received July 10, at 11.45 p.m. Bucharest, July 10. One hundred of the Kniaz Potemkin's crew rely on an amnesty, saying they were coerced to mutiny. Received July 10, at 11.58 p.m. St. Petersburg, July 10. The Liberals arc pleased with the official and lengthy reports of the speeches at the Czar's reception of the reactionary nobles, clearly unveiling the deputation's aims and tactics. Besides the importance of the reform movement, tho Liberals emphasise that the Czar reiterates his promises, and admits that ho is learning the lessons of experience.
