Commerce was formed at Macon the

“Whereas, all the interests with
which we have to deal are compactly
organized and the commerciai bod

reached by co-operation, and constant
misunderstandings would be alleviat
ed by conference and discussion on
common ground.
“Therefore this committtee recom
mends the organization of the Geor:
gia Chamber of Commerces to be com
pcsed of representatives of the local
commercia] organizations of the state,

LEESBURG, GA., FRIDAY,JULY 14, 1905.
’ REBEL CREW SURRENDER.
Mutineers Sail Into Roun%nhn Port
' and Haal Down Flag--Vessel
t Returned to Russia.
The flag of Bt. Andrew once again
: floats over the battleship Kniaz Po
temkine and the torpedo boat, which'
;’ have proved such terrork to the Black
sea communities for ‘a couple of
weeks past.
- The formal surrender of the muti
nous crews occurred at Kustenji, Rou
mania, Saturday afternoon after a
series of discussion and negotiations
between the Roumaniian authorities
and the leaders of thé mutineers.
The Roumanian officers who board
ed the battleship on her arrival call
ed upon the crew to surrender, in
which case they would be treated as
foreign deserters or else leave the
port forthwith. - 1 A '
The mutineers wante¢d to be per
mitted to take off the {reasure: which
was on board the Knjaz Potemkine,
but the Roumanian ‘gxthoritiés de
clined to acquiesce. 4
The «Roumanian flag was hoisted
over the Russian vessels as well as
the Russian so as to prevent any
attack on them in Roumanian waters
bv the vessels of the Russian squad
ron.
A later dispatch from Kustenji
notes the arrival of the Black sea
fleet, and says: Admiral Kruger Sun
day afternoon boarded and took pos
session of the Russian battleship
Kniaz Potemkjne, King Charles of
Roumania, having sent instructionsto
the commander of the Roumanian
squadron that the vessel be delivered
to the Russian authorities without
raising difficulties.
The torped> boat, which 'accom
panied the Kniaz Potemkine, left for
; Odessa without surrendering, declar
ing that she had not mutinied, but
that the Kniaz Potemkine haa forced
her to follow.
Admiral Kruger arrived with his
squadron early Sunday morning and
after exchanging the customary sa
lutes, intimated that he had come
to arrarge for the transfer of the
Kniaz Potemkine. The formalities of
the transfer were socon completed and
Admiral Kruger boarded the Kniaz
Potemkine.
All of the sailors wished to sur
render with the exception of Matus
chenko, leader of the mautiny, who
resisted, and wanted to blow up the
ship.
Al] the papers and books belonging
to the vessel were destroyed.
It appears that the decision of the
rebels to surrender the Kniaz Potem
kine was made when it became evi
dent that no other vessels would joia
in the mutiny. The crew of the bat
tleship seemed to be unaware of the
surrender of the Georgi Pobiedonos
etz.
A considerable number of the crew
of the Kniaz Potemkine surrendered
to the Russian squadron, afleging that
they had acted under compulsion.
The coal supply of the mutinous
battleship was nearly exhausted, but
there was ample food on board.
A Russian priest, after transfer,
held a service of purificat™n on board
the Kniaz Potemkine, sprinkling the
vesse]l and her flags with holy water.
Admiral Kruger’s squadron, which
brought a crew for the Knlaz Po
temkine, sailed with her for Russia

- was that of a;revolutionary hero who
had lain neglected in a foreign grave
i for over a hundred years.
[ The ceremony of delivering the
. body was held in the American
} church on the Avenue de I’Alma, at

the Afi?ricun’ squadron. Across the
"aisle sat Préemier Rouvier, with oth
_ers 'members of his cabinet, practi
cally the entire diplomatic corps and
officers of the army and navy. Scores
‘ol American sailors, on either side
0! the altar, gave a fitting background
to the imposing scene.
_ After brief religious services, Gen
eral Porter, according to the French
custom, with the red sash of the
Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor
across his breast, advanced alongsVde
the casket and fformally delivered
‘the body to Mr. Loomis, as the rep

ot the government and commissioned
Admiral Sigsbee to transport it to
the United Btates.

cagket on their shoulders, bore it
