Fully 3800 Russian naval prisoners have been landed. Three damaged Russian vessels have drifted ashore off the coast ofihe province of Nagato. Tokio, June 1. Rough estimates made of the Ruseian losses in the battle fought in the Sea of Japan, exclusive of nearly 4000 prisoners, vary from 7000 to 9000. It is fear ed that the majority perished. Cal culating the complements of tbe sunken and captured snips at uo- wards of 10,000, 7000 remain unac counted for. It is possible that the ships which escaped rescued some of the crews of. the less fortunate ships. ' Many bodies have been washed ashore on the islands and on the shores of the neighboring coasts near the scene of the battle. London, May 31. The Tokio correspondent of the Daily Express reports that tbe cruiser Gromoboi, of the Vladivostok squadron, with nearly 800 men on - board, issued from Vladivostok in the hope of joining the remnant of Rojestven sky's fleet, and that it struck a Jap anese mine and sank with all hands.

An attempt to assassinate King Alfonso was made at midnight, as his majesty drove with President Loubet from a gala performance at the grand opera house. -A bomb was thrown by an anarchist, and exploded with dead ly effect near the royal carriage. As if by a miracle, both the king and the president escaped uninjur ed, but fragments of the missile se riously injured five persons, killed or maimed a number of cavalry horses forming the essort and knocked out a child's eye. The king and president retained their presence of mind, bis majesty send ing back a member of his suite to make inquiries; as to the condition of the woucded;.-vrhe person who is believed ; to : lave thrown the bomb, has been arrested with two others who are thought to be impli cated in the plot. ; King Alfonso and President Lou bet had been cheered along tbe en tire route to the opeia by enthusi astic crowds, the young monarch having completely gained the hearts of Parisians since his arrival here. -; -' - -: ': "'". ' . ' When the king . and President Loubet entered the building, sur rounded by a brilliant, staff and followed by nearly the entire diplo matic corps and superior .officials, the house which . was composed of the elite of French society, rose and cheered, while the orchestra played the Spanish and iFrench national antbemB. At the close of the ; per formance the king and president rosa to leave. v .. Just a few yards before " reaching the Rue Rivoli, a man sprang for wa?d with his arm raised in the air could prevent him, without utter ing a word, threw a projectile in the direction of the royal carriage. At that moment a deafening ex plosion occurred. Cries from the crowd were heard and a scene of in tense excitement began, the crowd surging to and fro. Soldiers were seen to fall, but, as the nasn Horn thejaomb died out, it was observed that the king and the president had not been struck, and their carriage proceeded on its way. The bomb had been thrown with too great force and passed over the royal carriage and struck the shoul der of a cuirassier and then fell to the ground where it exploded, frag ments of it striking the horses of tbe soldiers, causing them to bolt and throw their riders. Captain Schneider, who was rid ing at the side of the carriage, and Captain Gamier, who was on the left, were both thrown. Fragments of the bomb also struck five persons, one horse of the escort was killed outright and six others lay about, maimed and bleeding. ' The lorce of the explosion was terrific and caused a derangement of the electric lights, which were all extinguished, adding daikness to tbe scene of confusion. Women and children screamed, and a panic was for a time ' threatened in the vast throng until the police suc ceeded in restoring order. At 2 o'clock this morning the pre fect of police interrogated the men arrested, who were all young work men, of the ages of 14, 2I and 22. It is not known whether they be longed to the group which organiz ed the outrage. They will be put through a serious interrogation. Meanwhile they are held at the dis position of the police. An anarchist arrested eany ims morning was knowrf by the police to have brought a number of bombs from Spain. Diligent search led to the dlscoverv of all except one of them, which is believed to have been the bomb thrown at the royal carriage. r It was at first reported that all 01 the festivities would be suspended, but it is not thought that such ac tion will be taken. ' ... The author itieB Btopped dispatch esto Spain immediately following the announcement of the explosion The Spanish embassy called the attention of the prefect of police to a huge caricature of King Alfonso exhibited on the Boulevard des Italiena. . The picture was sugges tive of the Kins s matrimonial in tentions, showing him surrounded by pretty women and throwing kis ses to them. The police ordered the caricature to be taken down, which was done against the protest of the proprietor. - N . The minister of the interior, ord; ered the removal of a red flag which waa flying over the Workingmen's exchange, bearing the inscription, "Remember the Victims of Bar- celana." The police hoisted a tri color in place of the revolutionary emblem. Washington, May 31. Tffivstate department has received the follow ing cablegram from Tokio, dated today: "Rojestvensky's skull fractured requiring operation; serious, ' but not dangerous. Total Japanese loo ses up to date, three torpedo boats sunk, three officers killed, about " 200 men killed and dieabled." It is now certain that Admiral Rojestvensky is a prisoner of the Japanese. He is wounded in the forehead, legs and back, ' but will recover. Vice-Admiral Voelkeream is supposed to have perished. Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, May 27. The rains which began three days ago have ceased. General skirmishing has been continuous for the past fortnight. . Arriving troops on leaving the trains, find themselves in a sea of mud. The country in the immediate rear of the Russian army wears the same aspect as did the rear of the old positions which the Russians occu pied in the South, being denuded of forage.. Many of the Chinese fled from their houses, and whei ev er the troops camped these houses were torn down for firewood. Interest in the attitude of the Mongols continues. It is asserted " that a state of rebellion exists . against the local prince ruling the -Eastern tribes. . i ? A few'.native traders with goods -r .-. are arriving at the interior cities from Sinmintin but the only re- xu.aiii;uuiia bj.ui;u laid jura ui muujiu- tin to the Russians is by wayofKi achta, over which traders are al ready active. The defense of the railway is to complete that it practically amounts to a blockhouse system. The foreign naval attaches have been excluded from Vladivostok by order of the government. Headquarters of the Russian Ar my, Godzyadani, Manchuria, May 3o. The army is awaiting with in tenee expectancy news of the out come of the naval battle, which it. is realized will be tbe signal of an opening of a land combat. Every thing indicates that the Japanese are ready to strike a blow, and are waiting only in case the issue at sea is decided unfavorably to them. Following their former tactics, the Japanese are massing heavy artil lery in their center in order to lib erate a main striking force for ac tion on the flanks. A brisk southwest wind is rapid ly drying up the roads, but the barometer is very low.- t Alarmed at General Mistchenko'a v raid, tbe Japanese are hastily forti fying Sinmintin. Gensbu pass, Manchuria, May 3o. The foreposts of General Ka- wamura'e army on the' Japanese right flank,. , pushing forward and , coming into contact with the Rus sian positions, drove in the Russian vanposts for a !bort distance, but the activity is now momentarily suspended. The Russian general staff is shrouding all movements in myste ry and withholding the usual de tails of small affairs. -reports of a naval battle in the Chi na sea are current amoog th9 gen eral staff, where it is expected the outcome will be favorable to the Russians. ' Cuban Diarrhoea. TT. S. soldiers who served in Cuba dur ing the Spanish war know what this dis ease is, and that ordinary remedies have little more effect than so much water. Cuban Diarrhoea is almost as severe ana dangerous as a mild attack of cholera. There is one remedy, nowever, mai. khu. always be depended upon as will be seen. . by the following certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: "I hereby certify that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Uiarrneea .emeay cureu. my husband of a severe attack of Cuban Diarrhoea, which he brought home from Cuba.
