June "L A semi-official version of the bomb explosion given today, in creases the gravity of the affair and shows the narrowness of the escape ora both King Alfonso and President Loubet. The left panel of the carriage, which was Ihe side M. Loubet occupied, has five perforations. A footman, who was sitting on the left side of the vehicle, received a splinter in the thigh, and both horses ot the carriage were injured. The horses of one of the Republican Guards, belonging to the escort, received the full force of the charge In his chest, thus averting it from the two rulers. The front of the Louvre, facing the Rue de Rlvoll, showed three distinct traces of the projectile. The violence of the explosion was so great that particles of the bomb about the size of -nuts were found in remote portions of the roof of the Louvre. The pavement where the missile struck was blackened and rent, and under the direction of the police, a square yard of the burned paving block was removed for the purpose of beln& 4 used In the Investigations at the rnunlcl- " $al laboratory. The wounded now reach 15, including a Tnomber of the Mexican Chamber of Dep uties, Fernando Roblno. Police Have Found Assassin. M. Mouquln, chief of the Secret Service, announces positively that the perpetrator of the crime is known, and that the police ore. In possession of all the details of the plot and the facts leading up to It. The police believe that the band of Spanish anarchists arrested here May 26 were engaged In the plot. One member of the band escaped and It is believed he was the real perpetrator of last night's outrage. Magistrates have searched for incrim inating documents at the residence of the Spanish anarchist Malato, who was ar rested but refused to reply to questions without legal advice. Another Spaniard named Vollna, when questioned, declared he had been In Paris for a month with several companions preparing for an at tempt on King Alfonso's life. They had received five uncharged bombs from Barcelona, he said, which were hidden In the Bols Vlroflay in order to escape police investigations. The prisoner prom ised to fchow tomorrow where they were hidden. His three companions have been arrested. During the early hours the suspects arrested Immediately after the explosion were further Interrogated, and the police later announced that the main suspicion appeared to attach to a young man named Arsene Arnould, who Is held on the evi dence of a woman -who alleged that she j noticed him lighting a supposed .fuse. Arnould, who is- employed as a labora tory attendant and resides in Paris, is Buffering from a wounded eye. The rvoman who gavo thelnformation bgalnst Arnould is herself under surveil lance for posslblo complicity In the out rage. The plot is said to have been planned In a hotel near, the scene of the explo sion. A member of the gang of Spanish an archists arrested, has denounced a com patriot named Mona, as the author of the outrage on King Alfonso. The police pos sess a description of Mona and are irfik ing inquiries regarding him. King's Pleasure Not Spoiled. King Alfonso today continued to en Joy the festivities which France had pre pared In his honor, apparently undis mayed by the anarchistic attempt on his life. Accompanied by President Loubet, the King left Paris at 8:30 A, M.. for the camp at Chalons-sur-Marne, to review the troops of the Sixth Army Corps. Every where ho was the redolent of tremendous ovations, as yesterday's outrage evoked a national sentiment of affection and eympathy for the young monarch, and universal reprobation for the attempt on his life. The King arose early and made anx ious Inquiries concerning the condition of the persons wounded by the explosion of the bomb, and was assured that they avere all alive, which relieved him, as the first report was that one policeman had died from his wounds. The King discussed the event with the French of llcers attached to his suite and did not display any apprehension of further dan- President Loubet escorted by a troop Of culrassleurs, arrived at the d'Orsay Palace later and held a brief interview with the King. The party then proceed ed to the Invalldes railroad station, where a special conveyed them to the -corps maneuvers at Chalons. Rigid police measures were in force Jilong the route followed by the young rnonarch. The crowds cheered the King, fwho saluted In reply. On arriving at the Jleld of maneuvers, the King, wearing the uniform of a Field Marshal and mounted on a superb bay, rode before the troops. President Loubet accompany ing him in a carriage. The superb mili tary spectacle began with a sham bat tle Acclaimed by Cheering: Thrones. An enthusiastic reception was accorded the King and President on their return "Srom the review. Premier Rouvler. Min ister of the Interior Etlenne and Minister of Public Instruction Martin waited at Khs station and congratulated his Majesty fcn his escape. The route from" the rail way terminus to the quarters of the royal truest, which led through the center of Paris, was packed with dense throngs which cheered uninterruptedly. The ac clamation were renewed when later King lAlfonso proceeded to the Elysee Palace, where President Loubet gave a garden party, which was attended by the diplo matic corps, the cabinet ministers and leading officials. His Majesty greatly admired the grounds of the palace, which were decorated with flowers and illumin ated by 10,050 electric lamps, and remained there until midnight. Cheering crowds still filled the streets when he returned to the Palace d'Orsay. King Alfonso has announced his inten tion of awarding the Spanish medal for military merit to the officers and soldiers who were wounded or thrown from their horses owing to the explosion. Getting- Used to Being Shot At. At the time of .the explosion, the King, notloing a momentary confusion among the escort, calmed them by saying: "Reassure yourselves, gentlemen. This Is nothing." Afterward the King told M. Loubet that this was the fourth providential escape from an attempt on his life. It Is understood that the King received a telegram from Emperer "William felici tating him on his escape from assassina tion last night During the day members of the diplo- matle Mrn raUfA at the d'Orsav Palace and expressed the regreta ot many coun tries. .

Teamaters Leaden Make Cbnrtrea Agatast Employer, Bat Are TjhttIU Ibk to Tcntlfy Ik Detail. CHICAGO, June 1. Charges of bri bery against an official of the Em ployers' Teaming Company were made today to the grand Jury by President Shea, ofthe Teamsters' Union, and by -rwuci l xuuuk, luraer president ot toe same organization. Young and Shea claim that they were offered $10,000 two years ago to bring about a strike of the teamsters employed by Scars, Roebuck & Co., a rival of Montgomery Ward & Co. Tney said they refused me money ana tne striKe was never called. Shea was the first witness, and bis testimony covered the offering of the bribe and his statement that he would not call the strike "for 5100,000." Toung was then called and gave similar test! mony. After leaving the Juryroom Young made statements to the newspaper re porters, going more into detail than those he had made before the Jury. He was again subpenaed and brought berore the Jury a second time. He re fused to tell nvhere the meeting had taken place, or to name the men who were present when the $10,000 was said to have been offered. Young declined to give any good reasons for refusing the Information and was taken before Judge Barnes. "On what grounds 'do you decline to answer these questions?" demanded the court- "On the ground that I might Incrim inate myself," replied Young. Do you honestly believe that by in forming the Jury of the place of meet ing, a well as disclosing the Identity of the two men, that those answers would Incriminate you?" asked the court "Yes, I do," said Young. The Judge then asked a number of questions and finally decided that Young would not incriminate himself, nnd he ordered him to make answers forthwith. Young and the members of the Jury then returned to the Juryroom and he was QMestioncd for an hour. He gave the n-mes of the men offering the money, but refused, after leaving the Juryroom, to discuss what had taken place. Other witnesses before the grand Jury today were tne proprietors of sev eral hotels, who declared that commit tees from the strikers had called upon them and demanded that they force nonunion men to leave. Other evidence was given by business men relating to various meetings held with the labor leaders, but nothing of importance was developed. The officers of the Teamowncrs As sociatlon stated today that they had become tired of waiting for the team sters to come to a decision on the mat ters, and that it made little difference what the teamsters decided to do, aa the association had come to the conclu sion that it would make deliveries to all firms regardless of whether it would. be Involved in the strike or not Should the teamowncrs take this step against the wishes of the- teamsters, it will mean a spread of the strike.

Admiral 'Togo's sup plementary report which reached the Navy Department this -afternoon, makes the Russian defeat a staggering disaster unequaled-ln naval history. Practically every fighting -ship of a once splendid fleet was either sunk or -captured, repre senting a loss of tonnage exceeding 150.090 tons. The remaining units ot tho fleet. consisting largely of auxiliaries and transports, have been dispersed, some go ing to Vladivostok, others to the China coast. Admiral Rojestvensky, gravely wounded, occupies a cot In ,& Japanese hospital, a prisoner of war. Tokio, astounded and elated at the first measure of victory, seems to be unable to grasp clearly the still greater triumph that Admiral Togo brings to the nation. Before the combat a partial victory with operations around Vladivostok during the Summer was generally expected. None dreamed of annihilating the enemy at the first meeting. Late reports indicate that the fighting was of the most desperate nature. On Saturday and Sunday there were persist ent torpedo attacks following heavy gun fighting. Admiral Rojestvensky appears to have been hopelessly outclassed in gun nery. It is reported that it was necessary for Admiral Rojestvensky to change his flagship five times during the battle. He finally took refuge on the torpedo-boat destroyer where he was captured. Admiral Togo's later dispatch given to the public early this evening created the highest enthusiasm. High officers of the Army and prominent officials hurried to the Navy Department and offered con gratulations. The entire staff of the Bank of Japan, headed by a band, marched to the Navy Department and cheered in honor of the victory.

The Ta shlma was one of the finest battleships of the Japanese navy.

June 1. The Tokio corre spondent of the Dally Express sends a story of the battle told by an officer of the battleship Borodino, who Is now at Sasebo. The officer says: "Admiral Rojestvensky came on board early In the battle and directed the fight ing from the Borodino's flying bridge. At 3 o'clock the Japanese battleships Shi klshlma and Fuji opened every gun on us. A projectile struck the forward bar bette. In which I had charge of a 12-lnch gun, and this rendered us ait Insensible. "I groped out of the smoke-filled bar bette to the deck and found there a rain of projectiles. Dozens were lying dead or wounded at every turn. I re turned to the barbette, but was only able to Are two" shots when two projectiles struck us simultaneously, wrecked the barbette, disabled both the 12-lnch guns and killed IS officers and men." The officer proceeds to describe how the Borodino now became a veritable shambles, successive shells destroying the steering gear and ammunition hoists so that the shells had to be carried by hand. Admiral Rojestvensky was Injured and transferred to a destroyer and. as the destroyer left, she was assaulted by a hail of small ammunition. "It was not 4 o'clock," the officer con tinued. "The Borodino bad been re peatedly struck In the helm and was set tling down with no hope of saving her.

"Toward evening, after we had lost 40) men, we noticed two Japanese de stroyers coming toward us. "We sank one with a well-directed shell. The other launched a torpedo which missed us. All the men in the engine-rooms were driven on deck by the flames. Finally a Japa nese torpedo flotilla bore down upon us and an explosion caused the Borodino to turn turtle.

TOKIO, June L Rough estimates made of the Russian losses In the battle fought in the Sea. of Japan, exclusive of nearly 4003 prisoners, vary from 7000 to 9000. It is feared that the majority perished. Cal culating the complements of the sunken and captured ships at upwards of 10.000. 7000 remain unaccounted for.
