lure. hearing Karl Kitchener and
party on a projected trip to Russia,
as sunk at 8 o'clock last night west
of h- Orknoy Islands, ofr the north
tcaft of Scotland. So far as known
tl ere was no survivor.
Whether the vessel was the victim
of i torpedo or a mine has not been
determined and, elnce It is believed
twit no one nliourd waj, saved, thp an
nrr to this question . may never be
known Tho Hampshire went down In
(ictp water.
News of the loss of the Hampshire
w.th the Secretary for War. the mem
Ure of his party and the olllcers and
men of the cruiser vv.is received at the
Aomirslty in the following: despatch
Horn Admiral Sir John Jelllcoe, com
manding the Hritlh Grand Fleet:
1 have to report with deep regret
t..at his MaJtstyV ship Hampshire,
t-apt. Herbert J. Savlll, R. X., with
l.oi d Kitchener and !i!b staff on
tj.ird, was sunk last night at about
b o'clock to the west of the Orkneys,
a.thcr by a mine or a torpedo.
Four bouts were seen by Observers
en shore to leave the ship. The
v.,nd was north northwest and heavy
ns were running, pjtrol vessels '
H J destroyers at once proceeded to
tile spot and a pany was sent along
tee coast to search, but only some
bodies and a capsized boat have been
found up to the present. As the
whole shore has been searched from
the seaward, I greatly fear that there
it. little hope of there being any sur
vivor. No report has yet been received
from the search pnrty on shore.
Wan on Way to Ilnaala,
An official statement Issued this eve
ning says that the Hampshire was on
he way to Russia nnd that Knrl Kitch
ener was to have discussed Impor
tant military and financial questions
with Emperor Xlcholas.
The shock of the news was the more
Were In London because It was not
ticn known that Lord Kitchener was
punning to visit Kussin or tlut he had
left London. In the absence of olllclal
ord as to whether the Hampshire was
link by a mine or a torpedo the man
In the street Is convinced that a tor
polo from n German submarine sank
the vessel. Naval officers while await
ing further details are sceptical of
this because of the speed of the Hamp
shire, nearly 52H knots, and the heavy
tea which was running at the time.
Tliey are Inclined to nttribtite the loss
of the cruiser to n mine, Tho normal
complement of tho Hampshire was 655
ethcers and men.
Lord Kitchener had made frequent
tr'ps ahroad since the outbreak of the
war He made one trip to tho Dar
danelles last fall and went to Franco
frequently.
The official press bureau announced
to-night that a memorial service will
1 held for Lord Kitchener at St.

An army order was Issued to-night

Special Cablt Pmpauh to Tim 9i v.
London, June 6. The Russian War
Office to-night reports that the nuvv
offensive along the 250 mile front of the
Austro-Hungarians ha thus far resulted
In the capture of 480 officers nnd 26,000
men, twenty-seven guns and fifty
machine guns.
Vienna officially admits that the Aus.
Ltrlans were compelled to withdraw their
lines north of okna to positions "pre
pared a little more than three miles to
the south." This means that the first
effective Impress of the new Husslnn
drive has been made at the tactically and
politically most vital jiolnt of the front
under attack, Just north of the nuko-wlna-ncssarabta
border. If the Rus
sian success Is followed up, Ciernowlti,
the Hukowlna capital, Is once more serl.
ously threatered, nnd an Invasion of the
Oallcian crownland would go far toward
uchlcvlng the chief political aim of the
new offensive, the entry of Tlumftnla on
the Allies' side,
All along the front a violent battle
rages. The Austrian War Office empha
sizes that the Russian forces are "con
tlnuilly becoming stronger" betweiei
Mlynow, on the Ikwa, and the area
northwest of Olyka. It Is at this latter
point that the Russian line forms u
salient In the Austrian front, the heal
of which points straight at the Volhynlan
fortress of Lutzk.
Attacks I nc reuse In Vmrr.
Roth here and on the Hukowlna the
Russians seem determined to break
through. Thus far the Austrian line
seems intact, hut the fury of the Rus
sian assaults Is Inrfeaslng hourly. The
Austrian statement asserts that the Rus
sians are losing heavily, In one region
a battalion l."n" men having lost 3T.0
men In killed, The Russian official late
ment follows ;
W'e captUK'd 4S0 officers, 25,000
men, twenty-seven guns nnd fifty ma
chine guns.
The Austrian War Officii report fol
lows The battle n the northeast front
continued on the hole front of 21ft
miles -vlth undiminished stubbornness.
E3
North of Okna, after stiff and fluctuat
ing battles, we withdrew our shatteied
first positions to the line piepared
live kilometers to the south.
Near Jurlowlec. on the lower Strp.t,
the enemy to-day attacked nftei ar
tillery preparation. He was cverj
where repulstd, at somu place. In

At the same time a strong Russian
attack west of Tteinbowhi (soutli of
Tarnopol) broke down under our gun
lire. West-northwmt of Tarnopol there
was bitter lighting, Wherever the
enemy gained advantages be was
driven out
On one front occupied by one bat
talion there were 350 Russian corpses.
Near Sopanow (southean of Iiulmo)
there -were numerous attacks by the
enemy, with unimportant results,
Between Mlynow, on the Ikwa, and
the regions northwest of Oljkn, where
the Russians nre continually becoming

The Aostro-Hungarlan forces oppwlng

A despatch from Holla ml says that
Kleld Marshal von Hlndenbuig, tlie Herman-commander
In northwestern Russia,

I'etrogrnd advices Indicate thai the
Russian offensive against I ho Aiistrlans
was a complete Hiirpiisu In the Russian
public nnd Infer that It was eipuilly un
expected in Austria. The Austrian fotces
had been reduced for (he attack ou the
Italians. The number of Certnan troops
sent to aid the Austrlnus, It Is stated, is
thus far limited tn two divisions.

.S'iibml,v In Chicago has been author-m-d
ns yet to announce what col
Roosevelt's attitude will be toward the
action of the Progressive convention
but his closest friends wejo saying
positive!) he will not accept smli u
nomination. The action of the Pro
gressive delegates in running avvny
from the control of llcorgo W. Perkins
nnd other Progressive leaders was tho
most Important development m the
general situation.
On the Republican side of th fer'e
Justice Hughes was still leading th
field, with his opponent conceding him
270 votes nnd the Hughes m.inageis
claiming nt least 3.10 m the first ballot.
The favorite smis, aided by several of
the old lino leaders, who nre Intent upon
heading off the Hughes movement, made
a frantic effort to-diy to get together an I
pool their strength for on of their
number against the Jurist Hut on thl

On the eve of the assembling of the
convention, the Hist session lielng srhed.

the favotlte sons were contending tin

on some one candidate tlie drift Is prepv
rertaln to be toward the Justice aft.

some of the old time leaders bellcie ha
will lie no minute I b) the third ballot at
least.
The feeling among patty leaders la
that the Republican nomination will h.
won by Justice Hughes or l'.IIIiu Root or
Senator Harding of Ohio. If the llughe'i
strength disintegrates It Is llkelv to go
either to .Mr. Itoot or Senator Harding
A strong effort was put forth to-day in
the Interest of both of these men. but
It was acknowledged that little headway
had been made for them.
A remarkable situation has developed
at Chicago. The ao-called Old Huarrt
leaders want neither Hughes nor Roose
lelt. Some of them, though, nre looking
wltli greater favor upon Col. Roosevelt
than they are upon the Justice because
they believe the otganlzatlon would re
ceive better treatment nt Mr. Roosevelt's
hands.
Rut the fact of the matter Is that the
old time leaders cannot deliver the Re
