as a surprise, no news of the negdtia

ST. PETERSBURG, June 1. — The
reports of an attack upon Count
Lamsdorff, Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, have their foundation in the per
sonal assault committed on Monday
evening by Prince Dolgorouky, a dis
appointed office seeker. The Prince is
an opponent of Count Lamsdorff's pol
icy and' is said to have become insane
through brooding over his alleged
grievances.
The. Prince met Count Lamsdorff in
the street on Monday evening, and
without warning struck him on the
head with a walking stick. In so do
ing he is said to have calmly announc
ed that he chastised the Foreign Min
ister in the name of the whole Rus
sian people. Police agents rushed to
the scene and seized the Prince, who
immediately handed them a card, say
ing it was a private affair. Neverthe
less he was placed under arrest.
The Emperor is highly indignant
over the episode and has directed an
immediate medical examination of the
Prince in order that it may be legally
determined whether he is sane. If he
is pronounced insane Prince Dolgor
ouky will be placed in an asylum. If
he is responsible for his actions he
will be punished.

A private letter from Liaoyang, dated
May 24, says that on good authority
General Kuropatkin then had 140,000
men ready to take the field.
The War Office does not believe the
report : "from Tokio that a Japanese
division has embarked for Northern
Korea to check an alleged advance of
Lieutenant General , Llnevitch's artny.
A high military official points out that
Linevitch would have to march 300
miles dyer difficult roads and to assure
supplies for that distance before he
could get within striking distance of
the Japanese army.
This authority admits that such a
task is impossible and not worth at
tempting, since it would imperil the
Japanese supplies in Manchuria, ( whlch
are coming by sea. The Japanese are
more likely to reinforce their armies
in Southern Manchuria, on the Liao
tung Peninsula, where it is_. believed
they are concentrating every available
man.
The admiralty attributes the failure
to destroy the crippled cruiser Bogatyr
to the absence of Japanese warships
near Vladivostok. .1
"The Japanese detachment which our
cavalry, successfully engaged on' May

. "On May 30 two camps of Japanese
infantry and thirty dragoons advanced

flank of our outposts. Our scouts dis
covered the movement and fighting en
sued, in the course of which one Cos-
Back was wounded and one horse was
killed. • ', •¦
"All is quiet' in the direction of Feng

."Rear Admirals Wittsoeft and Grlg
orovltch report that up to May 28 num
erous Japanese mines had been discov
ered and exploded in the roadstead of
Port Arthur. The Japanese evidently
have replaced the fire ships, which
they formerly used, by mines, sown by
merchant steamships in their service."
The Emperor has received the follow
ing dispatch from General Kuropatkin,
dated May 31: ' ' -
ST. PETERSBURG; June 1.— An un
confirmed rumor has reached here from
Mukden that the 'Japanese battleship
Fuji is aground on a reef off the Miao
tao islands, between tne Kwantung
and Shantung promontpries, where she
is being guarded by torpedo boats.
The following dispatch from Viceroy
Alexieff to the Emperor, dated May 31,
has been received here:
The correspondent of the Standard at
Tokio announces that non-combatants
are quitting Gensan on account of the
incursions of small parties of Russians
into Northeastern Korea. The situation
there Is not deemed a serious one.
Against these statements must be
placed the official denial, communicated
to the press and already cabled, that
General Kuropatkin would move south
ward.
"A recent council of war decided that
General Kuropatkin should risk an en
gagement. The Empfror deferred to
this Judgment, even going so far as to
authorize the dispatch of troops from
the German frontier to the Far East,
on the ground that as Germany w-as
benevolent she might be trusted safely.
All hopes are centered now in Kuro
patkin, who will make desperate efforts
to save Port Arthur."
No confirmation has yet been re
ceived of the reported heavy fight
ing near Port Arthur or with General
Kuropatkin's army, although the lat
ter is not regarded as improbable.
Rumors persist that court influence
at St. Petersburg is being actively ex
.erclsed "to induce General Kuropat
kin to assume the offensive in an en
deavor by a victory to retrieve the
Russian military reputation. The
Daily Telegraph's St. Petersburg cor
respondent says:
LONDON. June 2. — The Moscow
correspondent of the Times learns that
Harbin is to be fortified speedily
against the contingency of a siege.
Heavy siege guns have left St. Peters
burg already, really intended for Har
bin, and others' will' be sent from
Kronstadt and other first-class fort
resses for the same purpose.
A painful impression has been pro
duced by General Kuropatkin's in
sistence on the necessity of making
timely provision for a retreat to Har
bin.
The Cossacks picked up boots which
had been taken off by the Japanese in
order to facilitate the flight and /lour
itshed them on their lances as trophies.
The Japanese used the Boer trick of
displaying dummies, but the Cossacks

Samsomoff highly praised the practice
of the Russian gunners.
KAICHOU, Liaotung Peninsula.
June 1. — A Russian who was wounded
in the fight near the station at Vagen
fuchu May 30, says General Samsomoff
attacked the Japanese near the . rail
road a mile from Vagenfuchu station.
A cornet of the frontier gur.rds was the
herp of the fight. His sergeant was
lying wounded and a Japanese officer
was about to ride over him when the
cornet unhorsed the Japanese, mounted
the latter's horse and placed the ser
geant on his own charger. .The Jap
anese cavalry engaged was the Thir
teenth Regiment. Its horses were
splendid animals. S
LIAOYANG,: Monday, May 30.— The
Japanese lost 200 killed and a number
of horses in the fight at Vagenfuchu
to-day. The Russians opened fire at 8
o'clock in the morning and after two
hours and a half of long range^ firing
the. Japanese, under General Akklama,
prepared to charge and crush the
force which had been harassing them
for twenty-one days. In the mean
time Oeneral Samsomoff was ap
proaching Vagenfuchu with a strong
force of cavalry.
It was a sight worth seeing, when at
the | word of command the ' Russian
squadrons formed and rushed like a
whirlwind across the terribly .cut up
country, clearing away all obstacles,
the batteries at the same time trotting
along the frightful roads.
Having passed the railroad station,
the. troops came . under "the fire of the
Japanese machine guns, but withdrew
without suffering much loss. The
Fourth and Sixth companies of the
Eighth Siberian Cossacks furiously
charged the Japanese cavalry with
lances, attacking both flanks. In a few
minutes' they literally cut the whole
squadron to* pieces. This was the first
time lances were used and they struck
terror into the enemy. In some cases
the ' lances pierced the riders
through and wounded their horses.
Some of the lances could not be with
drawn from the bodies Into which they
had entered.
The Japanese infantry, numbering
four battalions of 300 men to a com
pany, and eight squadrons at cavalry,
attempted to advance, but the Russian
batteries opened and soon the slope up
which the enemy was advancing was
covered with black spots and the en
emy was forced _to scatter and retire.
Some of the Japanese cavalry were
wonderfully dashing, charging with
shouts upon the Russians, who met and
scattered them. .
A Cossacl who had lost his lance
and sword wrenched a sword from a
Japanese officer and cut off the officer's
head.
"Those Japanese fight well. Shoot
ing is their strong point/but the Cos
sacks' lance charge completely sur
prised them. Many of the Japanese
were ridden down, i Others ceased fir
ing' and.. fled.". . '. . •
MUKDEN/ June 1. — A hospital
train arrived last night with; wounded
from the fighting at Vagenfucho^

their bravery and awarded eight
crosses of; St. George.- Four of those
wounded, at Vagenfuchu_ were left at

to be moved. Some of these have from

and wishrng to avoid here the noto
riety which their riches have given
them in. the East, they passed the fine
hotels and sequestered themselves in
an". unpretentious boarding-house in the
AVest End. They have been seeing the
fair and the city in the bliss of the
community's "ignorance that they are
here. Smi.th said. to-night: ;" •
'•-The stprles .about the money are
true, but it is not true that I have
planned to set the world afire spending
It.** I have begun a quiet enjoyment of
our new \vealth. I have come here
s\ ; ith my. wife and the children and
are' 'seeing the fair. We are plain peo
ple, and have shrunk from putting on
the style- jnit on by other rich people
•at fh.e big-hotels."
The. Smiths are seeing everything.
The head:of the house, is not "blowing
himself," as- Eastern newspapers pre
dicted- he would,, but he is spending
money freely; arid the family is missing
•none of the big show or its auxiliaries.
