PARIS, Fraxce, June 13.—The race meeting at Longchamps to-day, at which the Grand Prix de Paris race was run, rnished an occasion for an attempt to sassinate President Faure, who fortu- nately escaped without the slightest in- jury. The sweltering heat didn’t prevent large crowds from assembling along the Toute to Longehamps to see the briliiant e ages and their fashionable occupants v drove to the course. There was 8lso a Jarge crowd in the Bois de Bou-| lozne, in which the track is located. he landan in which Faure was rid- & was passing the cascade at the end of the Bois de Boulogne a man in the crowd threw a bomb at the carriage. The deto- nation was loud, but it was first supposec that 2 madman had fired a blank shot. Immediately thereafter, however, there was a shower of nails and scraps of metal, hile the air was filled with an evil odor. No damage was done to the President’s which proceeded without stop- No one was in any wise injured. Favre prid no heed tothe explosion, pro- | ceeding directly to the race course. There he went immediately to the President’s | box on the grandstand ard faced the peo- | ple, who acclaimed him enthusiastically. | In the meantime there was tremendous excitement at the scene of the outrage. A crowd seized a man supposed to be the omb-thrower and belabored him with s, stonmes, kicks and cuffs. Finally dazed and bieeding man was taken o custody by gendarmes. They learned he was a detective in plain clothes, who had been assigned to the special duty of otecting the President. The detective was near Faure’s carriage when the bomb was thrown. He immediately dashed into an adjacent wood after the man he cuspected had thrown the bomb. He failed to catch him, however, and af once returned to the scene of the explosion. v picking up the remains of the bomb the crowd attacked him, mistaking bim for the criminal. The unfortunate victim of the crowd’s fury was taken to the hos- | pital. The police then searched They found almost intact twenty centimeters long and meters in diameter. old as t ng. the the place. a cylinder | ten centi- ‘Lney also found an istol, a dagger and a scrap of paper which was inscribed: “Tue execution of Felix Faure.” Many arrests wers made of persons in bomb-thrower the vicinity, but they were released for lack of evidence. Grand Duke Sergius of Russia was in the paddock. When he learned outrage he went to the President’s box and warmiy congratulated him on his es- cape. Major Meaux Saint-Marc, one of the personal attaches of the President, who was in the landau beside Faure, says those in the carriage undoubtedly had a narrow escape. The bomb feli close to the carriage and there was a Joud explosion, after which the air was filled with suffocat- ing fumes. ‘he newspapers published special edi- tions, giving all known details of the affair. The news of the attempted assassi- nation quickly spread throughout Paris. Vast crowds gave the President a splen- did ovation as he was returning after the races to the Palace Elysee. - . |TWO YOUTHS DETAINED.

Splendid Street Pageant of Civic and Relizious Organ- izations. THOUSANDS AT THE OLD TOWN, QUAINT Hospitality as in the Old Padre Days Is Lavished on the Mission's Visitors. Historic old Mission San Jose cele- brated its centennial anniversary y day with civic and marial pageautry, with solemn and impressive religious ceremony and with a prodigal hospitality that even the padresof a century ago need not have been ashamed of. The quaint old town, which has slept peacefally amid surroundiag acres of prolific vines, from the viutage of whose grapes Mission San Jose has become localiy famous, roused itself yesterday from its repose and celebrated the cloee of its century of er- | existence on a scale of grandeur that would put many a more populous town to shame. The celebration was a brilliant success, looked at from any point of view. Thanks to the zeal and forethought of Secretary A. L. Sunderer, the secretary of the commit- tee of arrangements, ample transporta- tion facilities were offered, both by train | to Irvington and by vehicle theuce to Mis- sion San Jose. | youths, aged 16 and 19, believed to be| | brothers named Galiet, were detained by | the police. One ot them was seen to drop | a revolver nearthe scens. He had pre- viously been acting as though he was de- mented. He is a Socialist. Whoever committed the crime had sev- eral accomplices, who were the first to at- tack the detective, whose name is- Rous- | taux, and by this means covered the es- | care of the real culprit. The political po- lice will search the lodgings of all persons | suspected of being anarchists. H | When the bomb exploded Faure did not | dispiay the slightest trace of excitement. Mme. Faure was in the landau with bim. He smillingly reassured her. Mlie. | Lucie Faure, daughter of the President, was ina landau following her father. She | displayed bravery equal to that of Faure | |and kissed her hand to the cheering crowd. | Messages have been received from dif. | ferent sovereigns conveying congratula- tions upon Faure’s escape. | | | | APPEAL OF 7HE SULTAN, | Askn the Czar ana Emperor to Support i Him wn Annewing Thessaly | CONSTANTINOPLE, Turkey, June 13 | —The.

Then a Daring American Ves-| sel Escapes Safely From Pursuit. One of the Rapld-Fire Guns Sent Ashore Successfully Turned on the Spanlards. KEY WEST, Fra., June 13.—News has been received of a sharp fight over the landing of an American filibustering expe- dition last week at the mouth of the River Agubama, Santa Clara province, on Cuba’s sontbern seacoast. The Spanish coast- guard sighted a vessel coming in and sent for re-enforcements. The Cuban force attacked and routed the coast guard. Afterward it ambusned and defeated the re-enforcements. Under the protection of this friendly force the filibuster anchored. As the vessel was unloading s Spanish gunboat from the direction of Trinidad came ulong and began firing shells at long range, the shoal water not permitting the vessel to come close to land. Though tI | shells were falling around her, the Ame! | can vessel proceeded with the unloading. | When this was completed she took the | inside channel and ran out to sea, pur- { suel by the gunboat, firing alt the while. It is reported that one shell took effect on the filibuster vessel, carrying away her | smokestack, but she succeeded in escap- ing. The gunboat returned afterward and sent three boatloads of marines 10 secure | some of the cargo. The Cubans, mounting one of th rapid-firing guns that h:d just | arrived fired at the marines’ boats, sinking two and forcing the other to return to the gunboat. It is said that fifteen soldiers were drowned or killed by the insurgents’ fire. | The gunboat afterward shelled the shore | over an hour, but failed to prevent the Cubans taking the THOSE PULITICAL REFORMS, Spain Now in a Hurry to Put Them in Operarion. WASHINGTON, D. C, June 14.—Official i been received that Spain is about to put into cperation the political reforms promised for Cuba by the Queen Regent. The reform scheme guaraniees practically similar to Canaas. It pro- vides for a legislative assembly composed of members elected directly by the people and by a number of conservative corpora- tions, most of them aevoted to charitable purposes. The legislators elected directly by the people are to form a majority. Secretary Sherman is said to favor the Spanish proposals, but President McKin. ley bas not indorsed it. The present criti- cel aspect of Cuban affairs has caused the Madrid Ministry to prepare to execute to the Cubans a system of government | the reforms with the least possible delay. The Spanish authorities believe the ene- mies of autonomy hope to force the | United States to interfere before the re- | forms can be inaugurated. The Spanish Minister intimated that the Havana re- | port that Riveraand his chief of staff | | Bacallo, had been sentenced to death was an attempt to precipitat- a crisis. The Minister said he cabled to Madrid, and | had received an official tele:ram denying | the report absolntely. The dispatch said that Rivera and Bacallo had not been sen- | tenced to be shot, and they would not be put co death under any circumstances, The Navy Department has telegraphed orders to the commander of the gunboat Wilmington at Jacksonville to locate and frustrate a big filibustering expedition re- ported in preparation at some point on the east coast of Florida. | —_— WAR FIEECELY WAGED, Many Spaniards Slain in Batiles With the Insurgents. | HAVANA, Cusa, June 13.—The war is | being fiercely waged in Pinar del Rio province.

And the barbecue—what a grand affair it was! Senor Juan Galiegos opened his beautiful grounds to the visitors, and as one of the chief directorsof the barbecue committee dealt out hospitality with Span- ish, or better, with early Californian lav- ishness. All who came were given ail they could eat and ail that was good for them to drink, and stretched out ou the smooth lawn or lounging beneath the thick shade of the fig-tree grove the guests ade merry or dreamily reposed as pleased eir own sweet fancy.
