Advicm by the mail ataamer Gironde bring tort rrilars
of attack, made up in the printing r'fficve of EL Pfata. La
Nacion, and La Raton, at Montevideo, on the 20 h of
May. It appears that at about 7.30 p.m. • body of men
assaulted the office of El /Ulla, link. down the &Kra
with axes, sad entiired the building, where they broke
up the type, dealroyed hook' and papers, and smashed
the furniture. The people of the paper and one of the
editors, with his family. had sufficient warning to weeps
over the roof into the neighbouring house of the Brazilian
Minister. At the office of La Nasion similar deetruction
was effected by the mob, without finding any persm
inside; but at that of La Raton they find on the
arnailantii, killing an officer and wounding several persons.
Finally the doom yielded, and the mob kill,d a printer
and wounded several others, and wrecked and destroyed
all they encountered Leaving that place, they smashed
the windows of RI Herald°, but its door. bicked too solid
to be easily forced, and they passed on Later in the
night they attacked the typography of La Naaion and
wrecked the type ; and it is said that what saved the
typography of RI Maio from • like wrecking was that
they learnt that there preparations had been made to
receive them with showers of boiling water from the
I)uring the riot great alarm prev.iled, the
Legations were crowded, the shutters of the shops were
quickly closed. and the session of the Legislators was
postponed. Next day some of the papers tanned without
leading articles or comment on the occurrencee, and three
announced sumensinn for some days. A telegram of the
h ult. from Montevideo notifiee that the Uruguayan
Government had boiled on the Sfilla a degree forbidding,
under penalty of 5,000 dollars, the preps to treat of oolitic,'
quesiione in a manner that might create any dillicult.es
for the Government, and that two editors had been placed
nnder arrest for a short time. Later telegrams report that

TRAGIC OCCURRENCE IN ST. PETERSBURG.

A tragic illustration of Montenegrin manners
cccurrea at the ‘Vinter Palace on Thursday morning.
A Montenegrin officer named Djurjevitch, presented
himsTlf at the apartments where the Princess Milens
has been lodged, requesting to see her. He was in-
formed by e aide-de-camp on duty that this was
impossible, as the Princess was going immediately to
prayers in the chapel before starting on her journey.
Nurjevitch insisted on seeing the Prinress, drew a
dagger, and made a deadly attack on the aide-de-camp.
The latter, a smart strong man, although not so
powerful as his antagonist, received a blow on the arm,
which he held before his face, tearing away the flesh
and lacerating the cheek near the eye. Quickly draw-
ing a revolver he fired rapidly twice, point blank at his
assailant, who fell dead on the floor. The noise of the
fall and the firearms brought eager inquirers, the
Princess amongst them. Flaying learnt from the aide-
de-camp, covered with blood, how the incident oc-
curred, the Princess expressed her concern, then
leaving for the church stepped over the prostrate
corpse, which was in her way, and afterwards, as
ed, left St. Petersburg by the 1.30 train. The
arranged,
remains behind to attend the official
investigation.
