LONDON, March 18 Lady Florence
Dixie was attacked at Windsor yes
terday by two men disguised In
women's clothes. Her dress was cut
with daggers In several places, but she
received no injury. Lady Florence
was walking In q secluded spot near
the woods when the men asked her
what time 1t was. She replied she
had no watch and afterward noticed,
though they wore women's clothes,
their faces had been shaved. Much
alarmed, she started to walk away, was
followed by them, one of whom seized
her. She struggled to escape, but
seeing their daggsrs, fell In . swoon.
This occurred at 4 O'Clock In the after
noon. She did not recover her senses
until 4:45. Lady Florence has been
prostrated to-day. The story of the
affair was elected from her only at
intervals. The saving of her life is
attributed to her dog, which Is sup
posed to have protected her while she
lay In q swoon. Lady Florence had
no reason to suspect Immediate danger,
although she had been somewhat fear
full since the receipt of letter about
the Land League. The last thing she
remembers Is one of the men pushing
q quantity of mud In her mouth. On
her recovery she found both her palms
cut across and gloves severed. There
were two dagger holes two inches
apart in the right breast of her dress
A broad steel corset rib had been
broken by the weapon, which had
penetrated to the inner lining of her
dress at the first stroke and to
her corset at the second stroke.
Lady Florence supposes she uncon-
sciously struggled with the men, as
sisted by her dog, until the scoundrels
were disturbed by q cart passed the
woods. She received threatening
letters while In Ireland recently.
One OF the men wore q green dress
and large hat with veil. The
yelled man attempted the assassins
tion. No arrests have been made
The police have slight clue to the
scoundrels. It is believed the men
were bitten In the struggle.

creants stunned her.
