London, July 2l.-The Associated Press learns that Japan is not satisfied With the assurance Russia has given the United States with regard to Man churia and has been actively urging Great Britain to join her in more en- ergetic attitude towards Russia. Great Britain thus far has been disinclined to take any action, but Japan is persistent in urging the immediate evacuation of and the restoration of the status quo at New Chwang and that a number of additional ports opened to the com- merce Of tise world.

4 FUTILE CRUISE.
Cup Yachts Have Poor Run from Nsw-
 port so vinsyara naven.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, July 21.-The New York Yacht club attempted to car " out its programme by thirty-seven mile run from Newport to this port to- day, but up to o'clock tonight not single yacht had shown up at the finish. The Columbia was last seen about 5:30 p. m. leading the fleet at which time she was off Cuttyhunk. Soon after a thick fog shut in, and the wind drop ped, leaving the yachts Tapping about at the entrance of Vineyard sound. The day was very unsatisfactory one from the early morning. After thick fog, which short thunder shower cleared away. the yachts left Newport harbor about 10 o'clock. this morning in a light northeasterly breeze. On getting out side they found the wind had shifted to the southeast. but it did not have a strength of more than four or five knots
 Within fifteen minutes after the start the wind died away almost completely, leaving the boats almost motionless. The Reliance and Constitution managed to pick up Q faint breeze by holding in toward the mouth of Seaconnet river while the Columbia went wind hunting off shore.
 For three hours the boats had breezes from all directions, but very light. The Reliance and Constitution managed to work down nearly to. Buzzard's Bay. where they were becalmed for an hour. Meantime the Columbia, followed by the Vigilant. picked up southerly breeze and slipped out ahead. The Columbia rounded Vineyard sound lightship, seventeen miles from the start at 5:01, the vigilant at 5:0S, The Reli- ance managed to get out of the calm ct She entrance of Buzzard's bay. and was timed around the lightship at 5:2S. At that time the Constitution was lying absolutely motionless two miles astern. At. 5:30 a fog came up and shut out the yachts From sight. The wind, which had hauled to the northeast, also died away and at 8 o'clock tonight the re- gatta committee gave up hope of see ing the yachts and made preparations to return into the harbor. It was ex- pected at o'clock tonight that the ten ders of the three cup yachts would pick. up some time during the night and tow them into port and that the other yachts of the fleet would anchor.
 At 9. o'clock tonight all three cup de- lenders were lowed into the harbor by their tenders and safely anchored. Nothing, however. was seen of any of the other yachts. and it is likely that the run will be called off. It is hoped to start the fleet oack 10 Newport to- morrow.

POPE'S BoDY DIssE0TED.
pr. Lapponi. Assisted by His son, Per-
 forms the oparation.


 Rome. July 21.-7:S5 D. m.-The em- balming of the pope's body began at 4:45 p. m. in the Tronetto hall (little throne room), and was performed by pr. Lap poni, assisted by his son, and the doctor of the Swiss Guard. The body was care fully washed and then the doctors pro- ceeded with the anatonic search of the arteries into which were injected a special disinfectant for preventing de- composition. They then proceeded to make an injection in the parenchyma. waiting afterwards some time for the diffusion of the disinfecting fluid throughout the body.
 Then began the dissection of the corpse. with an incision made in the chest bone, beginning in the center, but little to the left, so as to end at the external left margin of the chest bone, thus laying bare the therax, which was after opened. This was followed by tying all the arteries. which in that part oe the body are in communication with the remainder of the organism, and extracting afterwards the viscera of the thorax.
 Dr. Lapponi then made a prolonged cut lower down, extracting the abdomi- nal viscera. which was washed, disin- fected and put in an enameled earthen urn, to be deposited in the crypt of St. Peter, instead of the church of St. Vim cent Anastasius. as was done before 1870, when the portation of the urn was public ceremony, the procession passing through the streets.

All the roads and streets running into the capitol are guarded by government troops and the escape of the revolutionists after the capture of the capitol, which is inevit- able, seems impossible They must eith- CT surrender or die.
