ANARCHIST TRIED TO
KILL PREMIER OF SPAIN.
Only "A Slight Wound Was Made by
the AssadIant.


the AssadIant.
Barcelona, April 12-Premier Maura
was attacked to-day by a would be
assassin, armed with knife, while
entering the palace of the council gen.
eral.
The Premier had just returned from
attending a requiem service celebrated
for the repose of the soul of the late
Queen Isabella and was entering the
palace, when youth, 10 years old,
named Joaquin Miguel Artao, ap-
preached and shouting Good day,
long live anarchy" struck the Premier
in the chest.
A tremendous confusion followed, re-
sulting in the widespread report that
Senior Maura had been stabbed with
a poignard. The police Immediately
arrested the Premier's assailant. Senor
Maura left the scene in a carriage
and the prisoner was taken to the pre-
lecture.
Late tonight a semi-official report
of the attack on Premier Maura was
issued, according to which the as
sailant held concealed kitchen knife,
with which he stabbed the Premier,
but the force of the blow was broken,
and it's direction diverted by the heavy
lace on the minister's coat, resulting
in only a slight scratch under the
sixth rib. A doctor attached to King
Alfonso's suite examined the Premier
and prescribed a few hours rest.
Artao, the assailant, was employed
as a domestic. He is an anarchist
and when arrested attempted suicide
by dashing his head against the wall.

FREQUENT SKlRMISHES
REPORTED AT SEOUL.

Seoul, Korea, Monday, April IL, 4:SO
p. m.-The Japanese authorities here
say there have been frequent skir-
mtshes between Sak-ju and Wiju.
The main body of the first japanese
army is in the neighborhood of Wiju.
About 900 flat-chested, sandal-shod
Korean infantrymen left Seoul to-day
for the northern part of Ham Hung
DO province, on the frontier of the
Kirin district of Manchuria, to keep
in order the bandits, who are con-
stantly embroiled with the Chinese set
tiers in the Tumen region, which has
resulted in diplomatic representations
on the subject from China. It is con-
sidered doubtful whether these troops
will reach their destination, fears be-
ing expressed that they will desert.
The Japanese minister to Korea, M.
Hayashi, has requested the Korean
government to facilitate the plans Of
Gen. Haraguchi, the commander of the
Japanese forces at Seoul, for the thor
ough sanitation of Seoul and the other
large towns of Korea, so as to not ex-
pose the Japanese troops to the raw
ages of cholera and other diseases.

DIVER DIED IN RESERVOIR.
All Efforts to Release Him Proved
UnavaiIinE.

Boonton. N. j., April 12.-William
Hoar, a diver from New York. who
was imprisoned in seventy feet of
water in the Jersey City reservoir here
yesterday was this afternoon given
up for dead by other divers, who had
come to aid in rescuing him. About
an hour before the rescuing party de-
sisted, it was thought that he had
given a signal, but physician said
that the tug at the rope undoubtedly
was the result of the line catching on
some obstruction.
1t is possible that Hoar's wonderful
constitution enabled him to hold out
until noon, it seemed that he sig
nailed feebly up to that time. In the
rescue work the last diver to be
brought to the surface was uncon-
scious when hauled up. When he had
been revived he said he thought Hoar
had been dead for some time. The
first of the rescuing divers to sue
cumb is in a serious condition. His
hands are swollen to twice their nor
NAL size, and when he succumbed
blood was oozing from under the fin
ger nails.
Hoar was sent here on Monday from
New York to close an intake pipe in
the lake. To close the pipe a ball of
wood and lead, nine feet in diameter,
had been lowered in front of the OPEN
ing Hoar went down early yesterday
afternoon to place the ball in proper
position and his left leg became caught
between the pipe and the ball. AL
efforts to release him failed.
