RUSSIA AGAIN ACCUSES.
Declares Japan Fired OF Hospital on
 March 10.

Paris, March 2O.-The Russian em- bassy has received from St. Petersburg protest against an alleged infraction of the laws of war, and has handed it to Foreign Minister Delcasse for trans mission to the French minister at To- kio who is entrusted with the protee- ton of Russian interests in Japan. It appears that during the attack on Port Arthur on March 10 the Japanese fired over fifty projectiles at the quarantine station on the Island of Sam -Shan-Lao, resulting in the injury of numerous per- sons.
 Count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minister. considers this a violation of the laws of war, notably of the twenty fifth clause of The Hague convention, to which Japan was a signatory power. The minister, therefore, asks France to call Japan's attention to the matter, apart from the general protests con- tained in the recent Russian note to the powers.

 Southampton, March 20.-The Amer ican line steamship New York, which left New York March F for Plymouth, Cherbourg and Southampton, met with two mishaps to-day, grounding off Cape La Hague, France, in the early morn ing, and later coming into collision in the English channel with the Peninsular and Oriental steamship Assaye, under contract to the British government and used as troop ship, bound for Bom- bay with 800 troops on board. The New York grounded while ap- preaching Cherbourg during a fog. The
 sea was smooth and the tide was rising and an hour and a half after she grounded the vessel tioated without as sistance. Her bottom was damaged and there was water in the holds; but she was able to proceed.
 During the voyage up the channel a
 dense fog descended. When off Hurst
 Castle, England, the Assaye appeared so suddenly that it was found impossi-
 ble to avoid collision. The New York crashed into the Assaye's starboard bowsprit and figurehead.
 There was great excitement, but no panic on either vessel The boats of the Assaye were lowered and the troops
 were mustered, but the bulkhead of the troopship saved her. Both vessels were
 able to enter Southampton, and the New York was docked for temporary repairs. Nobody was injured. It will be impos-

 were asleep, hardly felt the shock.
 James Sellers, passenger on the New York, says that at 1:30 o'clock this
 afternoon, while he was at luncheon,
 there was a grating noise, followed by a tremendous shock. Every one, he
 says, ran to the deck, rnd it was found that the New York's bow was firmly fixed in the side of the Assaye. MT. marvellous discipline aboard the troop snip. sNot second was lOSL ana there
