TOULON, May 15.--1t is difficult to
imagine the Joy and relief felt at Toulon
this morning when a dispatch from Ca

rival OF the destroyer Arbalete. With the
crew OF the Quand-Mtmefne on board.
It is now definitely known that no
lives has been lost In this remarkable
s.Agiers- Toulon race.
All seven of the boats probably have
gone to the bottom. but naturally this is
considered secondary matter. In view
OF the fact that the crews have been
saved
THO general opinion ls that tho weather
encountered by the boats was eacep-
ftIonal and dangerous, even for Destroy
ers, and that 1t would have been sur
