BOOM FOR GEN. MILES
NOT REGARDED SERIOUSLY BY
PARTY LEADERS IN BOSTON.
Peculiar Position of the Democrats in

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Mass, June 2.-The Miles boom
for the democratic nomination for the gov
ernorship of Massachusetts is not taken
very seriously by the leaders in this city.
He had a little boomlet a year ago, but
it was lost in the rush for Douglas. The
democratic party in the Bay state is this
year in a peculiar position in that 1t can
not win with any candidate against Lieu
tenant Governor Curtis Guild. jr.
The democratic leaders realize this. but
there is some belief that a spectacular cam
didate would make a better showing than
some others that have been mentioned.
hence the talk of Miles. The general Is in
a receptive mood and says he would ac-
cept the nomination IF it comes from the
democratic party as a whole" That the
call will be long and loud is very much
doubted.
Miles Not Very Popular.
Cen Miles is not very popular with the
democratic state and city machines. and
there undoubtedly would be opposition to
his nomination. In that case he would not
care to accept it on his own statement.
Chairman Flahertys boom for Gen. Miles
may be accounted for on the score of per-
sonal friendship, since he is an ardent mil
itia man.
Governor Douglas will not run again un-
der any circumstances. He would meet
with tremendous opposition in his own
party, especially in Boston. where his police
commission appointments and other acts
have aroused great bitterness
Thayer the Probable Candidate.
The man who will undoubtedly receive the
nomination undoubtedly is ex-Congressman
John r. Thayer of Worcester.
The only thing heard thus far against
Thayer's candidacy is his protect,on.st lean
ings. Miles would be forlorn hope as
spectacular candidate. but he would have
no show against Gen. Guild. who Is i'm
mensely popular not only in Boston, but
throughout the state. In this city alone
he will receive thousands Of democratic
votes from intimate friends, which ne counts
as legion.

two of the three midshipmen dismissed
from the Naval Academy for hazing and
whose reinstatement was authorized by

fed mentally and professionally, but failed
to pass physically. His disability is be-
lieved to be only temporary and is expected
to be remedied by course of trea tment, in
which event he, too, will be reinstated in
the naval service. 1t was intended to act
in the case of the three young men at the
same time, but it was finally decided to ap-
point Chaffee and Lof1and at once and give

Russians Learn of Horrible
Stories of Slaughter
IN RECENT NAVALFIGHT
TOTAL LOSS OF MEN MAY EX-
CEED TEN THOUSAND.
Ugly Stories Circulated in st. Peters
burg of Cowardice and Treachery
of the Crews.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 2.-The Russian
press this morning still is advocating more
vigorously than ever the summoning OF
national assembly, even the reactionary
Sviet Joining in the general chorus. In
view of the current rumors it Is most sig
nificant that the papers, which are more
or less In the confidence of the government
unanimously take the position that repre-
scntatives of the people should decide the
question of peace or war.
All censorship is now removed from for
eign dispatches and the people are appalled,
at the horrible stories of slaughter on
board the Russian ships
The admiralty has not yet been able to
estimate even approximately from the for
eign advices the loss of men, but as the
ships were over. rather than under, manned
the total will be greater than the ordinary
con- nplement of the vessels would indicate
and probably will exceed 10000 If only
about 1900 were saved.
Many Distracted Relatives.
Requiem masses are being celebrated con-
s,anty in all the churches and chapels for
the repose of the souls of the slain, al
though the distracted relatives are unable
to learn definitely the fate of those dear to
them. The admiralty up to the present time
has been unable to throw any light on -he
situation except to announce the safety OF
those who have reached VladivostOk
Ugly stories are circulating in this city OF
the decentralization and even treachery OF
the crews of several of the Russian ships
during the battle, and it is even said that
the crew of the battleship Orel bound their
officers and hoisted the white flag. The
origin of these stories. which are diScredited
by all naval men here, cannot be traced, as
the only direct information comes from
japan. but doubtless they are based on the
trouble among the crew of the Orel before
her departure for the far east. She was
sunk at her dock before she left Cronstadt
and later at Libau the crew were mutinous.
Nebogatoff Severely Criticised.
Indignation against Rear Admiral Nebo-
gatoff is growing. The epithets coward"
Jand traitor coupled with his name,
especially since the receipt of the Tokyo
dispatches showing that his surrender was
not in the heat of battle, but with the land
close under his lee, to which his crews
could have escaped after the destruction
OF the ships.
Conservative Russians are alarmed at the
possibility of disorders in various parts of
Russia as result of the disaster and
feeling of disquietude for the future is
manifested everywhere.
