Black Sea Fleet.

Sevastopol, July IAN attempt
was made at l o'clock wednesday
afternoon, to assassinate Vice Admiral
Chouknin, commander Of the Black
Sea fleet. The admiral was wounded
and taken to a hospital.
The doctors hold out no hope Of his
recovery.
The admiral's assailant Is thought
to be one of the sailors of the battle
ship Otchakoff, and his act is supposed
to be in revenge for the execution OF
Lieut.. Schmidt, the revolutionary lead
er.
Admiral Chouknin was universally
hated by his sailors and at the time
of the execution of Schmidt the revo-
lutionists condemned him to death, 100
of their number pledging themselves
to carry out the sentence. This is the
second attempt since Schmidts execu-
ton on March of this year. The
first attempt was made by a woman
and after her effort had failed Adj
miral Chouknin ordered her to be
killed on the spot and his orderlies
brutally carried out the sentence in the

again condemned to death by the rev
