A CLUMSY ATTEMPT To Assassinate the President ot the French WkltoMHIi toth* Grand Prtx—Two or Three Pertoui Arrested on Suspicion, l>at the Real Culprit Believed to Have Escaped. Paris, June 13.—An attempt was made to assassinate Felix Faure, president of the French republic while he was en route to Longchamps to witness the grand prix. *. While M. Faure's carriage was passing a thicket near La Cascade restaurant, in the Bois de Bolougne, a bomb which subsequently proved to be a piece of tubing about six inches long and two inches in diameter, with a thickness of half an inch, charged with powder and swan shot, exploded. No one was injured by the explosion. A man in the crowd, suspected as the prime mover, was arrested. He gave his name as Gallet and made only the briefest replies to questions put to him by the police. Gallet said that he had no occupation, but resided at Levallers-Perret, The police are making a thorough search of his lodgings, He is believed to be insane, for he shouted as the carriage passed along so loudly as to attract general attention in the crowd. The police have also made another arrest, in this case a youth; but it is thought probable that the actual culprit escaped. The news'of the attempt spread like wildfire through the city, and as M. Faure returned to the Elysee the streets along the route where it was known he would drive, were crowded with people, who cheered him vociferously. It was at first reported that the would-be assassin wasffe young man about 25. who stood in the crowd UK) yards or more from the race, course and discharged a pistol at M. Faure, as he drove up to the entrance, and there was a subsequent report that both pistol and bomb were used. But the police now believe that the supposed pistol shot was merely the noise of the bomb. The bomb was a clumsily made affair. to which a piece of fuse was at- j taehed. In the thicket where the police found the remnants of the bomb, they found also a pistol upon which were engraved the words: “Mort A. Felix Faure," and the names Alsace-Lorraine and Cologne. Near the pistol was a small dagger bearing a similar threatening inscription: and a few feet away the police found a newspaper with a cartoon grossly insulting to the president. This contained an offensive inscription. hinting at the execution of M. Faure. Several persons have stated to the police that the moment the explosion occurred a man was seen to run swiftly into the thicket, but the reports ol this character are likely to be mere conjecture. The correspondent had an interview with au official who was riding with M. Faure. The official said: “When the report was heard a dense cloud of smoke rose from the thicket and there was consternation until it was found that no one had been injured. The police sprang forward, but found the thicket deserted. Wheu the crowd saw oue ot the polieemen holding the bomb they jumped to the conclusion that he was the perpetrator ol the outrage and handled him roughly, clubbing him with heavy walking sticks aud umbrellas until his comrades rescued him, badly bruised and covered with blood. • The. president's cortege then pro ceeded to the raee course.”

ARMS AND MUNITIONS. Government Has Information of an Important Proposed filibustering Expedition. Washington, June 12.—The treasury department has received, by reference from the secretary of state,a communication from the Spanish minister tc the effect that he has information that an important filibustering expedition is being organised on the coast of Florida, and asking that steps be taker by the government to frustrate it. Xo particulars were given, so that tl:e only action that could be taken by the department was to communicate this information to all collectors anc masters of patrol fleets, on the Florids coast, with instructions to be on tht alert to prevent the departure of any suspected expedition. This was don* Urday by telegraph. It developed later that the depart ment has specific information of the shipment of arms and ammunition foi what promises to be one of the most important filibustering expeditions foi several months. A carload of arms left Jacksonvillt Friday morning by the Florida East Coast railroad and passed near Smyrne southbound. A second carload of rifles and dynamite left Jacksonville Satur day morning on the regular freight train for the probable purpose of being transferred to some vessel on the east coast, probably the yacht “Valusia." which has been engaged to transfer these munitions from the railways to the vessel destined for Cuba. it is probable that the vessel which will receive these arms wili not come close to shore. , “MAN AND MANLINESS" (be Subject of a Diwuur.ff Before a Graduating Class of Women. Baltimore. did., June 13.—Bishop Cyrus P. Foss preached the baccalaureate sermon this morning before the graduating class of the W oman's college of Baltimore. “Man and Manliness" was the subject of the discourse, an.I it was ably handled.
