Explanations and Denials of Nihilist.
New YORK, March 16.---Paris dispatch:
Rochefort and Oliver left for Genoa yes
terday to obtain authentic details of the as
sassination from a nihilist correspondent. A
fresh communication from this person is pub
lished to-day in the Intransigant, which warns
the public against attaching too much credence
to kilograms from st. Petersburg, and declares
positively young man Roussakoff cannot have
thrown the first bomb. The real criminals,
according to the correspondent, were inside
one of the mansions bordering the rue Mil
lone, but the Russian officials found it con-
venient to let it be supposed the shells were
thrown by persons in the crowd. None of the
assassinslhave been arrested. The inference
drawn from this statement is that the emperor
was murdered by members of the nihilist fra
7ternity holding high official positions The
correspondent further affirms that the bombs
were not inclosed in glass as stated, and that
only five seconds elapsed between the two ex-
plosions. The last statement is interpreted
: to upset the picturesque story about the czar
getting out of his carriage to attend the
wounded
