DYNAMITE OUTRAGE.
AN ANARCHISTS FATAL WORK IN
BELGIUM.

Wounded by Terrific ExpIoslon at th Q
Cnfe du Prince in Ostend.---The Crimi-
nails Escape.
BRUSSELS, August 13.-Great excite
ment prevails today in O5tend over u
dynamite outrage that has resulted in
three persons being fatally injured.
oSteni IS the efavoritesummer resort for
the Btlgiah aristOcracy. The King Of
the Belglans has summer residence
and visits the baths; and other summer
attractions include nobility from all
parts OF Europe, and especially from
Russla, whose leading families make
Ostend their favorite resort on the
western shores Of Europe. The old
Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany also was
frequent visitor to Ostend. At present
Ostend is thronged with visitors. One
OF the most ariStocratiC resorts is the
Cafe du Prince, called after the late
l'rincn Consort of England, and much
frequtnted by English sOjourners as
well as by Russians and Germans. To.
day while number of people were in
the Cafe, a dynamite cartridge exploded
under one Of the windows. The force
OF the explosion was terrific. The cafe
was wrecked, the windows shattered,
the tables broken and plates and glasses
smashed and hurled about the room.
Several persons IN the cafe were hit by
the ilyiDg missiles and three were IA
tally injured. The spectacle was the
most horrible ever seen in OStend.
leople came running out from the
cafe, their faces streaming with blood,
adding to the dismay and terror of the
fashionable throng that had gathered
at tho sound OF the explosion. The po-
lice rushed in and found several per
sons lying in the wreck with serious
wounds, one of them. unconscious, and
another almost dead, owing to the co.
plous flow Of blood from cash in his
temple. The wounded were at once
conveyed to the hospital or their stop
ping places, and efforts were made to
ascertain who was guilty of the crime.
There WAS very little lett of the dyna.
mite car, ridge, but the police were able
to locate where it had been placed. So
far, however, they are without any re.
liable clue as to the criminal. Two
persons of suspicious appearance ar
rived in Ostend from Paris in the early
part OF the week and we're shadowed by
the police who suspected them of being
thieves or swindlers. They paid their
way and as they did not do anything
to justify arrest they were not moleSt-
ed. They are now missing. 1t is
thought that perhaps they were anar-
chists, and perpetrated the outrage in
revenge for the severe penalties recent.
ly imposed OH Belgian anarchists. The
outrage has caused such dismay among
the visitors at OStend that number
OF them have given notice of their in
tention to go elsewhere, as they fear
this Is but the beginning of series OF
outrageS, aimed at the wealthy class,
who frequent the resort. The guards
at the palace Of the King of the Bel
gians has been increased and sentinels
on the Notifications have been directed
to be specially vigilant in detecting and
detaining suspicious persons. The IIO-
tel Des Bains, it is said, has asked for
additional police protection.
A Frightful Storm.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 1.-THE
horrors of frightful storm have been
added to the misery and suffering caus-
ed by the cholera at Mini NoVgored.
The storm was one OF the most fright
iul that has ever visited thai region. 1t
came sweeping over the town with a
force and fury that many buildings
were unable to resist. The cholera hos
pital was full of patients, many of
them in a dying condition. AS they
heard the roar of the hurricane, some
OF them died of fright. The terrible
noise Of the approaching storm itself,
which crushed in n large part Of the
cholera hospital like an eggshell, hurl.
ing the bed and wooden walls into Il
mass Of ruins. From the debris came
the ShrlekS and grOans Of the victims, a
number of whom died while the work
OF rescue was going on. Other build
lngS were also crushed, and the tents
OF the traders, who had remained, not
Wlthstandlng the cholera were scatter
| ed with their contents in ali directions.
| The wretched people of Novorgord
have had all the courage driven out of
them by this latest visitation, and
many of the superstitutiOuS declared
that tie Almighty had desermined to
destroy the city Oh account OF the
wckeuness of the people. Those who
could lly have deserted the place, while
the people who remain can be seen in
crowds at the shrines and in the church
es, proving for the mercy of heaven.
