Anarchists Arrested While About to Blow
Up the Chamber of Deputies.
MADRID. April 4.-Great excitement was
caused here to-day by the discovery of an
Anarchist plot to blow up the Chamber of
Deputies. The leaders of the cOnspirators
arrived here within the past month. The
civil Governor had received information
that two foreign Anarchists were con-
spring with o number Of Spanish An
archists to blow up the public buildings.
and the suspects were accordingly watched.
The project against the Chamber of Depu.
tics was arranged to como off on Saturday.
O Frenchman named Deval and a Portu-
guese named Feirriera intending to conceal
u couple of bombs under the seats in the
public gallery and then to leave before the
bombs exploded. Feirriera. however. was
taken i'll and the attempt was postponed
until to-day at 4P. NJ. Both cOnspiratOIs
left their houses. each carrying under his
arm a small parcel of tho shape of a
bottle wrapped in a newspaper The
police Swallowed them and kept them
in sight until they reached the
Cortes Binding. where both were seen to
place themselves before the door leading to
the Chamber of Deputies by which the
President of the Chamber and Premier
Canovas del Castillo usually enter. The
police then decided that IL was time TO act.
and they ut once proceeded To arrest the
p%lotter5. The Frenchman. a man of hercu-
lean strength. fought hard. but was finally
knocked down and overpowered. Both
men were Immediately handcutfed. When
searched they were found TO have in their
possession eonical bombs inclosed in cast
iron cases eight inches long by three broad.
A yellow fuse. similar TO that used by
smokers. was attacked to the bombs. which
were bound and lightly compressed by
steel wire for the purpose of increasing the
strength of the explosion. The bombs
weighed each eight pounds. The fuse was
80 adjusted as to burn three minutes before
exploding the charge. The bombe have not
been carefully examined as yet. bat they
appear to be loaded with enough dynamite
to blow no the whole Cortes.
A document was found on the prisoners
containing O draft Of the plan of action of
the Cosmopolitan Society. according TO
which the c~Onspirators were first to blow
up the Chamber of Deputies; second, the
Senate; third. the law courts; fourth, the
Council of State; fifth. the Ministry of
