The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-04-27

The truth Is that the people of Paris are
panic stricken at the audacity of the anar ch-
ISIS. The feeling of fear is heightened by
the apparent impotercy of the police to pre-
vent the anarchists from committing out
RACES when and where they please.
There was reason for last nights out
rage. It was in NJ. Very's cafe that Rava-
chol, the anarchist. whose trial Is nxed Tor
to-day, was arrested. and it was to Nj Very
ana one of his walters that the police were
indebted for the information that ledt0 his
capture. So strong Is the feeling oil fear
that many residents of the city ana foreign
visitors are leaving or making hurried
preparations to leave.
The scene in the vicinity of the explosion
surpasses description. Throughout the
night and morning excited crowds, some-
times numbering 10000, filled the streets
and surrounded the wrecked restaurant.
The affair was discussed IN loud and angry
voices and everybody joined in condemning
the outrage. The opinion seemed to prevail
among the crowd that the anarchists, not
only from France, but elsewhere, are re-
solved to force the world to take serious no.
tice of their existence and their doings. IL
is very likely that the methods that they
are pursuing will effect this end. put il is
the general opinion that If they succeed in
their object II will be SO much the worse for
them.
The first rumor had it that the explosive
was thrown through the grating in front OF
tile restaurant This statement is sup
ported by passer-by who says that he saw
serpentine flames shoot across the pave
ment and that the roar OF the explosive i'm
mediateiy followed, The restaurant was
wrecked, as was also the shop OF Nine
Meranze dealer in secondhand goods,
next door.
on the boulevard Magenta shouted. well
dOne!' ''Vive la republque." He was at
once arrested, but he denied that he had
raised the cry. Nothing could be proved
against him, and in few hours he was re-
leased.
The Injured Victims.
The report that Nj. Very had died from the
effects OF his injuries is incorrect. 1t Is
said at the hospital to-day that it is thought
his recovery is possible. Ills wife and
daughter, Jeanne, were badly burned about
their faces, but IL is not thought that their
condition is serious, though they are suffer-
ing great deal from the shock.
Paul Hammond. printer who was in the
restaurant at the time of tho explosion, is
horribly wounded in various parts of his
printer named Gandon Roger was severely
burned. The other injured persons are
progressing toward recovery.
dynamite cartridge was found last
night under the staircase OF house IN rue
d'Enghien.
TIE contents of number of small bombs
found in the lodgings of the anarchists we're
analyzed and found to contain kilogram Of
dynamite and kllogram of sebastlne.
Threats of the Anarchists.
L'Herot, the walter in II. Very's restau-
rant, who Informed the police of the habit
of kavachol of dining there. received an
anonymous letter yesterday in which it was
| said: "If RayachOl is condemned tomorrow
remember that at the same hour you viii be
attacked by the engines OF our vengeance"
A representative OF the Associated Press
had an interview with L'Herot to-day. He

| in their restaurant They engaged him in
| conversation and asked whether in view OF
the part he had taken in the arrest of Rava-

the anarchist would seek vengeance on
| him. LHerot replied Casually and then
! turned the conversation tn another subject.
| He regarded the matter lightly until after
| the Xp.osion. Then lie recalled several sig
nifcant incidents that had occurred after
dining. The women departed from the res

apparently TO avoid tile sulphurous vap9r

| Theory of the Expi osion.
The theory that the explosion was occa-
| stoned in this manner does not agree with
| the result of the inquiry that has been made
by the municipal engineers. The engineers
| believe that dynamite bomb was placed at
| the threshold of the restaurant, which had
| double door.
One section of the door, which is gener-
| ally open, was resting against the counter.
| The flooring at the doorway was covered
with an iron plate. The bomb APP ears to
| have been deposited about four inches from
| this plate inside the restaurant. The land
lady of the hotel situated over the restau-
| rant declares that half an hour before the
explosion two men dressed as peasants and
| carrying bag between them applied to her
| for room. She did not like their looks
| and refused to accommodate them.
The Affair Predicted.
On the morning of April 10 the Eclair
| published a mysterious paragraph to the
effect that "a serious incident" was likely
to occur on the opening of the trial of the
anarchist RavachOl which was likely 10 delay
the proceedings for a considerable period

Premier LOubet to-day visited the persons
injured by the explosion and assured them
of the sOlicitude of the Government fol-
their welfare.
