PARIS, March 29.-Precautions are being
taken to guard houses against explosives.
In an interview today anarchists openly
attributed the outrages to harsh treat
ment. An increase of the police force is
demanded, but the opposition is strong
against a system of offering rewards.
PARIS, March 29.-The police assert
that they have information regarding the
explosions in the boulevard st. German
and the Rue Clichy, and that Ravachol
placed the bombs in position while accom-
plices kept watch. 1t Is reported that
woman, whose name is given as Marietta
Soubert, has betrayed the Ravachol party.
At a meeting of the municipal council
yesterday it was announced that all the
authors of the recent dynamite outrages
except two had been arrested. Leading
anarchists declare that the members of the
party are acting singly and on their own
responsibility; that there is no precon-
certed plan to cause explosions. They ex-
press themselves as delighted with the
moral effect of the explosions, which, they
say, will direct greater attention to their
doctrines
Baron Rothschild and other leading
bankers and prominent residents have re-
ceived menacing letters from anarchists.
A packet of explosives has been found in a
house in the Rue Rennes, just vacated by
police magistrate.
The money loss to the city on account of
the recent explosions is heavy. 1t is not
known where the next blow will strike.
There is no denying the fact that it is the
expressed intention of the anarchists to
lnaugurate reign of terror and this
has caused CONSERVATION. An import
ant meeting of the authorities was
held at the ministry of the
interior today. The situation was dis
cussed in all its bearings, and it was ar
ranged to execute stringent measures for
the prevention of further outrages, The
residences of prominent officials are
guarded by day and night. Thevenet.
ex-minister of justice, has received a
threatening letter. Judge Benoit, against
whom the recent explosion in the
Boulevard st. Germaln was directed, has
been notified to quit by the landlord, who
says that if the judge remains the tenants
will leave. People living in the
vicinity OF anyone connected with the gov
eminent are greatly alarmed, and in many
cases are removing. AS an inducement to
prospective tenants, landlords have an
nounced that no one occupying a judicial
position will be accepted as a tenant.
Several landlords have served notice upon
such tenants to quit. Tourists are depart
ing in consequence of the scare.
1t is asserted that ex-Ninister Constans
kept secret service funds obtained during
his term of office, out of his successors
possession.
Upon a house occupied by eight public
officials the following notice was found
yesterday: "This house will shortly be
blown up with dynamite"
Many householders today asked the
police for protection. 1t is impossible to
comply with every request, but the people
were told that everything possible is being
done to insure their safety. A wealthy
distiller, living at Roman, received notice
that the distillery will be blown up with
dynamite May day.
