MADRID, June 21.-The greatest ex-
element prevails as a result OF the dyna-
mite explosion near the house of ex-Prime
Minister Castillo last night. In addition
to the damage already reported and the
loss of life and personal injuries, the
shock partly wrecked building near by
In which a circus performance was in
progress, causing panic. A grandson Of
the marquis of Havana and president of
the senate, was hit by a piece of falling
ceiling and so badly hurt that he will die.
son of the marquis of Getadelest was
trampled to death by the panic-stricken
throng. Seven others were severely hurt
In the crush, and a large number less
seriously hurt. 1t is believed the ex-
plosion was the work of the Barcelona
dynamiters, the revolutionists there be-
ing very active of late.
number OF arrests, it is said, will be
made, chiefly among men employed in
printing offices devoted to the publica-
ton of anarchistic documents. Many Of
these were closed year ago during the
anarchist troubles, but have been re-
opened and have flooded the industrial
sections with blood and fire literature.
1t is learned that prior to the explosion
gentleman and two workmen were seen
near the house of Castillo. The gentle
man disappeared a few minutes before
the explosion occurred.
1t is believed the workmen killed by the
explosion carried a number OF bombs
charged with dynamite and large bullets
and that it was the intention to distrib-
ute them in various parts of the city.
That the bombs contained bullets is ev-
idenced by the fact that several buildings
in the vicinity show where the lead
fiattened itself against the walls.
1t is conjectured that the fuse of the bomb
that first exploded burned much more
rapidly than the conspirators calculated
and that the shock of the explosion
caused the bombs carried by the work
man to explode, blowing his body into
| fragments. The dead man was prin-
ter.
Anarchist documents belonging to the
well known anarchist, Ernesto Alvarez,
were found in the dead mans pockets
and it is believed that the victim of his
own diabolical designs is none other than
this foe of law and order. A letter dated
Barcelona was also found, advising the
recipient to use the utmost caution in
carrying out the plans intrus ted him.
Alvarez has been previously arrested for
connection with anarchist plots, but
managed to escape conviction.
Several Anarchist printers have been
arrested on suspicion of being implicated
| IN the plot. The man arrested after the
explosion with his leg broken and scalp
torn, turns out to be a common laborer.
| He refuses to say anything. Extra
guards have been atationed about public
places and every preeaution taken to
prevent outrage.
The wounded accomplice of the dead
bomb thrower has made a partial con-
iession under pressure from the police.
The man, who is named SGarez, adj
kr1 fI1t A
chist named Ruitz, and that he carried at
the time of the explosion bottle contain
ing gunpowder and shot. Five more
Anarchists have been arrested in the city,
and seventeen in Barcelona for completely
in the bomb throwing.
