At the time Of the explosion perform
anGe Vas being given ut a circus, Il short
distance from the residence of senior CanO.
vas Del Castelio The shock was So great
that 1t caused a part Of the ceiling, directly
over the stalls that were occupied by
party OF mobiles, 10 crash down upon the
heads Of the occupants Of the stalls
Blinded by the dust that filed the air and
with the roar Of the explosion still rever-
bcrating through the building, the people
were panic,strcken and made a rush Tor
the exits, paying no attention to those
who were untucky enough to stumble and
lall, nut trampllng upon them in their
frantic efforts to escape.
Among the occupants of the stalls were
the grandson of the Marquis Of Havana,
president OF the Senate, and son OF Mar.
qnIs Gliadaes, The former was struck on

and sustained injuries that will cause his

BILE.

IL is generally believed that the eX-
ploSiOn Nas the work OF Anarchists, whose
headquarters are at Barcelona. II is eS-
pected that u numbrr of arrests will be
made i'll the city of men who are supposed
to be implicated in the outrage.
The affair is supposed to have some con.
nectlon with the plans Of the Revolution
lists IN Barcelona, where the opponents of
the government have shown much activity
Of late. These arrests, it is said, will be
made chiefly among the men employed in
the printing offices which are devoted to
the publication of AnarChistiC documents

ABOUT u year ago, during the Anarchist
troubles, but they have been opened again
and have Hooded the industrial sections of
the country with the blood and fire litera-
ture characteristic Of the Anarchists
1t has been learned that prior to the ex.
ploslOn gentleman and two wOrkmen
were seen near the house Of senior GalOvas
Del Castillo. The gentleman disappeared
few minutes before the explosion DE-

who was killed by the explosion
carried number OF bombs charged
with dynamite and large bullets. and
that it was his intention to distribute
them in various parts Of the city. That
the bombs contained bullets is evidenced
by the fact that several OF the buildings in
the vicinity of the explosion show where
the lead llattcned itself against their walls.
1t is coniGctured that the fuse OF the bomb
that first exploded burned much more
rapidly than the cunspirators calculated
upon. and that the shock of the explosion
caused the bombs carried hv the working
man to explode, blowing his body into
fragments.
The dead man was a printer. Anarchist
papers and documents belonging to u we'll
known Anarchist named ErncstO Alvarez
were found in the pockets Of the clothing
that WAS left ON the horribly mutilatcd
trunk and it is believed that the victim of
his own diabuliCal designs was noue other
than this foe of law and order. A letter dated
from Barcelona was also found, advising
the recipient to use the utmost caution in
carrying out the plans entrusted to him
EAAlverez had been previously arrested for
his connection with Anarchist plots. but
had managed to escape conviction. Several
Anarchist printers in Madrid have already
been arrested Oh suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the plot
