RIFE IN MADRID.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL.

MADRID, June 21.-The greatest excite
ment prevails in this city over the explo-
sion of u dynamite bomb at midnight last
night in front of the residence of Antonio
Canovas del Castillo, the ex-Premier. In
addition to the damage already reported.
the shock partly wrecked a building near
by in which a circus performance was in
progress, causing a panic. The grandson
of the Marquis of Havana. President of
the Senate, was hit by piece of the fall
ing ceiling and so badly hurt that he will
die. A son of the Marquis of GetadeIest
was trampled to death by the panic
stricken throng and seven others were
severely hurt in the crush. A large num-
Der was less seriously hurt.
1t is believed the explosion is the work
OF Barcelona dynamiters. the revolution
lists being very active of late. A number
of arrests, it is said, will be made, chiefly
among men employed in printing Offices
devoted to the publication of anarchistic
documents. Many of these, closed a year
ago, during the anarchistic troubles, have
been reopened and have flooded the indus
trial sections with blood and fire litera-
ture.
1t is learned that prior to the explosion
gentleman and two wOrkmeG were seen
near the house of Castillo, and the gentle
man disappeared 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 distribute
them in various parts of the city.
That the bombs contained bullets is evil
denced by the fact that several buildings
in the vicinity show where the lead fiat
tened itself against the walls.
1t is conjpctured that the fuse on the
bomb that first exploded burned much
more rapidly than the conspirators calcu-
lated, and that the shock of the explosion
caused the bombs carried by the workman
to explode. blowing his body into fFag-
mPnts.
The dead man was printer. Anarchist
documents belonging to the weIl-kpown
anarchist Ernesto Alvarez were found in
his pockets and it is believed the victim
OF his own diaoolical designs is none other
than this foe of law and order. A letter
dated at Barcelona was also found advis-
ing the recipient to use the utmost eau
ton in carrying out the plans intrusted to
his 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 his scalp torn
turns out to be common laborer.
Extra guards have been stationed about
the public places and every preeauio lou is
made to prevent another outrage.
The wounded accOmplice of the dead
bomb-thrower made a partial confession
under pressure from the police. His name
is Suarez and he admitted that the dead
man was an anarchist named Ruitz, and
that he carried at the time of the explosion
bottle containing gunpowder and shot.
Five more anarchists have been arrested
in the city and seventeen in Barcelona for
completely in the BON b-throwing.
This confession of the arrested man, of
course, eXplodes the idea that il was
Alvarez who was killed
