MADRID, June 21.-Great excitement
prevails throughout the city to-day in
consequence of the dastsrdly attempt
last night to blow up with dynamite the
residence of SenOr Canovas del Castillo,
lately prime minister
Though the occupants of the residence
of the ex prime minister escaped un-
scathed, the explosion was the cause of
the death of one person, the fatal injury
of another and the wounding of several
others
At the time of the explosion perform
alce was being given at a circus, short
distance from the residence of Senior
Canovas del Castillo. The shock was so
great that it caused part of the ceiling
directly over the stalls that were oc-
cupied by a party of mobiles to crash
down upon the heads of the occupants
of the stalls. Blinded by the dust that
filled the air, and with the roar of the ex-
plosion still reverberating through the
building, the people were panic-stricken
and made rush for the exits, paying
no attention to those who were unlucky
enough to stumble and fall, but tramp.
ling upon them in frantic efforts to
escape.
Marquises' Grandson Fatally Injured.
Among the occupants of the stalls
were the grandson of the Marquis of
Havana, president of the Senate and
son of Marquis Guadalest. The former
was struck on the head by large piece
of the falling ceiling and sustained in
juries that will cause his death in a few
hours.
This One Trampled to Death.
The son of Marquis Guadslest at
tempted to rush from the building but
lost his footing, and the panic stricken
crowd trampled him to death. His body
was later removed from the building.
His face was hardly recognizable. Seven
other persons were almost trampled
by the crowd and seriously injured.
while a large number of those who
escaped unsided from the building sus-
tanned painful, but not dangerous in
juries
It is believed that the explosion
was
The Work of Anarchists
Whose headquarters are at Barcelona.
1t is expected that a number of arrests
will be made in this city, of men W no
are supposed to be implicated in the
outrage The affair is supposed to have
some connection with the plans of the
revolutionists in Barcelona, where the
opponents of the government have
shown much activity of late.
Blood and Fire Literature.
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
Many of these printing Offices were
closed about year ago during the
anarchist troubles, but they have been
opened again and have flooded the in
dustrial sections of the country with
the blood and fire literature characteris-
tic of the anarchists
Three who Are Suspected.
1t has been learned that prior to the
explosion a gentleman and two work
men were seen near the house of Senor
CAnovas del Castillo. The gentleman dis
appeared few minutes before the explo.
sion occurred. 1t is believed that the work
man who was killed by the explosion
carried a number of bombs charged with
dynamite asd large bullets and that il
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 fattened
itself against their walls 1t is con
jectured that the fuse of the bomb that
first exploded burned much more rapidly
than the conspirators calculated upon
and that the shock of the explosion
caused the bombs carried by the work
ingman to explode blowing his body int
fragments.
Dead Man an Anarchist Printer.
The dead man was a printer. Anar
chist papers and documents belonging t,
a well known anarchist named Ernest
Alvarez were found in the pockets of tn
clothing that was left on the horribly
mutilated trunk and it is believed tina
the victim of his own diabolical design
was none other than this foe of law anC
order.
Several Anarchist printers in Madri,
have already been arrested on suspicion
of being implicated in the plot.
VIII Try to Force Confession.
The man who was arrested after tn
explosion with a leg broken and hi
scalp torn, turns out to be a common
laborer. He refuses to say anything, bu
the police will try to force confession
from him later in the day.
As usual after an explosion of thi
kind the police are extremely vigilant
Extra guards have been stationed abou
the public buildings and every precau
tiOn taken to prevent another outrage.
THEIR HORSE KILLED THEM.
