nez Campos, ex-President of the Coun-
Gil, who made the military pronuncla-
mento which gave the throne of Spain to
Alfonso XII. General Campos was pres
ent at review of the troops, surrounded
by a brilliant staff. He watched the
maneuvers, and seemed highly pleased.
Many thousand people had gathered to
witness the review, The troops COM
menced to march past, when wild
looking man pushed through the crowd,
pulled what appeared to be a ball from
his trouser pocket and threw it at General
Campos. He quickly took second ball
from an inside pocket. A man i'll the
crowd struck the bombthrower's arm
Just as the second deadly weapon was
thrown, and it exploded among the staff
officers, not close to the General. The
man who had thrown the bombs was
seized and thrown to the ground.
The first bomb exploded right under
the horse upon which General Campos
was sitting, shattering its legs and tear
ing open its belly. The General fell heav-
lily, and it was thought sustained severe
internal injuries. However, he was only
partly stunned, and soon staggered TO his
feet, wiped the dust and blood from his
uniform mounted the horse of an aide
de-camp. and calmly ordered the review
to continue. But the eXertion was too
much for the veteran, and, suffering from
loss of blood, he was obliged to allow his
staff officers to assist him out OF the sad
die The wound was attended by sur
geons. who tried to persuade him to leave
the field. The General laughed at the
suppestion of the officers, and entering a
carriage had it driven to the front of the
reviewing point, and then the march
continued, the crowds cheering the Gen
eral until hoarse.
In addition to General Martinez Cam
DOS, General CASTILLO, Chief of Staff, GEN
erals Bustos and Molius and two police
men were badly wounded by the explo-
sion. and several people in the crowd sus-
tanned severe injuries. A civic guard was
instantly killed.
Several attempts were made to kill the
bomb thrower, who appeared to be alone.
He was, it is said, detailed to murder the
General by a branch society of the an
archistic brotherhood to which he be-
longed. When the troops near the Gem
eral learned of the attempt upon his
life it was with difficulty that they could
be kept in the ranks, as they wanted to
make short work of the bomb thrower.
The name Of the bomb thrower was
ascertained to be Pallas. He is known az
8 notorious anarchist, and when ques-
toned concerning the crime detiantly ad-
mitted that he intended to kill General
Campos and staff. He will be promptly
tried by court-martial, and may be shot
within twenty-four hours.
At the bomb thrower's residence a mass
of anarchistic literature was found, and
letters also fell into the hands of the
police which led to the arrest of two more
anarchists who are said to be accomplices.
The news caused great excitement in
Madrid, and the review which was to be
held there in honor OF the birthday of the
heiress presumptive, the Infanta Dona
Maria de las Mercedes, has been post
poned.
The wound from which General
Campos is suffering is not believed to be
dangerous, though it is a serious injury
to a man of his age, 60 years.
After the review General Campos tele-
graphed Queen Regent Maria Christina,
telling her of the attempt made upon his
life, and announcing his determination to
crush the criminals who were thus dis
turbing the peace of the kingdom. The
Queen Regent, in reply, telegraphed the
General expressing sincere sympathy.
and congratulating him upon his narrow
escape.
The bombs used were large iron spheres
charged with dynamite, and the eXplo-
sion was so powerful that it broke win
dows in a house a long way from the
reviewing point, and caused a stampede,
in which many persons were injured.
ANARCHISTS IN NEW YORK.
New YORK, Sept. 24.-WhiIe the
moneyed men of New York will tell you
they have not the slightest fear of danger
TO person or property from the alleged
great army of hungry men now IN the
slums of New York, they will admit that
they have taken precautions. One of the
first discoveries made by reporter was
that c. p. Huntington, the railroad mag
nate, and Cornelius Vanderbilt were noti-
fed quite recently by an alleged anarchist
that their new palaces on Fifth avenue
would shortly be blown skyward by
dynamite. One workman at the unfin-
ished Vanderbilt residence also discov-
cred card tackled upon the covered en-
trance TO the building. The card was
covered with a scrawl which declared
that the time had come for the rich man
to suffer for so-called wrongs TO the poor.
1t was very lncendlary in tone, but
Vanderbilt believed it to be the work of
some crank who became agltated over
the recent newspaper discussion about
anarchist and threats. However, another
card was tackled upon the boXed-up fence
of c. p. Huntington's mansion across
Fifth avenue. Both were undoubtedly
OF the same origin, and if he is an an
archist he is one of the pronounced type
of the disciples of Herr Most.
There are now four times as many
watchmen and detectives along Fifth
avenue in the vicinity of the residences
of the money kings as few months ago.
Superintendent Byrnes was asked if he
believed the anarchists would dare to
modest Fifth avenue property-owners. u
do not intend telling" he said, lust
what our plan is in dealing with these So
called anarchists, but suffice it to say
they are absolutely under control, and
the Fifth avenue mansions are in no dan
ger of destruction by bombs, | assure
you."
NIPPED IN THE BUD.
vienna, Sept. 24.-The anarchists OF
this city have lately undertaken an act
i've campaign. Anarchist pamphlets have
heeu distributed broadcast and violently
worded placards posted about the city.
The police learned where the secret
meetings were held, and, surrounding
the house, broke in the doors and ar
rasted a number of anarchists, who made
desnerate resistance. Detectives then
saarched the building and found print
ing press, piles of paper, large supply
Of ivne and thousands OF anarchist PAM
nblets ready for distribution In the
PaiIor vere cases filled with revolvers
md q large cnest full of bombs ready for
loading. and with all the necessary ex-
nlosive charges close at hand.
THE discovery has caused tremendous
sensation. and it has been intensified by
the knowledge that the rendezvous just
rsided is only one of number OF such
