THE DEADLY DYNAMITE.
An Attempt TO Blow Up the Residence of
spain's EN-Premier.

MADRID, June 2l.-Great excitement
prevails throughout the city, i'm conse-
quence Of the attempt last night to blow
up with dynamite the residence of Senior
Canoyas Del Costello, lately Prime Min
ister. At the time of the explosion a
performance was being given at circus
short distance from the residence OF
SenOr CanOvas Del Costello. The shock
was so great that il caused a part of the
ceiling directly over the stalls 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
reverberating through the building, the
people, panic-stricken, made a rush for
the exits, paying no attention 10 those
unlucky enough TO tumble and fall, but
tramplng upon them I'm their frantic ef-
forts 10 escape. Among the occupants Of
the stalls were the grandson OF the Mar
quis Of Havana, President Of the Senate,
and son Of the Marquis Guadelest. The
former was struck on the head by
large piece Of falling ceiling. and sustain
ed injuries that caused death I'm a few
hours. A son Of the Marquis Guadelest
attempted 10 rush from the building,
lost his footing, and the panic-stricken
crowd trampled him 10 death. His body
was later removed from the building.
His face was hardly recognizable. Seven
other persons were trampled upon by
the crowd and seriously injured, while a
large number who escaped unaided from
the building sustained painful, but not
dangerous injuries.
IL is generally believed that the ex-
pl0sion was the work OF Anarchists,
whose headquarters are at Barcelona.

The new organization viii i'm the future

tween the different classes of workmen.
G. w. Howard, vice-president OF the
new organization. called the meeting 10

SUBM4RINE BOAr.
The Designs for IL Submitted TO the Naval
Ordnance Rurean.


WASHINGTON. d c.. June 21.-The
designs submitted yesterday for a sub
u arine boat have been referred to TIE
Naval Ordnance Bureau for preliminary
examination, and they will later be sub
rnittcd 10 a special board, with a view TO
the selection Of the most feasible design.
A though but three of the eight bids
received contemplated the actual con
stLCtion Of the boat the advertisements
for proposals were so framed that II
there is a really eriiorious design sub
mitted by an impecuniOus inventor The
department will be in position 10 buy
the design and contract with other per-
sons TO build the boat From a cum ory
examination Of the plans submitted by
persons who propose 10 actually build
the craft il does not appear lat any
novel ideas have been evolved by them.
The Baker boat. which has already been
a subject Of test by the Navy DEPART
ment. uses a steam engine for surface
propulsion, storing up surplus power In a
secondary battery. which furnishes the
power to speed the boat under water when
she dives beneath the surface. The Cowles
boat is understood 10 be Of the Norden-
feldt pattern. tried i'm the British navy.
The power I'm his case is an steam. When
the boat goes below the surface The fires
are hermeticaly sealed. and the latent
energy Of the large quantity of super
heated water I'm the boiler supplies sufi-
Client steam 10 run the engines .for con
siderable time. Both Of these ideas have
been put in practice with fairly satisfac-
tory results here and i'm Europe but il
remains 20 be seen whether tle other de-
signs submitted include any novelty
which promises better.
