ROME. March iT.-At $50 o'clock this
morning bomb exploded in the hncni
Mattel, d beautiful palace, the residence OF
United States Minister Porter. and which
was engaged by Mr.. Porter i'll December
last as his official residence during his
term of service.
The explosion OF the bomb did but
slight damage to the building and NOBODY
was injured.
All sorts of surmises are discussed as to
the cause of the affair but nothing definite
has yet been ascertained.
ROME, March following close
upon the unsuccessful attempt to blow
up the Ancini Mattel palace, the resi-
dence Of the Hon. William Potter,
American minister to Italy, another
dynamite outrage was attempted to-day
at the Palazzo Altieri, the headquarters
of the Guardia Mobile, one Of the mill
| tary organizations whose duty il 10 TO
attend the pope and to be present at
great religious functions.
Early this morning q boy who was
passing the Palazzo Altieri saw mass
| Of what he at first thought was mortar
lying upon the steps of the palace, with
boyish curiosity he ran up the steps and
was surprised to see burning fuse ex-
tending from the mass. The boy at
once stamped out the fuse with his feet
and then notified the police.
Gems d'armes were at once sent to the
palace and were not long in ascertaining
that what the boy had at first mistaken
for mass of mortar was powerful
bomb containing dynamite or Other
high explosive. The bomb was encased
in a thick coating of plaster of paris,
which, in the opinion of experts, would
have added to the destruction that
would have been wrought had an ex
ploson occurred.
The news of the attempted outrage
has caused considerable excitement il
