Fatal Results of wednesday Nights's Ex-
pIosion-Iany Arrests.
MADRID, June 2l.-The greatest ex-
citement prevails as the result of the
dynamite explosion near the house of
ex-Prime Minister Castillo, last night.
In addition to the damage already re-
ported and the loss OF life and personal
injuries, the shock partly wrecked a
building near by in which a circus per-
formance was in progress, causing q
panic. A grandson OF the Marquis OF
Havana, president of the senate was hit
by piece of falling ceiling and go badly
hurt that he will die. A son of
the mafquis Of Getadelist was trampled
to death by the ic-stricken throng.
Seven others were seriously hurt in the
crush. A large number were less seri-
ously hurt. 1t is believed the explosion
was the work of Barcelona dynamiters,
the revolutionists there being very
active Of late.
A numNer OF arfeHts will be made. IT.
Is said, cfieiiy among the men employed
in printing offices devoted TO the publi-
cation Of anarchistic documents. Many
of those closed year ago, during the
anarchist troubles. have been reopened,
and have flooded the industrial sections
with blood and fire literature.
1t is learned that prior to the explo-
zion, gentleman and two workmen
we're seen near the house. of Castillo.
The gentleman disappeared few min
utes before the explosion occurred. 1t
is believed the workman killed by the
explosion carried number of bombs
charged with dynamite and large bullets,
and that it was the intention to dis
tribute them in various parts OF the city.
That the bombs contained bullets is evil
denced by the fact that several build
ings in the vicinity show where
the lead fattened itself against
the walls. It is conlectured
that the fuse on the bomb that fret ex-
ploded burned much more rapidly than
the coDspirators calculated, and that
the shock Of the explosion caused the
bombs carried by the workman to ex-
plode, blowing his BODY into fragments.
The dead man was printer. Anar-
chist documents belonging to well
known anarchist, Ernesto Alvarez, were
found in his pocket. 1t is believed the
victim of his own diabolical designs
was none other than this foe of law
and order. A letter dated Barcelona
was also found, advising the recipient to
use the utmost caution in carrying out
the plans entrusted to him. Alvarez
was previously arrested for connection
with anarchist plota, but managed to
escape conviction.
Several Anarchist printers have been
arrested on suspicion of being impli-
Gated in the plot. The man arrested
after the explosion with his leg broken
and scalp torn, turns out to be COM
mon laborer. He refuses to. say any
thing. Extra guards have been stationed
about the public places and every pre-
caution has been taken to prevent an
other outrage,
The wounded accomplice OF the dead
bomb-thrower made partial confession
under pressure from the police. The
mans name is Suarez. 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 an
archists have been arrested in this city
and II in Barcelona, for completely in
the bomb-throwing.
