MADRID, June 2o.-Great excitement
prevails throughout the city in conse,
quence of the dastardly attempt
to blow up with dynamite the
residence of Senor Canovas don Castil-
10, lately prime minister. Though the
occupants of the residence of the ex-
prime minister escaped unscathed. 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 a performs
ance was being given at n cir
Gus a short distance from the residence
OF Senor Canovas del Castillo. The
shock was SO great that il caused a
part of the ceiling directly over the
stalls that were occupied by party of
mobiles to crash down upon the heads of
the occupants. The people were panic
stricken and made n rush for the exits,
paying no attention to those who were
unlucky enough to stumble and fall,
but trampled upon them in frantic eff.
forts to escape. Among the occupants
OF the stalls were the grandson of the
marquis of Havana, president of the
senate, and son of Marquis Gaudalct
The former was struck on the head by
u large piece of the falling ceiling and
sustained injuries that will cause his
death in II few hours The son of
Marquis Gaudaiet attempted to rush
from the building. but lost his footing
and the panic stricken crowd trampled
him to death. Seven other persons
were also trampled upon by the crowd
and seriously injured, while large
number of those who escaped unaided
from the building sustained painful but
not dangerous injuries.
tbs generally believed that the cx.
plosion was the work of anarchists
whose headquarters are at Barcelona.
1t is expected that .nulnbcr of arrests
Will be made in that city of men who
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. 1t has
been learned TINT prior to the explosion
a agentleman and two worlmen were
seen near the house of Senor
Canovas del Castillo. The gentle
man disappeared a few minutes
before the explosion occurred. 1t Is
believed that the workman who was
Killed by the explosion earned n num-
Der of bombs charged with dynamite
and large bullets. and that it was the
intention to distribute them in various
parts of tile city. That the bombs con-
tanned bullets is evidenced by the fact
that several of the buildings in the vi
cinity of the eXplos on show where the
lead tinttened itself against their walls.
1t is conjectured that the fuse of tho
bomb that first exploded burned much
more rapidly than the conspirators cal
tculated upon, and that the shock of the
explosion caused the bombs carried by
the workman to explode. blowing his
