MADRID. June 21.-The greatest excite
ment prevails as the result OF the dyna-
mite 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
building near by in which a circus per
formance was in progress, causing
panic. The grandson of the MARQUIS OF
Havana, President of the Senate, was hit
by piece Of falling ceiling, and so badly
hurt that he will die. The son of the
Marquis of Getadelest was trampled to
death by the panic-stricken throng. Seven
others were severely hurt in the crush.
and large number were less seriously
hurt
1t is believed the explosion was the
work of Barcelona dynamiters, the revo-
Iutlonists there being very active of late.
A number of arrests. it is raid, will be
made chiefly among men employed in
printing offices devoted to the publication
OF anarchistic documents. Many of these,
closed year ago during the anarchists
troubles, have been reopened, and flooded
the industrial sections with blood and fire
literature.
1t was learned that prior to the explo-
sion gentleman and two workmen were
seen near the house of Castillo. The gen.
tIeman disappeared a few minutes 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

various parts Of the city. That the bombs
contained bullets is evidenced by the
fact that several buildings in the vicinity
show where the lead fattened itself
against the walls.
1t is believed that the conjectured fuse
on the bomb that first exploded burned
much more rapidly than the conspirators
calculated and that the shock of the ex-
plosion caused the bombs carried by the
workman to explode, blowing his body
into fragments. The dead man was a
printer. Anarchist documents belonging
to the Well-known anarchist Ernest AL
varez were found in his pockets. 1t is
believed he was the victim Of his own
diaboIical designs, none other than his
foe of law and order. 4 letter dated at
recipient to use the utmost caution in
carrying out the plans intrusted to him.
Alvarez was previously arrested for
connection with anarchist plots, but man
aged to escape conviction. Several an
archists printers have been arrested on
suspicion Of being implicated in the plot.
The man arrested after the explosion with
his leg broken and his scalp torn, turns
out to be a common laborer. He refuses
to say anything.
Extra guards have been stationed about
the public places and every precaution
taken to prevent another outrage.
The wounded accomplce 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 anarch-
lists have been arrested in this city and
seventeen in Barcelona for completely n
