Panic at a Circus.

=
Great excitement prevails throughou
rid in consequence of the dastardly att
on the night of the Goth to blow up ~
dynamite the residence of Senior Conoyas d. :
Castillo, late prime minister. Though ths>
occupants OF the residence of the ex-premier
escaped unhurt, the explosion was the csuss
OF the death Of one person, the fatal injurH
of another and wounding Of several others
At the time of the explosion performances
was being given at circus short distance
from the residence of Senior Conoyas Del
Castillo. The shock was so great that II
caused part of the ceiling directly over the
seats that were occupied by party OF nob,esl
to crash down upon the heads of the occp-
pants. Blinded by the dust that filled tho mir
and the roar of the explosion still reverberat-
ng through the building, the people we're
panic-stricken, and made rush for she
exits, paying no attention to those who were
unlucky enough to stumble and fall, but
tramping upon them in frantic efforts to c.
cape. Among the occupants of the stxgeA
was the grandson of the Marquis of Havana,
president of the Senate, and son of MarquiE
Gaudelst. The former was struck on the
head by large piece Of falling ceiling and
sustained injuries. The son of Marquis
Gaudelst attempted to rush from the build
ing, but lost his footing and the panic
stricken crowd trampled him to death. His
body was later removed from the building
His face was hardly recognizable. 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 dan
gerous injuries.
1t has been learned that prior to the explo-
sion a gentleman and two workmen were seen
near the house Of Senior Canovas del Castillo
The gentleman disappeared few moments
before the explosion occurred. 1t is believed
that the workman who was killed by the cx-
plosion carried q number of bombs charged
with dynamite and large bullets, and that IL
was bis intention to distribute them in yari-
Gus parts OF the city. That the bombs con-
tanned bullets is evidenced by the fact that
some of the buildings in the vicinity of the
explosion show where the lead hattenei itself
against their walls. 1t is conjectured that tho
fuse of the bomb that exploded burned much
more rapidly than the conspirators had caicsi-
lated upon, and that the shock of the explo-
sion caused the bombs carried BY the work
man TO explode blowing his body into frag-
ments The dead man was printer
Anarchist papers and documents belonging
to wellknown anarchist named Ernesto
\ Alvarez were found in the pockets of the
| clothing that was left on the horribly mutt
lated trunk, and it is believed that the victim
I of his own diabolical designs was none other
\ than this foe of law and order
! The wounded accomplice OF the dead bomb
thrower has made partial confession. Under
pressure from the police the man, whoee
name is Suarcz, admitted that the dead raan
was an anarchist named Ruiz and that he
carried at the time of the explosion bottle
| containing gunpowder and shot. Five more
anarchists have been arrested in this city and
seventeen In Barcelona for completely in the
| bomb throwing.
