BARCELONA, Nov. S-A dynamit.
bomb, thrown by anarchists into the
midst of crowded theater, Is the latest
outrage and disaster in Spain. The Liceo
theater, magnificent building, the lar
gems of Its kind In Europe, was filled last
night with a distinguished audience, es-
timated to,number 1000, the opera "Wll-
liam Teil' being given. While the per
torrance was in progress two dynamite
bombs were hurled from the topmost gall
lery into the midst of the stalls. One
exploded with detonatlon which shook
the building to the foundations and scat
tered death and destruction on every side.
The second bomb fell into the lap of q
lady, and rolled thence barmlessly to the
floor A scene OF confusion and terror
followed. The audience rose TO Its feet
in panic, scarcely realizing what had
happened, whileth building rang with
cries of pain. shrieks of fear, and excla-
nations OF vengeance. The terror and
panic increased as the audience>rnom
filled with smoke and dust from the fall
ing plaster, with broken glass falling OF
the panic stricken audience adding to
the number of wounded After mo-
ment of pqralyzing terror fears of other
bombs being thrown ovcrcame all rea-
son, and the audience made mad rush
for the exits, women and children receiv.
ing no consideration in the fierce strug d,
gle, and being trampled beneath the feet
and crushed and left with the other
wounded and dying behind them as they
sought the open air. Only few Of the
braver ones renamed behind to care for
the loved ones lying helpless and bleed
ing on the floor. When the gorged exits
were finally cleared, horrible sight was
| presented TO those who mustered enough
courage Ia return 70 the rescue of those
| unable to help themselves The stalls
| where the bomb exploded was mass of
| spilntered wreckage. amid which lay a
large number of drad hod;es some man..
gled beyond recognition. When the
| wreckage was finally cleared away, Is
bodies were revealed, SIX men and nine
women. all frigbtfully torn and disfig-
ured Most of them were mombers of
one family, who. it is supposed, formed
CAV iheater party in honor of the birth
day of one of their number. In the stalls
adjoining, groaniug with pain, lay many
ladies and gentlemen, wounded by frag-
ments of the bomb, splinters of wood,
pieces of glass and bits of iron. Several
were so seriously hurt they cannot re-
cover Attention was next turned to the
exits and stairwsys, where the terrible
crush following the explosion occurred
Here three dead and large number of
wounded were picked up. Physicians
were hastily summoned 10 care for the
wounded. while the bodies of the dead
were tenderly raised and removed from
the building. Among the dead is an
American named Figueras. and his wife
was wounded Great crowds surrounded
the theater all night The utmost con-
sternatiop prevails over the evident in
ability of the government to cope with
the situation. 1he bombthrower escaped.
The police are making general round
up OF anarchists in hopes OF getting some
clew to the bastard who threw the bomb.
The missile which did not explode is the
exact counterpart ol those used by Pal
emas, the anarchistswho tried to assass-
mate General Martinez Campos.
