PARIS, Feb. 20.-The city of Paris ha:
been startled by another explosion, and,
the Hotel Terminus. this new evidence
of anarchist activity S considerable
excitement. The details of the affair,
as known to the police up to the hour oil
this dispatch, are as follows: A man OF
suspicious appearance recently hired q
furnished roo in a small tenement Or
hotel OF a modest description situated at
No. 60 Rue st. Jacques. So far as can
be ascertained. the suspicious-looking
tenant disappeared on or about Monday,
end, as he did not return last night, the
proprietor OF the hotel, Nine. Calabreisi,
knocked at the door, and finally
threatened to break down the door I'M
less it were opened. Nine. Calabreisi,
however, delayed carrying out her
intention of entering the apartment
until 1:30 this morning, when she again
tried to open the door, this time en-
ploying force. While engaged in this
task. the landlady became aware that
something had caught in the top of the
door, and upon closer exam lnatiOn she
found that it was TO all appearances a
bomb or all Internal machine. Nine.
CalabreiSi ran away from the door in
alarm and called her husband, who,
after making an inspection of the sup
posed bomb. called Il policeman, who

caused the bomb, shaped like a sardine
box of the largest size, to fall to the
floor, where it exploded, infiicting ter
rible injuries upon Nine. Calabreisi,
who was wounded in the abdomen, and
slightly wounded her husband.

the shock which he had sustained by
the explosion, he sent for assistance.
and Nine. Calabreisi and Nine. Isael
and others who were slightly wounded
were taken to the Hotel Dieu. the ia
nous hospital of Paris. In addition to
those already reported wounded, ii is
now added that all uncle of Nine. Gala
breisi was wounded severely by a bull
let from the bomb, which passed almost
through his body.
The police, as usual, are maintaining
great secrecy, and No. SO Rue st.
JACQUES is this morning in the hands of
police, who are making a thorough in
I V%estigatiOn. According to one theory,
the bomb was placed where it
was found by an anarchist ledger
who had a personal grudge against
Nj. and Mime. Calabreisi, and who was
aware that they would force open his
door as soon as they became convinced
that he had disappeared or that some
thing was wrong inside the apartment.
The explosion caused much damage
in the tenement, blowing out the
windows, crashing down the plastering
and doing other injury of a similar
nature.
This afternoon there was a renewal of
the excitement, caused by the finding of
another bomb. This time there was no
explosion. The second bomb was
found in the Hotel lie + E%Sperance, on
the Rue du Faubourg ST. Martin. l.
was found at 1880 a. M, and was
similar in shape and make to that one
which exploded early this morning in
the small hotel ON the Rue ST. Jacques.

was found in a manner similar to that

and the explosion of the first n this
morning. In the last case, however, the
bomb did not explode, and, upon being
found, the authorities were sent for,
and it was carefully taken to the mu.
nicipal laboratory, where it will be eX-
amined. The police are of opinion tina,

men, and 1t is not thought likely that
anarchists would attempt to injure this

suppositiOn Is that the two bombs left
in the two hotels mentioned were

else they were experimental affairs,
which were being tested by one or more

boulb scare of today show that the per-

"Ravally'' which announced that a
bomb had been placed in the Hotel de

the laboratory, but the latest news from
the hotel is that the secretary aud the
police officers were afraid to touch the
bomb, and were celebrating as to the
best means to take to remove 1t without

Some were III favor Of soaking the
bomb in a bucket of water, but nobody
appeared ready to volunteer to put il

was not adopted, as it was feared tina
