LONDON, Aug. 90 The Standard q
correspondent at Rome reports that a
panic was caused among the patrons of
the Pancaldi sea. bathing establish.
ment, near Lsghorn, last evening by
the explosion of bomb in one Of the
dressing rooms. The building was
partly shattered, and several bathers
were slightly injured. The excitement
in Leghorn over the outrage is great.
The city is filled with summer visi-
tors, and among them the feeling of
alarm is especially keen. What the
motive OF the miscreant was, or who
he was. cannot be conjsotured. No
suspicious person was observed in the
vicinity of the bathing pavilion. The
bomb was enclosed in metallic case,
which was not tightly closed. Had it
been so, the effects of its explosion
would have been much worse.

Honolulu, Aug. 2O.-Before the de-
