Attempt to BLOW up a Boston Hotel.

An attempt to blow up with dynamite the four
story brick apartment house, Hotel Hyland, in
the Roxbury district, was made Monday. The
dynamite, which is supposed to have been thrown
down the chimney, fell only one story instead Of
getting to the Easement. The damage was con-
badly wrecked and the chimney demolished.
Several persons were injured, though not serious
w. The police investigating found three unex-
ploded sticks eight inches in length on the roof.
They think the intention was that the bombs ex-
plode simultaneously, which would have surely
caused terrible destruction. No motive is known.

A Crisis in Cuba.

Prediction That Spain VIII Attack
the United States.
The Cubans in New York believe that a crisis
has been reached in the revolution, and that
should Gen. Weyler suffer defeat and be com.
PEELED to return to Havana the war would end.
One Of the Cuban leaders says: II believe that
Spain will attempt to precipitate a war with this
country because her own government al home is
threatened. II Spain loses Tuba without the in.
prevention Of he United States, 1t Ia certain that
the Carlsts IN Spain will rise, and as they number
about 2OOO 900 the result will be the overthrow Of
the present government and the accession to the
throne of Don Carlos, who is now In Paris waiting
for just such a move.
The Spanish officials realize this danger, and
the only way out Of the difficulty is to engage in
war with this country, which will give them an
excuse for losing the island, as they surely must
in such war"
