Barcelona. June THE anarchists have
resumed their activity in this city, and
much fear is entertained that they viii
.Haugurate another reign of terror sim
liar 10 that which prevailed in 1892 and
1888. when there were many explosions
here. in Madrid and other Spanish cities.
At 8 o'clock tonight a bomb was eN-
p.oded while a religious procession was
taking place and six persons were killed
and twenty-four wounded.
The outrage has caused the greatest
excitement. The authorities held meet
solved 20 take energetic measures TO dis
cover the author of the crime and 10
prevent further 0utrages.
Inis is the second outrage, or attempted
outrage, within few days During re-
ligiOus procession on the feast Of Corpus
Christi bomb was found IN a dust heap
near the cathedral. Il was evidently the
Intention OF those who placed the bomb
where it was found 10 kill or main some
Of those taking part i'm the procession.
A number OF anarchists have been ar
rested but as yet there is no positive
proof that any of them caused the explo-
k is not known what explosive the
bomb contained but judging from its ef-
fects it must have been very powerful
The captain general of the province Of
Barcelona acted as standard bearer in
and the city alcalde held the streamers Of
Tie banner. ii is thought that the de-
sisners Of the outrage contemplated kill
ing these officials.
AT a late hour tonight the police had
not discovered any clue to the actual au-
rh0rs of the crime, but the number of sUs-
poets who have been lodged in jail is
quite large. The police think that they
perhaps will be able to eaten those re-
sponsible for the crime through the con-
isssion OF some of the anarchists who
have been arrested. This. however, ap-
pears to be a very slight hope
The procession was in connection with
the Corpus Christi festival. The bomb
Was throw Wnen the pr0cesslQnlsts were
entering the church Of Santa Maria, and
t1e people were panic stricken by the
explosion and its effects. Those already
u the church made Wld rush TO get
outside, while many of those on the out
side scattered and fled IN every direction.
While some Of the priests present did
everything in their power TO allay the
settlement, others administered the last
rites Of the church to those Of the in
jured who seemed likely to die Quite a
large crowd was witnessing the process
siOn and the man who threw the deadly
missile effected his escape in the excite
ment 1t ifs reported that some people
who were standing close to him nave
furnished the police with a description
af him, ami hopes are entertained that
he VIII soon be in custody.
Madrid, June 1.-Two dynamite cart
ridges exploded tonight outside a house
occupied by a priest at Orendain. near
ST. Sebastian, province of Guipuzcoa. The
house and other buildings in the vicinity
were badly damaged, but nobody was
