Over the Bomb Explosion.

CONSTANTIOPLE, Aug. IS. = The

explosions, attempted or accomplished,
this afternoon at three different places.

Armenians. The police have made a
number of arrests.

ing is part of a widespread plot. The
most abject terror prevails in the pre-
cincts of the palace.

larly in the vicinity of the police head
quarters, all the shops were closed, and
it was necessary to call out the entire
police force and the military before any
thing like calm was restored. The Ar
menian who was arrested at the Otto-
man Imeprial Bank was trying to place
the bundle of explosives near one of
the main entrances
