HAVANA, Oct. 81, via Key West, Oct. 2s.-
Two dynamite bombs exploded on Tuesday in
tho neighborhood of FL Corro, Havana city.
Tho bombs did some damage to barracks occu.
pied by Spanish soldiers, but neither killed nor
wounded anybody. 1t is generally believed
that the explosion was caused by Cubans merely
to warn the Spanish volunteers not to carry out
their threats of committing murder during tho
proposed demonstration in favor of Gen. Wcy-
Ter. There is no doubt that II the volunteers
repeat their butChcrics OF 1869 some conspicu-
Gus Spaniards will be killed bv the Cubans in
retaliation, and Havana will fall into n state OF
anarchy in which the foreign residents will be
impcrillci.
Only fear OF Cuban revenge Is likely to pro-
vent rapine and murder by the volunteers on
tho dcfcnceless native families living in the
capital. The report that tho Government Of
Senior Sagasta, in order to prevent those out
RACES, intends to discharge the volunteers and
disarm them, is not credited here by the pco-
pie, who know the relations which the Spanish
Governments have always maintained with
tho savage mob officially styled 'the most
patriotic Institution Of Volunteers Of Havana"
