Certainly this outcome offers very llttle

Insurance company, have been made. Dy-
Mantle cartridges were found on the
premises where Lopez was arrested.
Lopez says he received "A package of
cartridges from another Anarchist with
Instructions TO throw them at the moment
OF the passage Of the royal carriage in
yesterdays procession.
The discovery OF the plot against the
king is confirmed by the newspapers here.
Ii is now said that nine dynamite car
tridges were seized. Further arrests have
been made and the prisoners include six
medical students. printer, carpenter
and a mason.
The captured cartridges are being ana
lyzed by military authorities
According TO the newspapers here, the
police had an inkling of an Anarchist
plot against the king since last March,
and in April they discovered an Anar-
chist meeting place in fashionable quar-
ter of Madrid
Three Andalusian Anarchists arrived
here May 2 and were arrested shortly
after their arrival.
After these arrests IL was learned that

which Is situated in the Carrera San
Geronimo, on the route Of yesterdays

OF Deputies, had a number of cartridges,
believed to be of dynamite, In his pos
session. This man was arrested at 3
o'clock Saturday morning. Gabriel Lopez,
the doorkeeper, sis a man OF middle age.
He was examined before magistrate

The bomb exploded permaturely, Ruiz
was killed. and Suraez was badly injured
He was committed TO prison for seven
years, and has only recently been liber-
ated. Lopez was confronted yesterday
with Suraez and accused the latter with
giving him the dynamite cartridges. This
Suraez denied and both men are detained.
Four other men have been arrested in
connection with the affair and none OF
them deny being Anarchists.
According TO the Heraldo some vaci-
lation was shown by certain men who re-
