SUCH is THE REPORT FROM
BARCELONA.
But the Spanish Embassy In Lon
don Says There Has Been No
Bomb Thrown at the
Spanish King.

Madrid, April 7.-An official dis
patch from Barcelona says that as
King Alfonso was leaving the labor
exhibition there to-day bomb was
exploded. Two persons were in
jured. One arrest was made.
London, April THE Spanish
embassy has received kilograms de-
nying the report of an attempt upon
the life Of King Alfonso. The en-
bassy officers assert positively that
there is not word Of truth IN the
story.
King Alfonso arrived in Barcelona
yesterday for fortnight's visit, ac-
companied by Premier Maura and
General Linares, the minister Of war.
The kings plans to visit Barcelona,
which is hot bed of republicanism
had been worrying the authorities,
especially as he was to be attended
by Senor Maura, who incurred the
hatred of Republicans and Socialists
by his vigorous methods of dealing
with strike rioters. During the week
preceding the arrival of the king
many anarchists and other suspects
were arrested, and as further meas
ure ef pr9e ls:ssion three gunboats and
a large force of gendarmes were sent
to Barcelona.

were at last rewarded by an i'm
provement in the patients condi-
ton. His recovery afterwards be-
came rapid and by Sunday afternoon
it he was able to be out again.

Conservative Democrats as rule
were greatly pleased with the ap-
pearance of the letter. They think
it will have Strengthening influence
in behalf of the Parker boom in the
east, and especially in the doubtful
States, like Indiana and Illinois. AS
was to be expected, the rabid Bryan
ties were very much upset because
of Mr.. Cleveland's utterance and
some of them about the capitol en-
gagged in very strong talk to the dis
paragement of the New York judge.
Hearstites were also inclined to get
excited, but there are SO few of them
that they attracted little attention.
