bled on the curb of the sidewalk and
bomb which he was carrying in his
pocket exploded, killing the workman.
both detectives and injuring several
persons who were passing by. The bono
was intended for Gov. Gen. Maximo-
witch, who was expected to pass the spot
on his way to the cathedral to attend
the service in honor of the czar's birth
day.
Bodies Blown to Pieces.
The bodies of the victims were liter
ally blown to pieces. A cafe near the
scene of the explosion was entirely de-
molished, all the windows in the neigh
borhood were smashed and lamp post
was torn out of the ground.
The first report was to the effect that
a bomb had been thrown among local
officials who were on their way to or re-
turning from the cathedral and caused
intense excitement. Later it was stated
that only the workman and two detec-
tives were killed, though two passers-
by were severely injured and others
slightly hurt by the fragments of the
bomb. When correspondent of the
press reached the scene the mutilated
remains were still lying in the roadway,
portions OF them being on the sidewalk
20 yards distant. The roadway was cov-
cred with debris.
a Intended for Governor General.
The authorities are convinced that the
bomb was intended for the governor
general. It now develops that he was
attending the services at the cathedral
which is situated at the corner of Dluga
and Miodowa streets, few yards from
the scene of the explosion. All the high
officials and members of Russian soci-
ETY. here also were present. The gov
srnor general had recently been threat,
0ened with bomb attack, particularly
since the May-day disturbances. The
police accordingly exercise the great
est vigilance whenever he leaves the
castle. After the officials had entered
the cathedral detectives observed a
poorly dressed man lettering on Miodo-
wa street. When the man saw the de-
tectives he ran toward the entrance of
confectioners store, when he either
tripped or threw the bomb backward
at the detectives. The explosion oc-

sacks, who were hastily summoned. soon
cleared the streets, and the governor
general drove by another route to the
castle.
Over Score Injured.
The number injured by the explosion
is %, including three women, one stu
dent and two schoolboys One of the
latter is detained at the police sta
tiOn, having been noticed warning
people against going into Miodowa
street. Many reports are in circula-
fion of strangers having stopped poor
1y-dressed persons going in that d.
rection. Shop keepers assert that the
street was unusually empty at the
time CT the explosion.
Fridays outrage is the sixth of SIM
liar character in Warsaw since the
January disturbances. The editors of
Polish papers here have decided to
publish tomorrow, if the censor will
permit it, strong articles denouncing
such attacks.
The man who was carrying the bomb
has now been identified as a Polish
shoemaker named Dobrowolski, a
member of the violent section of the
socialists. Latest reports state that
the detectives were in the act of ar
resting Dobrowolski when the bomb
exploded and all three were killed. A
revolver and bundle of papers were
found in Dobrowolski's pocket Many
arrests have been made since the ex-
Slosion and the police are now busy
making domiciliary searches 1t is
stated that Gov. Gen. Maximovitch
recently received an anonymous letter
threatening that as he had allowed
men, women and children to be shot
down on May day, so he would be
killed with his wife and children the
writer adding that even remaining
within the castle would not save them
from that fate.
