A DYNAMITE OUTRAGE
PART OF BUILDING WRECKED
CHARGED TO BLACK HAND"

NEW YORK, October IA charge OF
grocery store of Antonio Garbalvo 13 Stan
ton street, on the east side, at an early
hour this morning, wrecked the lower half
of the front building, shattered the win
dows in the tenements above and threw
into a panic hundreds of tenants in the
immediate neighborhood. Windows in the
tenement building at 16 Stanton street, op-
posite, were also broken. No one was seri-
ously injured, though some slight bruises
and cuts were received in the hurry of the
frightened tenants to escape from their
homes following their sudden awakening.
The outrage is believed by the police to
have been directed against Barbalvo who,
with his two sisters, occupies the living
rooms at the rear of his store. Garbalvo a
week ago received BLACK Hand letter
demanding $1,000 from him. He turned the
letter over to the police, who have since
been attempting to identify the author.
The building, of which Garbalvo occupied
the first floor, is six stories, the upper floors
being occupied as tenements by score OF
families. The only clue found at once by
the police was furnished by John OHara,
who described himself a waiter. OHara
said he was passing through Stanton street
shortly after o'clock when he met boy
about sixteen years of age. The lad ap-
peared to be foreigner, had his coat col
lar turned up about his neck and visor of
his cap. down over his eyes. After passing
him he turned for second to look at the
youth, who was then directly opposite u
Stanton street At the same moment he
heard and felt the explosion, which nearly
threw him to the sidewalk.
The monetary loss will not exceed $1,000

FLEET TO IMPRESS HIM
FRENCH TO FORCE cAsTRo's DE-
CISION IN VENEZUELAN MATTERS

PARIS, October 17,-The departure of the
armored cruiser Desaix from Cherbourg
yesterday for the Island of Martinique
French West Indies, inaugurates the prep
arations for dealing with the Venezuelan
question with a strong hand If President
Castro persists in his present course The
Desaix will stop at Brest, where she will
be Joined by the cruisers Lavoissier and
Chasseloup-Laubat. The three warships
VIII proceed together to the French West
Indies, joining the cruiser Jurien de la
Graviere and Troude. now at Martinique.
This will give. the division five ships, under
Admiral Bevoe de Lapeyrere. The rendez-
vous will be Fort de France, Martinique.
These preparations are precautionary, as
the officials here are still hopeful that
President Castro will make suitable
amends. Therefore no orders have been
issued concerning the nature of the ulti-
mate naval action against Venezuela, as
these await the assembling of the ships and
the result of the diplomatic negotiations.
Not Intended as Menace.
There is no desire here to have the as
sembling of the warships taken as men,
ace. On the contrary, the French authori-
ties are deferring the announcement of
their final plans until President Castro's
protracted inaction shows he is not willing
to make any amends.
1t is pointed out that President Castro's
withdrawal of his offensive action toward
NJ Taigney, the French charge daffaires,
and the presentation of a suitable expla-
nation would avert the necessity of France
adopting stronger means of persuasion.
The duration of the voyage to Fort de
France will be two weeks. There will be
time therefore for President Castro to make
explanations.
It is understood that the demonstration
If finally resorted to will take the form of
a blockade of Venezuelan ports.
