By Bomb Thrown at Russian
Premier Sto|ypin.
BUILDING is SHATTERED
Assassins Gained Entrance to Resi-
dence Through Intrigue-Bodies
Of Victims Literally Torn
to Pieces.

A St. Petersburg special says:
thirty-five persons were killed and
twenty-fouc wounded as result of an
attempt Saturday afternoon to assassi-
nate Premier Stolypin with bomb
while he was holding public recep-
tion at hi: country home at Apte-
karsky island. The premier was slight
ly wounded in the face and neck by
flying splinters.
Among the dead is General Zamea-
tin, the premier's personal secretary;
M. Khovostof, former governor OF tie
province of Penza; Colonel Fedoron,
commander of the premier's personal
guard: Court Chamberlain Davidof,
Court Chamberlain Veronin and Aide
Doubassof and four women and chill
dren.
The wounded include NJ. Stolypin's
15-year-old daughter and his three.
year-old son. and a number OF per-
sons prominent in the social and OF
fetal worlds.
OF the four conspirators who en-
gineered the outrage, two were killed
with their victims, while the third,
who acted as coachman for the party,
and the fourth, who remained inside
the carriage, were badly wounded, and
are now in the st. Peter and st. Paul
fortress.
Whether the assassins who entered
the crowded reception hall threw the
bomb or accidentally dropped it, prob
ably never will be known, as all the
immediate eye witnesses were killed.
The tremendous force of the explo-
sion absolutely blew out the front OF
the premier's residence and carried
away the ceilings above and the floors
beneath, and the walls Of the adjoin-
ing rooms.
People were literally blown to
pieces. Those who were not instant
ly killed were horribly manned or
lacerated, and I'll the others present
were Frustrated by the shock
Two more persons injured by the
explosion died during the night, bring
ing the total number Of deaths up
to thirty-five. Twenty-six persons
were instantly killed.
It appears that the assassins were
well supplied with. funds. They paid
s125 In advance for the rooms they
engaged. Before leaving these apart
merts they disguised themselves and
made the house porter drunk
Young Girl an Assassin.
Saturdays unsuccessful attempt on
the life of Premier Stolypin, with its
sickening, useless slaughter Of thirty
two persons, was followed Sunday
night by another revolutionary outrage
in which General Min, commander Of
the Seminovsky Guard regiment, was
killed on the station platform at Peter
hof by young woman, who fired five
shots into his body from an automatic
revolver, and then, without resistance,
submitted to arrest.

and the other resulted in the capture
of San Juan de Martinez by the rebel

When asked about the rumor that

asserted:

PALMA TO OFFER AMNESTY.
Cuban President Anxious to Effect
Peace Without Bloodshed.

The anxiety Of President Palma Of
Cuba to extend every possible oppor-
tunity for peace without bloodshed
and his desire to permit those who
joined the insurrection under misguid-
ance to repent, has led to considera-
tion by the president and his cabi-
net of a project decreeing thirty
day amnesty period, during which the
insurrectionists are invited to lay
down their arms and return to their
peaceful pursuits.

May Appeal % United States.

May ASScdl ~ SiheOA SsosSSs
Lively interest in the outcome OF
the political disturbance in Cuba Is
evinced in New York city, which has
not only harbored from time to time
many. of her prominent men, but is
bound to the island republic by ever
Strengthening commercial ties. Ad-
vices to local business houses from
Havana insist that the revolt has not
yet assumed alarming proportions, but
tend to qualify the official assurances
that the government has the situation
thoroughly in hand. 1t is believed that
the next few days will demonstrate
whether the present uprisings may be
disnifed by the term rebellion or
to be classed with the sporadic outlaw
ry with which the government has al
ready successfully coped. The active
loyalty of many Cubans of influence
Is. admittedly in doubt. To what ex-
tent, if any, the sentiment for annex
alton to the United States figures In
the unrest and what stand the Amer
leans in the Isle of Pines will take
has awakened considerable specula-
tion.
Unsuccessful efforts to quiet the dis
turbances are told of in dispatch
dated Wednesday and received Thurs
day morning. The dispatch says that
eighty veterans of the revolution met
Tuesday and in a resolution pledged
themselves to use their personal in1u'
eace to bring the strike to bloodless
termination.
John S. Fiske of the firm of J. NJ.
Ceballos Co.. Cuban-American. bank
ers, said that the cable dispatches
received by his firm from Havana In
dicate that there was no need for
alarm at present. He added:
IF President Palma finds that his
government is unable to cope with
the situation he will call upon the
United States for aid. That woulo
mean pacification and then annexa-
ton. In any. country governed by white
men it is natural consequence that
the negroes will be to a certain ;ex-
tent kept in the background. That Is
what happened in Cuba and Is the
cause Of the insurrection."
:, Colonel Carlos. NJ. Aguirre, veter-
an of the last revolution in Cuba, who
apparently is the leading spirit among
the Cuban-Americans in New York,
who are opposed to the Palma re-
gfme, has drafted letter addressed
to President Roosevelt, after he has
obtained the signatures of several
Americans who hold property In the
] island, asking the United States to in
tervene. This letter calls attention
to the many wrongs alleged to have
been suffered by the liberals at the
hands of the government which be

ent uprising. 1t calls on President
Roosevelt to appoint by the authority
of the terms Of the. Platt amendment,
