THE RUSSIAN RULER.
Huge Bomb Concealed in a Basket Of
Fruit Carried To Tsarskoe.Selo
BY Two Terrorists.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 27.-An attempt
to kill the czar was frustrated only
through the vigilance of two of the inn
perial guards at the Tsarskoe-Selo pal.
ace. simultaneously with the blowing
up of Premier Stolypin's palace two
men succeeded In forcing an entrance
into the courtyard of the imperial res
idence One of the men carried huge
bomb concealed in a basket of fruit
and both were armed Their actions
aroused the suspicious of several of
the palace guards. who placed the two
men under arrest. When they were
searched the instrument of death was
discovered and they were placed in
solitary confinement.
one of the men was first seen inside
the palace grounds by a sentry, who
halted him and questioned him close.
iy The man gave a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of his presence there, but
shortly after he acted so suspiciously
that the sentry placed him under ar.
rest. The prisoner then attempted to
signal to his accomplice. who was
found behind tree carefully holding
the deadly basket of fruit. An exam
ination OF the men at the Offices of the
secret police disclosed the fact that
they were from Moscow and were
known to be in sympathy with the Ter.

girl entered. leaped upon a bench, and
taking careful aim. emptied a revolver
at Gen. Min. Every shot took effect

side and breast as he wheeled in the
direction of his assailant.
The crime was highly tragic Gen
Minis children screamed with terror
and clung to him as he reeled and fell
The generals wife was the coolest
person in the station. She made q
dash for the girl. seized her by the
hair and dragged her to the floor. She
held the struggling prisoner until
guards came to relieve her.
Then the girl, wid-eyed and dishevel-

Inform of Guns and Men
to Come to Cuba.
BANDERA KILLED
The Cuban insurgents Lose One OF
Their Most Daring Leaders
Captured Another Town.

Havana, Cuba.-Font Sterling, sec.
retary of the treasury, late Thursday
night cleared up in a statement to the
Associated Press a misleading an
nouncement made at the palace last
night to the effect that the Cuban
government had asked the United
States government for eight rapid
fire guns manned by American artil-
lerymen to be used in the suppression
Of the insurrection. The facts are,
according to the secretary. that the
government has ordered from an
American arms manufacturing COM
pany four rapid fire guns and that
these pieces will be manned by former
members of the artillery branch of
the American army now here.
The killing of the insurrectionary
leader Gen. Quentin Bandera, in an
engagement Thursday between rural
guards and band of his followers is
regarded as dealing the insurrection
q heavy blow. The government is
acting with energy in sending rural
guards and volunteers against the
santa Clara rebels and in sending 150
more men to defend Pinar Del Rio
against Pine Guerra. The capture of
San Juan de Martinez by Guerra's
band was not great surprise, though
II was not expected to occur so soon.
The place was protected by very
small detachment of rural guards,
while Guerra's strength was much
greater.
The taking of Pinar Del Rio will
be quite another matter, since there
are in that vicinity twice as many
troops as the insurgent Pine Guerra
can muster. IL is regarded as more
than probable that the troops will
take the offensive and IL possible
draw Guerra into an open fight.
While government reinforcements
are going forward. Guerra's following
is not believed to have been geatly
augmented by his occupation of the
two Nuelta Abajo towns.
Public opinion appears to vary ac-
cording to locality, from enthusiastic
adherence to the government to re.
bellion. In this city the general at
titude Is one of loyalty. The opposi-
tion and independent newspapers
discuss with analytical coldness the
cry that II the government is not able
TO squelch the insurrection within
two months. other forceful means
must be employed for the restoration
OF peace.
General Manager Livesey, of the
Western railroad, received a message
Thursday from Pine Guerra, forward
ed from San Juan De Martinez, say
ing: Il am in possession of your
station. If any more troops are sent
over the Western railroad | will blow
up the bridges and destroy your
property"
The government has not made
public the news of the capture of San
Juan De Martinez by insurgents. The
editor of the Post, which paper pub.
lished an extra containing the news,
was summoned before Gov. Nunez
and censured for exciting the public
by publishing sensational news un,
favorable to the government. Gov.
Nunez declared that he would recon.
mend to President Palma the estab-
lishment of a censorship. The news
papers OF Havana do not believe that
President Palma will approve of such
move, as despite constant flood of
rumors the newspapers have pub
lished only facts.

PLOTTfRS ARRESTED.
A Fine Catch Made by Secret Service
Men In New York.

New York.-On charge Of
making dies to counterfeit the sill
YER dollar of Venezuela to finance a
revolution in that country, secret
service officers on Wednesday arrest
ed Capt. George Bovnton. former resi-
dent manager of the Orinoco Corpora
ton, of Venezuela. and Lewis M.
Thompson, an attorney. both of this
city. Both prisoners we're admitted to
bail in $4,000.
Joseph Keller and Sidney A. Kel-
Ter, of Keller Bros, die makers, were
also arrested in connection with the
case.
So important did the federal au-
thorities regard the arrests that Chief
Wilkie, of the secret service, came
over from Washington to be on the
ground when the men were appre-
hended. With Chief Will1ie was the
secretary of the Venezuelan legation.
Boynton, 1t is said, has been for
years the local manager of the ORR
noco Concession, capitalized at $4,000
600 and controlling practically the en-
tire Orinoco delta. II is charged that
when Boynton came to New York In
June to get the alleged revolution on
foot he undertook to put in operation
plan similar to that whereby the
revolution against Dem Pedro in Bra
I'll was said to have been financed,
that of getting dies, buying bullion
and turning out what silver coin was
necessary. Later If the. movement
proved successful. the issue could be
legalized; If unsuccessful. no one
would be injured, il was argued, as
the coins were to be made of the same
fineness as those regularly ccined by
the government.
