on the balcony Of the house from which
the bomb was thrown.
The scene in the vicinity Of the ex-

dense crowds pressed in upon them
causing indescribabls confusion. Sol
diers occupied all the streets leading
to the locality, making 1t almost i'm
possible to reach the spot from a dis

correspondent was on the scene soon
after the explosion and received an
account of the affair from the Duke OF
Veragua, and Colonel Rafael de Chague

to take another.
The bomb was thrown from above

PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE
Arbitration One of the Subjects to Be
Considered at Rio Janeiro.

Washington, April 5.-The program
OF subjects to be considered by the
pan-American conference, which
meets at Rio Janeiro in July, was
unanimously approved by the bureau
of American republics. This pro-
gram was prepared by committee, OF
which Secretary Root is chairman.
and included the ambassadors from
Brazil and Mexico, and the ministers
from Costa Rica, Chile, Cuba and the
Argentine republic.
Probably the most interesting OF
the subjects are embraced in resolu-
tions affirming the adherence of the
American republics to the principle OF
arbitration for the settlement of dis
putes arising between them, with an
expression of hope that the coming
Hague conference will agree upon a
general arbitration convention; also
a resolution recommending that The
Hague conference be requested to
consider the extent to which the use
of force for the collection of public
debts is admissible.
