The servants refused them admis

the terrorist, disguised as gendarme
dropped a bomb, which exploded, de
stroying the anteroom, the adjoining
} guardroom, part of the reception room
and also the balcony of the frs
floor. The tremendous force of tn
explosion absolutely blew out tn
front of the premier's residence an

pieces. Those who were not kille

inside his study at the rear of tn
salon to speak to Prince Shakovsk,
Although he is but slightly injured, b
l is completely Frustrated by the CT
lamity.
The havoc wrought by the explosio
is indescribable. Bodies were so tor
or mangled as to make identificatio
impossible, some of them headles
/ armless, legless, lying among tn
= blood dripping wreckage. Pieces
i flesh and clothing hung to the sha
