a sANoUINARY SPECTACLE
One of the wOuId-Be ReEicides Cap
tured Az He Attempted to Flee
From the House whence the
Bomb Was Thrown, Another
Escaping Over House
Roofs.

Madrid - The public rejoicings
over the marriage OF King Al
fonso XIII. and the Princess Victoria
had a terribly dramatical sequel at
$3.50 o'clock Thursday afternoon, as q
bomb thrown from an upper window
exploded with deadly erect near the
coach occupied by the king and queen.
Providentially, King Alfonso and
Queen Victoria escaped when an cleo
trio wire detected the bomb. but at
least 16 persons, most of them be-
longing to the personal and military
escort, were killed. Many others were
injured. The following are the killed:
The BOmb-ThrOweF's Victims.
Capt. Barrosa, commanding part of
the kings escort.
Lieut.. Reysient.
Lieut.. Prendergast.
Six soldiers.
The marquise of Colosa and her
daughter.
Don Antonio Calvo and his niece,
aged six years.
Jose Sofa, 70 years Of age.
Louis Fonseca.
One royal groom, who was leading
one of the horses drawing the coach
carrying the king and queen.
Several of those killed were stand
ing on the balcony of the house from
which the bomb was thrown.
The Explosion.
The explosion occurred Just as the
doyal couple had nearly arrived at
palace. The route of the cortege had
been diverted from Arsenal street to
Mayor street, owing to the popular de-
sire. The procession had just passed
through Mayor street and was about
to turn into the esplanade leading to
the palace when an explosion shook
the buildings in the vicinity, stunning
large number of people and throw.
ing the cortege into inextricable con-
fusion.
Brought To q Sudden stop.
The royal coach was brought to a
sudden stop by the shock, officers and
soldiers of the escort falling to the
ground about the equerry and horses
that had been killed. The screams of
the terrified multitude mingled with
the groans of the dying. It was imme-
diately seen that the royal coach was
intact, except as 1t had been damaged
by flying splinters. King Alfonso i'm
mediately alighted and assisted Queen
Victoria out of the carriage. They
then entered another coach and were
driven swiftly to the palace.
All Happened So Quickly.
All this happened so quickly that
people away from the immediate Vi
entity were not aware of the tragedy
and continued to acclaim their SOW
ereigns. Soon, however, there ap.
peared the empty royal coach with
two horses missing and the others
spattered with blood.

A Horrible Spectacle.
The scene of the tragedy presented
a horrid spectacle with men and
horses lying about, literally torn to
pieces. Intense excitement prevailed,
the mob invading the streets while
the forces OF the guards sought to
maintain order and block the APP
proaching streets. The bodies were
wrapped up In blankets and removed
on filters, while the wounded were
taken to hospitals In ambulsncss. The
pavement was literally covered with
blood, and the upper stories of the
buildings nearest were spattered with

One Man Captured, Another Escapes.
When the police surrounded the
house one man attempted to Zee, but
was captured. Another man escaped
over the roofs OF houses.
One OF the injured proved to be q
son-in-law of Premier Moore's private
secretary. According to an official
statement, It is not known whether
one or more bombs were thrown. The
statement declares that It is impossi-
BILE to ascertain at present the author
of the outrage, although It is known
that a Catalonian named Manual Du.
ran took an apartment in the house
from which the bomb was thrown, May

bill. He was well dressed, of elegant
appearance, and showed a fondness
for flowers.
American Envoy Calls At Palace.
Frederick w. Whiteridge, the Amer
lean special envoy, went to the royal
palace late Thursday afternoon. where
he was assured that the king and
queen were reasonably tranquil, con-
sidering the circumstances. The duke
OF Sotomayor was entering the palace
at the time Mr.. Whlteridge was there,
thus showing that his wounds are not
serious. Mr.. Whiteridge also called at
the foreign office, and on behalf of the
United States, expressed profound
sympathy with the Spanish soVereIgns
and people.

HINTS FOR ORATORS.
How 90 Make n speech Before Public
Audfe1cea


When In the course of human events
II becomes necessary to get up and
make a speech do not forget that pub
lie speaking is good conversation.
Don't yell and. therefore. talk over che
heads OF your auditors. Do not talk
ut them but TO them. When practical
BILE a good idea is to scan the faces OF
your hearers, beginning at the front
on your left and proceeding from left
to right, back and forth, until you
have observed the occupant OF the last
seat on your right in the rear OF your
audience. People are lattered by the
speaker noticing them. Besides, II
helps to hypnotic" your audience.
Gesture is the only universal Ian
guage. Combined with the language
OF countenance it is understood by the
entire world, for II is the language OF
nature. Prepare a few sentences with
appropriate gestures. and your audi
ence will believe you to be past mas
ter I'm the art OF gesticulation- To thrill
an audience you must arrange SEN
fences and accompanying gestures so
that both at the same time shall reach
ONE elONUenGe.
On stepping to the front OF the plat
form have a full breath as you greet
your audience. Surely never meet II
with all your batteries run out. The
most eminent orators and actors slim
ulate their emotional nature by daily
drill IN vocal exercises. A good prac-
tice is the repeating OF the alphabet
and its various sounds In different
tones, pitch and force. Constant prac-
tice clears and strengthens the vocal
powers. as observed I'm newsboys, train
callers and auctioneers, says Elmer f.
Rogers, well known Chicago lawyer.
In the Chicago Tribune.
The most difficult OF all oratory is
the campaign political speech. and ho
on whom the politicians agree as
FIRST class "spellblndcr'' may by prep
aration put up a good speech on any
topic.
Outdoor speaking is perplexing. as In
the attempt 10 reach all hearers the
speaker is liable 10 pitch his voice too
high. which then does not carry so well
as a more natural tone. II convenient
speak toward the noise or music.
The less speaker knows the longer
IL takes him 70 say It. Therefore cut
your speeches short
Public speaking is n profession. Ami
nal food promotes eloQuence, and tho
orator ought 20 have a good sleep Just
before his appearance to speak. No
one except a political candidate is
obliged TO shake hands and accept hos
pitality. Avoid this physical drain be-
fore speaking
The orator OF today must be stu
dent reader thinker and writer. In
olden times the orator was a dissemina-
tor Of knowledge. but now the public
itself is quite well informed.
