 are beginning to believe that twt

 exploded simultaneously with onl. one vivid flash. The scenes whicl followed was like that witnessed ol battlefield. Corpses, pools O blood and wreckage were strewet upon the ground, the front of tht house, No SS Calle Mayor, before which the explosion occurred, wa. covered with holes and blood drippet from the curtains of window oa tht first floor. In the apartment of ths Duke of Ahumada the Marchiones: Tolosa and her daughter were killed One body was damned in the bal cony railing and was removed with difficulty No S8 Calle Mayor and al the nearby houses were surrounded by police, who prevented ingress oi egress until they had been thorough ly searched. A tenant on the third floor and a young man who was leav- ing. the house were among those ar. rested. The crowd tried to lynch the prisoners and the police only pre-. vented 1t by charging. Numbers of people hurried to the scene to seek news of relatives, but they were not allowed to enter the buildings. The Marquis of Tolosa. ignorant of the death of his wife, was one of those who arrived and the guards at first refused to admit him. Finally. how ever, he was allowed to enter, and a heartrending scene followed.
 The coolness of the young king was marvellous. On reaching the palace after the explosion he sent ad- jutants to assist the wounded and later sent ofiicers among the families of the victims. doing everything pos sible to console with and assist the sufferers.
 Queen Christina. the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Archduke and Archduchess Francis Ferdinand of Austria had already reached the palace and were awaiting for the ling and queen with the infantas. When some time elapsed without the royal coach appearing the Prince of Wales and the Infantas Teresa, who Atood waiting at the palace entrance, became deeply anxious and they were more disturbed when they saw the empty coach arrive with its bloody horses. But the royal family were finally relieved when they saw the king and queen arrive. Queen Chris tina embraced them and uttered her deep thankfulness at their escape. The Princess of Wales asked for in formation about the fate of the Marchioness Tolosa.
 It is asserted that letters were re- ceived in government quarters last night asserting that this would not be the last attempt, as the band of conspirators had declared its inten- ton to keep up the efforts. This led to a discussion of the adjournment of some of the main features of the fetes in which the royal family were to be conspicuously present. The tragic event has already cast deep gloom over the festivities. The peo- pie no. longer show llveliness and hilarity. There was magnificent display of fireworks with street sing ing and dancing last night, but they proceeded with lack of spirit. A pail seems to have fallen over the com munity.

The courage of the latter was greatly ad- mired. She was somewhat overcome with emotion at first. but the king calmed her, saying that 1t was noth- ing serious. Later she recovered her self-possession and bore herself we'll throughout the trying ordeal. Some of those who saw the young queen alight from the royal coach just after the explosion say that her bridal veil touched the bloody pools on the pave ment and that 1t bore an impress of the terrible scene as she returned to the palace.
 The king yesterday evening re- ceived the princes and ambassadors and declared that he profoundly re- gretted the loss of life among his brave soldiers.
