caused a sensation here and wholesale

If there is an active plot against the
life of Lord Mimic as a result of the
unrest of the people under British rule.
The explosion of the bomb did not re-
suit in the injury of any person.
The attempt, however, is only an
other of persistent attacks made dur
ing the past year on the lives of Eng
lishmen, officers and civilians, and has
served to add to the worries of the
administration officials. The fear of
another mutiny is felt among all Eng
