THREE MASTER
 MYSTIC MISSING
Schooner Consigned With Cargo of Lumber to A. w. Burritt Co.-Two Months Overdue.

The three nasted schooner Mystic said to be owned by the Gilbert Trans portation Co. and bound to this city from Savannah. Ga, with cypress for the A. W. Burritt Co.,, is now nearly a month overdue and grave fears are eX- pressed for the safety of the vessel and her crew. The schooner is in charge of Captain John SimnTins and mail has been awaiting him here for several weeks.
 The Mystfe is a new vessel and has been afloat less than two years. She carries a crew of eight men.
 Nearly two months ago the Mystic left Savannah but encountered a gale which blew her out of her course and she put into Fernandina, Fla, about 150 miles south of Savannah. She made repairs there and now that she is so long overdue it is feared that she has met with another storm which has blown her out to sea- Being loaded with lumber the vessel has good chance to keep afloat, and seafaring men say that there is still much hope for her, although month is a long time to be overdue from the Florida. pOrt.

Bomb in Alfonso's Palace Real One With Lighted Fuse Exploded Later-The
 King Wasn't There.

London, March 4.-The Madrid core spondent of the Telegraph says that what was apparently a. spherical bomb with a lighted fuse was found at : oclock Wednesday afternoon in the courtyard of the royal palace. It was immediately removed to a laboratory belonging to the artillery, where ex- perts spent a. considerable part of the afternoon in examining it.
 The bomb exploded a. few seconds af- ter the examination was ended. The incident has created the most disquiet- ing impression. King Alfonso and Queen Victoria are now at Seville, but the Queen Dowager Christina and other members of the royal family are living in the palace.
 The greatest secrecy is maintained regarding the affair It is understood that some arrests already have been made.
