WEDDING. orseraoE A Bomb Thrown at King Alfonso and His Bride in Street. MISSILE HIDDEN IN BOUQUET An Electric Wire Deflected Course of the Bomb and Royal Couple Escaped Injury. the King Alfonso and his bride, Princess Ena of Battenberg, had a narrow es- cape from death, on the return from the church where they had just been made man and wife. A bomb con- cealed in a bouquet was thrown from a balcony and exploded in front of the coach occupied by Grand Duke Viadi- mir, of Russia, which followed that of the royal couple. Probably, King Alfonso and Queer Victoria escaped by an electric wire deflecting the bomb, but at least i persons, most of them being of the personal and military escort, and the other spectators, were killed. Many others were injured. The following are the killed: Captain Barros, com manding part of the kings escort; Lieutenant Reysient, Licutenant Pren- dergast, six soldiers, the Marquise of Colosa, her daughter, Don Anton vo, his niece, aged 6 years; Jose Sola, 70 years of age; Luis Eonsesa. One royal groom was killed who was lead- | S ing a horse drawing the coach carry- ing the king and queen. Several of those killed were standing on the bai- | g cony of the house from which the bomb was thrown. The explosion occurred just as the royal couple was about to enter the palace. The route of the cortege had been diverted from Arsenal street to Mayor street, owing to the popular de- sires. 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 a large number of people and throw ing the cortege into inextr.cable con- fusion. The royal! coach was brought to a sudden stop by the shock, officers and poldiers of the escort falling to the ground about the equerry and horses that had been kiiled. The screams of the terrified multitude mingled with the groans of the dying. It was im- mediately seen that the royal coach was intact except as it had been dam- aged by flying splinters. King fonso immediately alighted and assist- ed Queen Victoria out of the carriage They then entered another coach axa were driven swiftly to the palace. The Madrid police had received a warning from London to be on the outlook for anarchists, a plot having been discovered in that city to assass- inate the king and queen on leaving the church. It was just a year ago that a bomb was thrown at King Alfonso aris As the king, accompanied by Presi- dent Loubet, was driving away from a gala performance in the opera, an anarchist threw a ‘bomb at the roys carriage. The wedding of Alfonso and Ena | was celebrated in the historic church | of San Jeronimo. The gathering in | the church was the most brilliant one that has ever graced a similar occa- | world. | gion in any capital in the ENDS IN TRAGEDY! io Cal- | ALT their | ¢ Princes, dukes, generals, admirals and | ambassadors from every nation were there in glittering array. His majesty entered the church i der a pallium held over hima by high church and palace dignitaries. He was attired in the uniform of a.cap- tain general and wore among his deco- | rations the Order of the Golden ‘Fleece | and the English Order of the Garter. The blonde bride, in her wonderful robes of white and silver, seemed a flitting -figure in this fairy pageant | wedding. Her gown was a gift from | the king and cost $7,000. It was of | | | white brocade overlaid with silver embroidery and Spanish lace. The latter was valued at $50 a yard. The | lace was caught up with orange blos- SOMS. Monsignore Sancha, archbishop of Toeldo, and primate of Spain, per- formed the ceremony, assisted by 20 bishops and priests, all in gorgeous vestment of white and gold, scarlet and old lace. At the words, “With all my worldly goods, 1 thee endow,” the king pre- sented to his bride 13 golden ‘“‘arad.” The ceremony was long, alomst an hour being required for its observ- ance, and concluded with the nuncio | pronouncing the Pope's benediction on the newly-married couple, and the chanting of the Te Deum. After the ceremony ihe bride and bridegroom knelt before the altar, their sponsors holding lighted tapers on either side. Then they heard the nuptial mass, one of the most impres- sive services in the Catholic Church, with its musically chanted invocations and responses from the organ.

The capture and suicide Saturday night at Torrejon de Ardos of Manuel Torales, the chief suspect in the bomb outrage against King Alfonso and Queen Victoria, adds another dramatic chapter to the incidents sur- rounding the royal wedding. Morales was recognized in the little town of Torrejon de Ardos, midway between Madrid and Alcala. A guard sought to detain him, but Morales, drawing a revolver, shot the guard dead. Then he turned to flee, but a number of the inhabitants of the town were upon him and, turning the re- volver upon himself, he sent a shot in the region of his heart, expiring a few minutes later. Senor Cuesta, proprietor of the ho- tel from the balcony of which Morales threw the bomb, viewed the body this morning and completely identified it as that of his recent guest. An examination of the pockets of the dead man revealed nothing that would give a clew as to his identity. This fact created a doubt that the man was Morales, but when the Gov- ernor of Madrid arrived with Senor Cuesta identification was immediate and positive. The American envoy to the royal Frederick W. Whitridge, and 11 had an opportunity for a conversation with King Alfonso the a at the aturday i When the conver- lly turned to the attempt King and Queen King Alfonso zod his shoulders and made the following significant Statemen t, show- ing how he views the future “Yes, fortunately it was unsuccess- ful, but it will come again.
