GUESTS KILLED BY A BOM
Revolutionist Throws Missile Dur-
ing Holding of Reception.
PREMIER HAD NARROW ESCAPE
His Son and Daughter Were Both
Wounded—Tragedy Cast
Over the Capital.
Thirty-two persons are dead and
several wounded as the result of a
|
dastardly attempt Saturday afternoon
to assassinate Premier
Russia, with a bomb while he was
holding a public reception at his |
country house on Aptekarsky island.
The premier was slightly wounded on
the face and neck by flying splint-
ers,
The wounded include M. Stolypin’s
daughter and 3-year-old son, who!
were seriously injured, and a num-
ber of persons prominent in the so- |
cial and official worlds.
Of the four conspirators who engi-
neered the outrage, two were killed |
with their victims, while the third, |
who acted as coachman for the party, |
and the fourth, who remained inside |
the carriage, were badly wounded, |
and are now in the Sts. Peter and |
Paul fortress. |
|
Among the dead are Gen. Zameatin, |
the premier’s personal secretary; M.
Khovostoff, former governor of the
province of Penza; Col. Federoff, |
chief of the premier’s personal guard; |
Court Chamberlain Davidoff, Court |
Chamberlain Voronin and Aid Doubo- |
soff, Prince Nakashidge, Police offi-|
cer Konunzeff and four women and |
two children. |
People were literally blown to]
pieces. Those who were not killed
instantly were horribly maimed or |
lacerated, and all the others present |
were prostrated by the shock. |
The premier’s escape was mira- |
culous for only a moment before the |
explosion took place he had stepped |
inside his study at the rear of the |
salon to speak to Prince Shakovsky. |
Although he was but slightly injured, |
he is completely prostrated by the |
calamity. |

ATTEMPT TO KILL THE CZAR |
Two Men With Bomb Arrested by |
Guards at Palace. |
An attempt to kill the czar was
frustrated only through the vigilance
of the imperial guards at the Peterhof |
palace.
Simultaneously with the blowing up |
of Premier Stolypin’s palace, two men
succeeded in forcing an entrance into
the courtyard of the imperial resi-
dence at Peterhof. One of the men
carried a bomb concealed in a basket |
of fruit, and both were armed. Their |
actions aroused the suspicions of sev- |
eral of the palace guards, who placed |
the two men under arrest. ‘When they |
were searched, the instrument of |
death was discovered, and they were |
immediately placed in solitary con- |
finement.

DEAD BIRDS CAUSE TYPHOID
Thousands of Fledglings, in Attempt-
ing to Fly, Had Fallen |
Into Reservoir.
The cause of an epidemic of typhoid
fever among the 1,000 inhabitants of
Three Oaks, Md., was discovered
when a member of the Board of
Health climbed to the top of the
water works’ standpipe and found
several thousand young sparrows
dead and in various stages of de-
composition covering the surface of
the water. ,
“Tmniediately the Mayor gave in-
structions to empty the standpipe,
scrub and paint it. Hundreds of
sparrow nests have been built on a
ledge that runs around the summit
of the standpipe and the young birds
are supposed to have fallen into the
uncovered standpipe while trying to
fly.
The cover made for the standpipe
when it was constructed was never
put on. There are over 21 cases of
typhoid in the town.

BANDERA KILLED
Insurgent Leader
Cuban Guards.
Gen. Quentin Bandera, the negro
insurgent leader, with two compan-
ions, was killed in a fight with rural
guards, which took place between
Mariano and Hoyo Colorado.
A force of 100 mounted rural guards
which had for three days been seek-
ing to surround the insurgent force
commanded by Bandera, finally suc-
ceeded after the veteran commander
had pitched his camp for the night.
Two of Bandera’s followers was cap-
tured.
It was announced from Havana
August 20 that Gen. Bandera, who
greatly distinguished himself in the
Cuban war for independence, had left
Arroyo Arenas, 12 miles west of Ha-
vana, with about 20 insurgents, whose
numbers were augmented later by a
force armed with guns and ammuni-
Negro Slain by
tion, which set out from Havana. The |
next day it was reported that Ban-
dera had been wounded in the head
in a skirmish. .
Bandera was about 60 years old.
He took part in the 10 years’ war,
as well as in the war for Cuban inde-
pendence. He was well known in
every province of Cuba and had great
influence with the colored people.
When in Havana Bandera was in
the habit of gathering crowds of ne-
groes about him and making speeches
to them on the ingratitude of repub-
lics.
The bodies of Bandera and his
| companions were placed in a wagon
{and taken to Havana.
| tion of Bandera’s body showed that |
his principal wound was a machete
| blow on the head.
Government Troops Ambushed and
Several Kiiled.
The Cuban Government reports
announce that a detachment of the
forces of Colonel de Strampes, num-
bering 33 men, at Guines, province of
Pinar del Rio, were dispatched to dis-
lodge the insurgent forces of Colonel
Asbert, camped on the hill “Flor de
Mayor,”” near the town. The insur-
gent comraander, having 87 men, sent
part of them to the base of the hill,
where they amb ished the Government
forces, killing four and capturing one
man. Other renorts give the number
of dead as nine. The survivors retir-
ed in disorder.
Insurgent bands are multiplying in
Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces,
many small parties having left Havana
to join them. All are well armed and
mounted. All the insurgents are re-
ported to be mounted.
82 INDIANS KILLED
Stand and
Troops Loose Seven Men.
The battle which took place a few
days ago near Las Gasimas, State of
Sonora, between a force of Federal
soldiers commanded by Lieutenant
Colonel Jose M. Corona and a large
body of Yacui Indians was the fiercest
combat that has taken place in the
present Yaqui uprising, according to
official reports just made to the War
| Department.
The battle lasted for several heurs
and resulted in 82 Indians and 7 sol-
diers being killed.

CHECK ON THE TERRORISTS
| New Agrarian Policy to Bring Land
Slaves over to the Side of
the Emperor
| et
An important series of conferees
were held at Peterhof on the ques-
tion of the immediate distribution of
the Russian Crown lands and appan-
ages to the peasants in an attempt to
find a partial solution of the agrarian
question by measurably appeasing the
[land hunger of the peasantry, and an
| ukase will be issued directing the
agrarian commission to begin the dis-
tribution of 1,800,000 dessiatines (a
dessiatine is about 214 acres) belong-
jing to the Crown and 2,000,000 dessia-
| tines of land offered to or purchased
[through the Peasant’s bank.
Only the forests and lands belong-
ing to the state, the preservation of
| which is considered necessary for the
| future agricultural prosperity of the
| country, will be reserved. The trans-
action will be financed through the
| Peasants’ bank. Little cash will be
required. * The landlords and other
sellers will be given marketable land
script, eventually redeemable by the
| peasant purchasers in installment
notes designed to meet the interest
and amortization.
The Emperor will not give the land
of the imperial family as a free gift,
but like other landlords he will ac-
cept script. Moreover, it is believed
| that no Parliament will ever dare to
| repeal this temporary law. Nearly
[al the present restrictions upon the
| peasants as a class will also be re-
| moved.
This in substance is the Govern-
ment’s bold bid for the support of the
Russian peasant millions against the
propaganda of the revolutionists.
HANGED AND SHOT
Negro Caught Entering House Where
11-Year-Old Girl Was Alone.
William Spain, a negro 21 years
old, was shot to death by a mob near
St. George, Dorchester county, 8. C.
S. L. Connor, manager of ‘the Dor-
chester Lumber Company’s ‘stores at
| Badhain, was notified by a megro that
he saw another negro attempting to
enter a window of Connor’s home.
About two hours later Spain was
captured and brought to St. George.
Shortly afterward 40 or 50 men went
to the Sheriff and forced him to give
up the keys. The negro was taken
to the house of Connor, where his 11-
year-old daughter positively identi-
fled hin» as the man who tried to
climb through the window. The girl
was alone in the house at the time.
The negro admitted that he had |
gone to the residence with the inten- |
tion of entering it, but for what pur-
pose he did not say. The mob
| strung Spain to a limb and shot about
| 500 bullets into his body.

TROOPS KILL PEASANTS
Terrible Slaughter from Taunts Of-
fered at a Fair.
At Kharkoff; Russia, where a fair
was being held, a number of soldiers
acted in a boisterous manner, which
led the peasants to taunt them with
such remarks as, “Oh! You are very
brave at home! If you are so brave,
why didn’t you whip the Japanese *’
This angered the soldiers, who re-
ported to their commander that they
had been insulted by the peasants.
The commander called a company of
soldiers and ordered them to charge
the peasants. The peasants were shot
down in cold blood. When 57 had
been killed, the soldiers were with-
drawn.
From: Warsaw it is reported that
the chief of police . in Siedice was
killed by a bomb. Two policemen
and a woman were injured by the ex-
plosiorl. The bomb-thrower made his
escape.

Zion City Trouble Continues.
John Alexander Dowie said that all
negotiations betwden himself and Wil-
ber Glenn Voliva for settlement of
the Zion City tangle have been de-
clared off. Dowie issued a statement,
in which he says: “All the attempts
at negotiations have ended in failure.
I made a clean-cut proposition, but

sider a proposition from them, but it
