1RDER0US ATTACK ON KINO
Anarchists throw bombs at Alfonso and his queen
bride, who escape as if by miracle, while sixteen
others are killed^ including two members of nobility
(Special Dispatch to Dally Alaskan.)
Madrid, June 1.? A dastard'y at- 1
tempt was made to assassinate the king
and queen-bride of Spain yesterday as I
they were returning from the wedding
at the church, and 16 people, including
Capt. Barrossa, commanding the- king's
escort, the Marquis Colosa and daugh
ter, several officers, citizens and
soldiers. Two of the horses which
were drawing the king's carriage were
killed. The assault was made by an
archists who threw a bomb from the
balcony of the only house in Madrid
which is owned by the queen-mother.
The deadly missile was hurled straight
at the king's carriage, and had it not
been deflected by a telegraph wire, .
which it struck in mid air, it would 1
have|fallen at his feet, killing both hiin
and his newly made wife and queen.
The expbsive fell to the ground aear
the carriage in which was riding
Grand Duke Vladimir, the representa
tive of the KusSian emperor, who mi
raculously escaped, uninjured.
The king and queen showed the
greatest calmness. Immediately the
former quietly alighted from the
csrriage, assisted the queen to do like
wise and escorted her to another car
riage which was quickly provided for
them, and thoy proceeded to the palace.
Neither of them showed the slightest
evidence of excitement, though both
wept when they reached their apart
ments. During the excitement in the
streets the assassin escaped. Five men
, have been arrested on suspicion but it
j is not believed the right ones have
been seoured.
The terrible catastrophe following
the wedding of the popular king and
his more popular bride, has caused a
pall to fall upon the city, crushing out
an enthusiasm such as Done now living
ever saw the like in the historic capital
of the proud and impressionable Span
ish people.
