Madrid, May 31.—The public rejoicings over the marriage of King Alfonso and I’riuc«»s Vic toria had a terrible dramatic sequel at 2:30 this afternoon, when a bomb thrown from an upper window exploded with deadly effect near the coach occupied by the King and Queen. Providentially, King Alfonso and Qneen Victoria escaped by an electric wire deflecting the bomb, but at least 16 persons, most of them being of the personal and mil itary escort, and the others spec tators, were killel. Many others were injured. The following are the killed: Captain Karros, commanding part of the King’s escort. Lieuten ant Reysieot, Lieutenant Pren dergast, six soldiers, the Mar quis uf Colosa and daughter, Dou Antonia Calvo aud niece aged 6 years, Josa Sola, 70 years of age, Luis Fonseea, one royal Several of those killed were standing on the balcony of the house from which the bomb was thrown. The explosion occurred just as the royal couple were about to enter the palace. The route of the cortege had been diverted from Arsenal stTeet to Mayor street, owing to the popular de sires. The possession hod just pasted through Mayor street and was about to tarn into the enplane leading to the palace when an explosion shook the bnilding in the vicinity, stun ning s large number of people and throwing the cortege into inextricable confusion. ENTERED ANOTHER COACH. , The royal coach was brought to a sudden stop by the shock, officers and soldiers of the escort falling to -the ground about the equerry and horses that bad bee® pilled. The screams of the terrified multitude mingled with the groans of the .dying. It was immediately seen that the royal coach was intact ex cept as it had been damaged by flying splinters. King Alfonso immediately alighted and assisted Queen Victoria oat of the carriage. They then entered another coach and were driven swiftly to the palace. nrxiRious ovatton orviuc. AH tbis happened so quickly that people away from the im mediate vicinity were not aware of the tragedy that had been enacted, and continued to ae* claim their sovereigns. Soon, however, there appeared the empty royal coach with two horses missing and tha others ■pattered with blood, several of them bleeding from wound*. Tbe grooms and drivers looked deathly pale iu their spangled uniforms. Then came a boy shooting that tbe bomb had been thrown at the King. The appearance of the King and Queen in n coach brought out delirious ovations as tbe fact waa recog aired tbat the sover eigns had been spared. In the meantime the scene of tbe tragedy presented a hortiblc spectacle, with deed men and horses lying about, literally torn to pieces. Intense excitement prevailed, tha mob Invading thr streets while the forces of thr guard nought to maintain or* der and block the approach log streets. The bodies wan wrapped OP ill blankets snd removed 90 Utters while tbr a=-=-L-J--- — ■ ■ 5-L-M -JU wounded were carred to hospi tals in ambulance*. The pave ment was covered with blood, and the npper stories of the buildings neatest were smattered with it. F1KKD KOT YKT KNOWN. The place from which the bomb war thrown is a boarding bouse. The chamber from which the missile was hurled was taken May 22d by a man from Barce lona, giviag the name of Moral. When the police aurronnded the house the man attempted to flee, but was captured. Another man escaped over the roofs of houses. According to an official state ment, it Is not known whether one or more bomba were thrown. The statement continues that it is impossible to ascertain at present the author of the out rage, though it is known that a Catalonian uamed Manuel Duran took an apartment in the house from which the bomb was thrown May 22d, paying in advance with a 500-peseta bill. He was well dressed, of elegant appearance tnd showed a fondness for flowers. Frederick W. Wbitridge, the American special envoy, went to the Royal Palace, where he was assured that the King and Queen were reasonably tranquil, considering the circumstances. Mr. Whitridge called at the Foreign Office and on behalf of the United States expressed pro found sympathy with the Span ish sovereigns and people. „ ww* <o the Law. Frank Wilson, tbe little negro boy who has been giving the au thorities so much trouble daring tbe past few weeks, and who put up a race for the officers who at tempted to capture him last Monday afternoon, is in jail. His father, George Wilson, brought him in Toosdav after noon and turned him over to tbe sheriff. It turned out ss already sug gested that Wilson was not seri ously hurt as the result of the charges of bird shot that were fired at him by one of the officers seeking his arrest. He was considerably peppered about in spots, but owing to the dis tance and the small aixe of the Gllets, he suffered but little in ry. He was a little feverish Tuesday; but that passed away Tuesday night and now he is ■II riot.fr Questioned at to why he ran from the officers, Prank asserted that be thought they wauted tc kill him. He was not very talk ative on Tuesday; but later, ai he began to realize that he wan not to be banned, he showed s little more confidence and talked some about the race. He ap peared to have been lost at one time during the race; but after ward showed up again, and hi said this was because Deputy Sheriff Quinn was approaching so close aa to make him fern that he wae in danger of dis covery. He ran abont thrci miles altogether; but at the en<i of the race he had doubled back on his partners and was only about one mile from the atartiof point. The boy's father, George Wil «»n, is a law-abiding negro; bn he has had no control over Finn! for some time. The boy has beet i tinning wild under the influence of some negroee of the neighbor hood who live by selling llrinor gambling, nod other forms o lawlessness, ft Is quite proba ble that other arrests will be mode In connection with the matter. _________ NOTICE.
