"Notwithstanding that tho revolu

ono month ago has como to an end,
that tho dofontcd revolutionists who
crossed tho Nlcaraguan bordor wero
disarmed by the frontlor patrol, that
tho government of Nicaragua has
maintained strict neutrality from tho
beginning of tho revolution and has
omphatically denied having given any
aid to tho revolutionists, Gen. Tinoco
has been massing a big army on tho
frontier of Nicaragua with large
trains of ammunition and supplies of
nil kinds. It is known that ho has hi
tho department of Guanacasto, ,ind not

Btrlctly economic budgot by which tho

"We boliove that tho time has ar

Other bombs wero thrown In Phila
delphia nnd Paterson, N. J.
Officials are trying to connect the
latest outrages with tho "May day"
bombs which wero sent by mall to SO
ofllclnlH In every section. Mondny
night's bombs wero not mailed. Those
responsible for tho outrages placed
them nt tho homes of thoso they
sought to assassinate.
Seek to Kill Palmer.
Tho Washington bomb wns thrown
nt the residence of Attorney General
A. Mitchell Palmer, Ul2 It street.
Mr. Palmer hns been tho leader In
tho prosecution of radicals. Previous
ly ho was enemy property custodian.
Tho lower part of tho Palmer resi
dence was wrecked. None of the fam
ily was Injured, as nil wero on the
upper floors.
The explosion seriously dnmaged
tho homo of Senator Swnnson of Vir
ginia, next door.
The bomb, tho police said, wns con
tained In a sultcaso lllled with cloth
ing. The remains of this suitcase and
n handbill signed "Tho Anarchistic
Fighters," printed on red paper, word
ed In Inflammatory fashion, and serv
ing notice of Intent of Its authors to
begin general war on society, was tho
only clow available.
Dictionary Is Found.
An Itulo-Amerlcnn dictionary was
found In tho street near tho leaflets.
From this nnd tho fact that tho dark
skin of portions of tho flesh of frag
ments of tho body found, thero Is a
disposition among tho olllclnls to be
llevo that perhaps Italian Beds wero
responsible for tho crime, though tho
Italian-American dictionary may have
been dropped as a ruse.
Ono or two persons near tho spot
claimed to hnvo hoard two explosions,
but most people reported only one.
Representative Ira O. Copley of 1111
nols, who lives nt 2i01 It street, also
had tho front windows of his houso
smashed. This showed tho force of
tho explosion, for Mr. Copley lives In
tho block between Twenty-second
street ami Sheridan circle, whilo tho
Palmer houso stands In tho block
lower down, between Tweuty-llrst and
Twenty-second streets.
Another Home Damaged.
Tho homu of James U. Ellorson at
2131 It street, next to Attorney Gen
eral Pnlmcr's residence, was almost as
badly damaged as that of Mr. Palmer.
Tho neighborhood, which was at
ouco roped off by tho police on their

what Is known ns tho west end of
Washington, between Du Pont and
Sheridan circles, where there are many
Alio mansions, In which llvo olllclals,
army, nnd navy olllcers, -society folk,
diplomats, and members of congress.
When reports begun to como la of
similar outrages In other parts of the
country, Major Pullman, superintend
ent of tho capltol police, sent special
guards to residence of cabinet olllcers
and other prominent olllclnls.
Secret servlco agents studied Intent
ly reports received hero from other
cities, nnd when It was found that the
handbills found In Washington cor
responded textuully with others picked
up lit Boston, their flrst opinions that
tho plots wero connected was con
tinued, they Btild. They awaited eager
ly clows which might bo picked up in
other cttica.
Property Under Guard.
Washington Is practically under mar
tini law. A number of military police
nnd other soldiers who wero available
quickly wero pressed Into service to
aid In guarding tho projorty and In
patrolling streets whero prominent per
sons live.
A spoclnl detail has been placed
nbout tho Whlto House grounds, tho
treasury, and In tho war and navy de
partments. Tho situation Is considered too dan
gorous n one for olllclals hero nnd for
tho nation largo to assume that the
man who placed this bomb wns killed
and tho authorities here nre not going
on the theory that tho perpetrator
of this particular one of the whole
series of bomb explosions throughout
tho country Is out of tho way.
