It lias been definitely learned that one man was killed and several were woundi-d in the expliwlon in the pal ace. The explosion occurred a dis tance from the royal apartments, but three other bombs were found in the vicinity of the buildings. An Armenian was arrested having a number of bombs in his possession. It is supposed they were to have been used on the Ottoman bank. It is the general theory that there was an organized attempt to blow up the principal government buildings of Constantinople and to assassinate the sultan. Mobs of irate citizens were crowding the streets when it was learned that simultaneously with the explosion in the palace an Armenian had been ar rested at the Ottoman bank, while in the act of lighting a bomb placed near one of the great doors. It was with great difficulty that th* troops secured him from the maddened crowd. He was hustled off to the barracks prison with great haste and securely locked up. A guard of soldier.-, w as placed about the prison. Three arrests have been made as the result of the explosions. All the pris oners are Armenians. The author of the explosion in the offices of the grand vizier is a native of Kaisisb. VI;. »_» ___ j x ion.
