Bomb at Hotel Bristol kills bomb maker in St Petersburg
A bomb explosion at Hotel Bristol in St Petersburg near dawn killed Alfred Henry McCullough, an English passport holder, and injured several lodgers. Police link the dead man to the Terrorist party, noting the device matched power used in prior assassinations. McCullough’s movements were deemed mysterious and possibly connected to Paris revolutionary groups. In Tokyo reports, Russian troops retreat under heavy fire as Japanese forces advance near Mukden, with signaled victories and military congratulations to Oyama.
