AnotUrr Attempt to Aasasaiunto Bon-hor Cnnavarro Foils,About 1:30 o'clock this morningthe people living in tho vicinity ofThomas Square were awakened by a loud noise which indicated an tin-usual explosion. Sime people th uight that the inner ring of tho It publican party had held a session a \ I that another slate had bursted, b it it was soon learned that an attempt bid been made to blow up the Portuguese Charge d’AITaires, Senhor A. de Souza Csnavarro and incidentally make that popular di-, plomat an aeronaut against his will. This is the third time an attempt Ins been made on Mr. Canavarro’a life, and each time hai giaut powder baeu used by thi would be assassins, who undoubtedly are men of unsound minds and suffering under some imaginary wrongs. We congratulate Mr. Cinavarro on his escape from any injury to himself or hi* property, and wo are glad that t ie police havo already gained a clue which has led to the arrest of Reis aud Cairo?, two Portuguese liviug near Manana, who have been suspected of bearing a grudge against Mr. Canavarro.The giant powder used was not thrown under the house but in the yard, and besides miking a terrible noise and making the crockery • lance and tho windows rattle it did no harm.Mr. Cauavarro slated to a representative of Tin: I NDKl'KNDKNT this morning that he was awakened by tho explosion about 1:31) a. m. He stretched himself, rubbed his eyes and said plaintively to himself: “Why do they not get some original method to kill me with? this blow-ing me up is getting monotonous.1’ Then he donned his clothes, ascertained that ho was unhurt and that no assassins were lurking on his premises, and ho set rut for the residence of Deputy-Marshal Chil-linpwortb, who at once took the matter in hand.Mr. Canavarro means to have a thorough investigation of the case and Quit out whether bis would-be slaughterers ought to be in the Insane Asylum, in jail or banged. Wo mggest that tho last mentioned medicine will b« the most effective, Tho explosion was heard on Punchbowl, at Kawaiahaoand other districts distant from the sceue of ihe anarchistic performance. Mr. Cauavarro says: “I will have to be careful uotv. Three experiments of being dynamited is enough. I am not a cat with nine lives.”
