ISCENE OF THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE PORTUGUESE CONSUL YESTERDAII 1■' aw'*The above illustration represents the scene of the explosion. The full force of the infernal machine was directed upon the sillpost, which rested upon a fiat stone In the ground. The picture shows how this post was blown away, how the sill was nipped by flying pieces of iron from the bomb, and how the latticework was smashed and scattered. Part of the flooring nearest the window was lifted a few Inches from the beams. The fern-box on the left shows one side blown away. The window has had all its panea smashed and the general appearance suggests the landing of a shell. Flower pots were formerly standing where now Is nothing but little pieces of pottery and other material scattered on the ground.
