Capture of Another Bomb Thrower in Paris. ts Edeon Breton, twenty-three years old, threw a bomb in the cafe of the Hotel Terminus, at the St. Lazare railway sta- tion, Paris, last evening. The bomb ex- ploded in the middle of the room and wounded twenty persons. An instrumental concert began in the cafe, which is on the ground ficor of the hotel, at 8 o'clock. Shortly before 9 o'clock a pale, thin, young man, with a light pointed beard, paid for a drink, which he had taken at a table in the middle of the room, and started to leave. When near the door he turned suddenly, drew a bomb frcm his coat, and threw it toward a group of persons who had sat next to him. The bomb struck an electric light fix- ture, then fell on a marble table and ex- ploded. The great hotel and station were racked by the shock. The mirrors, wif- dows and doors were blown to atoms. The ceiling and floor were rent, and the walls were cracked. A dense, offensive smoke filled the cafe for four minutes, and in the obscurity the bomb thrower escaped. When the smoke cleared away, five persons were found severely wounded and fifteen had slight injuries. The bomb had been filled with bullets and rough bits of fron, which had riddled the furniture and walls and inflicted most of the wounds. After leaving the cafe the bomb thrower started down the street on a run. Three policemen had just passed in an omnibus when the explosion occurred, They were going on duty, and jumped to jie street the moment they saw the fugt- tive. Shot at the Policemen. - The young man turned on them as they called to him to stop and fired five shots. Policeman Poisson fell badly wound- ed in the side. Policemen Lenoir and Bigot, however, continued the pursuit, and, with the help of Policeman Barbes and a waiter named Tissier, overpowered and arrested the bomb thrower. They took him to the police station in the Rue de Moscou, where, after some hesitation, he gave nis name and age. The prefect of police, M. Laurent, chief secre- tary to M. Dubost, minister of the interior, and several other high officials were sum- moned to the station, and the examination of the prisoner was begun. Meantime, the sound of the explosion, the smoke and the cries of the wounded had attracted a great crowd to the Hotel Terminus. Doctors Sereno, Bouffe and Thy- sun offered their services. They obtained bandages and drugs from a near-by apothe- cary and dressed the wounds of the injured, some of whom had been carried to rooms in the hotel, others to the drug stores in the neighborhood. In Breton’s pockets the police found a pair of brass knuckles, a dagger, a Swedish knife, a six-chamber revolver, a gold half Icuis, two francs, eleven sous, and a small silver locket containing a lock of brown hair tied with a ribbon. At first he re- fused to talk, telling the police that it was their business io find out who he was. After giving his name and age he again became silent. Eventually he added that he was a cabinet maker and had arrived in Paris from Marseilles yesterday morning. Proud of His Work. “Yes, I am an anarchist,” he exclaimed irately in response to reiterated questions, the more of the bourgeoisie I killed the bett-r it would please me.” The fragments of the bomb indicate that it was a tin box, perhaps a sardine box. — explosive contained a chloriatic pow- ler. A man who saw the capture of Breton in the street described it thus: As Police- man Poisson fell Breton stumbled, but he saved himself and almost. instantly arose as the crowd of pursuers behind the other policeman came along. A woman sark dangerously wounded to the pave- ment. Breton continued to flourish his re- volver after he had emptied it. A_police- ran stfuck him in the face violently with the flat of his saber, and Breton fell, but enly to rise and struggle fiercely when the policemen laid hands on him. It was only with difficulty th: the police pre- vented the people from lynching him. Breton told the doctor who dressed the wound which he received from the police- man’s saber that his main object was to avenge Vaillant. His hatred of the pro- prietor of the cafe was but a minor con- sideration. He said there were others who would follow his example. The object of his associates was to destroy the bour- geoisie. Breton speaks English and French fluently. He declines to reveal his identity, but is probably a native of the Island of Jersey, where the name of Breton is com- mon, HONORING LINCOLN’S MEMORY.

MORE LETTERS Another Brief Batch of Correspond- ence on Hawaiian Affairs TRANSMITTED 70 CONGRESS YESTERDAY President Dole’s Specifications of Willis’ Unfriendly Conduct Not Sent A LETTER FROM GRESHAM The President yesterday sent to Congress another batch of Hawaiian correspondence, one important feature of which was the ab- sence of President Dole’s extraordinary let- ter to Minister Willis, giving specifications of unfriendly conduct on the part of the latter. In his message of transmittal the President say: “I transmit herewith two dispatches re- I dictated to a sten her a statement from which the following is quoted, it being all that relates to the subject of Mr. Dole’s communication to you: “On the forenoon of November 14 Hon, L. A. Thurston, minister of the provisional government of Hawaii, called at the State Department for an interview with the Secretary of State on the Hawaiian situa- tion. The minister was informed by the Secretary that it was about time for @ cabinet meeting, and he was under the necessity of requesting the minister to call again at three o'clock in the afternoon. He replied that he would do so, but before leaving desired to submit two questions to the Secretary. “First. Was the letter addressed by the Secretary to the President about Hawall | 4 i provisional government, and prin! in the papers a few days ago, au- thentic and official? “Second. If it was, and he presumed it was, was it the President's intention to use force, if need be, against the provisional governmert fm restoring the queen? “The Secretary replied that the letter was authentic, but not having time to spend with the minister just then, he could repeat the questions on calling in the after- noon.

The Thurston-Gresham Interview. In another letter to Secretary Gresham, dated January 16, Mr. Willis says: In a letter from Mr. S. B. Dole, minister of foreign affairs, addressed to me under date of January 11, the following.statement is made: “On November 14 Mr. Thurston,Hawaiian minister at Washington, called upon the Secretary of State and inquired if the above letter” (yours of October 18) “was authen- tc, and was assured by Mr. Gresham that it was. ‘Mr. Thurston then said: ‘I wish then to further ask whether it is the intention of the United States government to carry out its policy therein indicated by force; or, in other words, whether, if the provisional government decline to accede to the request of the United States government to vacate in favor of the queen, United States troops will be used to enforce the request.’ “To which Mr. Gresham replied: “I am not at liberty at present to answer that question. It is a matter concerning which I will speak to the President and talk with you more fully this afternoon.’ “In the afternoon of the same day, Mr. Gresham further said to Mr. Thurston: ‘I have already answered your first question, to the effect that the letter pub- lished (Secretary Gresham to the President) was authentic and a correct statement of the policy of the United States. As to your second question as to whether force is to be used by the United States to restore the queen, all that I am at liberty to state is that Willis has no instructions to do anything which will cause injury to life or property of anyone at the islands. Further than this I am not at liberty to state what his instructions are. You can draw your own inferences from my _ statement and allay any apprehension which may have been caused by what has been published.

S. B. Dole, minister of foreign affairs of the provisional government, ad- dressed to you under date of January 11, containing statements alleged to have been made by me in an interview with Mr. Thurston, the Hawaiian minister, on No- vember 14 last. It is true that I had two interviews with Mr. Thurston on the day mentioned, the first of which was very brief. Immediately after the second interview by the Para are healthy. It was noon on Saturday when the Para reached Roncador cay. ‘was calm when the relief ship the cay, where the survivors of the w: ‘were hud- died on the small spur of coral at the north end of the reef. The castaways sent up @ hearty cheer as a salute to the rescuers and the gun of the Para banged in reply, while the crew and Lieut. Brainard yelled them- selves hoarse.

How They Lived on the Reef. ‘The Kearsarge’s people did not suffer es much during their stay on the cay as it was feared they might. They had an abundance of provisions, which they had saved from the wreck, and they got a little fresh water from the corvette. By digging in the sand brackish water suitable for culinary pur poses was secured. The greatest suffering experienced by the castaways was caused by the intense heat, which blistered the unfortunates, accus- tomed as they had been to exposure.

After taking on board the officers and crew of the Kearsarge found on Roncador cay, the City of Para steamed to Old Provi- dence to pick up Lieut. Brainar’’s boat's crew. The strong currents running there rendered the task a most difficult one, and so much time was consumed in the handful of men off the island that it was feared in Colon that the City of Para might have been lost. Then it was that ments were made to fit out a second ship to go in search of the first. Awny Out of Reckoning. Nothing but an official inquiry will solve the mystery of the presence of the Kear- sarge in such dangerous proximity to Ron- cador reef that her loss resulted. The only statement that can be gotten from any of the Kearsarge people is the general one that the ship was away out of her reckoning; that the wreck was brought about by # Sross error in calculating the force and direction of the terrific currents. The sea was running appallingly high and the night was dark at the time the ship struck, but the wreck of the Kearsarge total, but the hulk will not go to pieces entirely for a long time, unless broken up by a hurricane. It is said, though, that nothing can be saved from the hulk on account of the impossibili- ty to approach it, surrounded as it is by rocks and sharp coral strands. The Kearsarge struck the reef on the northeast side, more than a mile south of the ledge of coral called Roncador cay, the spot upon which the castaways were perch- ed for over a week. The ship went clear amid the coral columns. which stand out the water like colonnades. ‘The Kearsarge’s company saved but the clothing they wore at the time A} abandoning the wreck. The British consul at Colon told Lieut.
