Chargé Eddy to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

St. Petersburg, August 26, 1906.

Three men dressed as officers entered the house of Prime Minister and attempted his life by throwing a bomb into the room where he usually works. He was not there and escaped harm; his son and daughter hurt; 15 killed and 15 injured; also 1 of the murderers dead. The embassy called on the minister and I wrote the usual letter to minister for foreign affairs. City quiet.

Eddy.
