EUEOPEAN. It appears from latest intelligence to hand that the European Anarchists, well aware of the tremendous risks connected with their hateful schemes, have taken the precaution to insure the lives of those to whom the bombthrowing is entrusted. It appears there was an insurance policy for £8000 on the life of Vaillant, who threw the bomb in the French Chambers of Deputies, for which he suffered the death penalty; and it is also stated that the plotters killed at the explosion in the Church of the Madeleine in Paris were also insured. The appalling catastrophe which occurred at Santanda, in Spain, last November has had a lamentable sequel. While a num- 1 ber of men were engaged in removing the hulk of the vessel which was the cause of the original disaster, some of the unexploded dynamite went off, killing twelve persons and injuring thirty. The populace, incensed at what they believed to be the negligence of the authorities, to which they attributed the explosion, attacked the inspectors of shipping, and it was found necessary to call out the military to quell the disturbance. Another dynamite explosion has occurred in a French church, this time at Grenoble. Thirty persons were injured. London, Mar. 19.
