MADRID, June 21. — Senor Canovas has had a narrow escape, an attempt to murder him by means of an infernal machine having been made by three Anarchists, who, however, are the only sufferers.

The three Anarchists were waiting for Senor Canovas outside his house, expecting his return from the Cortes; and on the approach of a private carriage, which they presumably thought contained the Conservative leader, they threw a bomb which, however, exploded immediately, blowing off the arm of one man and wounding both his companions.

All three men were arrested. The condition of one is considered hopeless.

Senor Canovas only heard of the attempt some time afterwards. — Figaro.
