DELHI, 25th August,
Bombs were flung at the car of Sir Charles Tcgart, Police Commissioner, as he was driving in Dalhousie Square, the centre1 of the European business quarter of Calcutta, at 11 in the morning. Sir Charles Tegart was unhurt, the driver was wounded, and a second assailant killed, apparently by the premature bursting of a bomb in Ms hand. The Police Chief leapt from the car and chased one assailant, who was subsequently arrested. He was carrying two other bombs. It ia believed that there were four assailants.
The four assailants were of the Bengali student class, about 25 years old. One is dead, ono wounded, perhaps dead, and the remaining two were arrested
The incident is causing great excitement among the Europeans, and little business is being done.
