SENSATION IN LONDON.
CIRCULATION OF REPORTS.
ITALIANS EXPRESS SYMPATHY.
i (Received This Day, 1 p.m.) LONDON, July 28.
A sensation was caused in London on receipt of the news, just before midnight, that an explosion that occurred in Academy Street, Belfast, while the King was in the City Hall, 300 yards away, was due to a land mine, not, as cabled earlier, to a gas leak. The original statement in the afternoon was official, but’the police at a late hour, after continual questioning, admitted that it had been caused by explosives. In the meantime the correct story was widely circulated on the Continent, but later contradicted.
Italian newspapers expressed sympathy- with their Majesties and the British people.
