Supposed Bemb Explosion in Seoul: No Damage Done Seoul, Mar.*16.
There was a great commotion last night at about 10.20, when the whole city of Seoul experienced a tremendous explosion. The scene of the explosion was in the street near by the Shore Police Station. The police authorities lost no time in reaching the spot where the explosion occurred, but found there was no damage done to the buildings and property. Only a piece of iron pipe, four.inches long by an inch in diameter, which hardly proves that the explosion was caused by a bomb, was found at the scene. The experts from the Police Bureau of the Government-General are minutely investigating the matter to-day. It is rumoured that the explosion was connected with the arrests of the Korean reactionists in Seoul, and that the bartizans attempted to intimidate the people through the explosion of a bomb.
