New YORK, Nov. 19.~-A dispatch to the
Herald from Naples says:
The attempted assassination OF hing Hum
BERT is he only theme OF conversation here. The
police have boen exceedingly active to day. The
ab3aa Of Giovanni Passanantn WAS thoroughly
searched during the night and this morning,
anG many letters from lntcr5ationalIsts, no5
orig III ltaEy, but 10 other parts OF Europe, were
found. Enough evidence has been secured, ii
is asserted by the authorities, to positively CON
cct the assassin with the International Society,
apG to indicate that Passanantc' act was pIann.
ed several days before the visit of the King.
Evidence duplicating we'll known members
of the organization was secured, and the ar
rest CT several Of the supposed conspigators
followed TO day. It is feared that the most
important coadjutors of Passanano have saved
themselves by Leaving the city during the night;
but descriptions OF the men have been forward
Cd by telegraph in all directions, and it is thought
tina. they cannot escape capture.
The wounds Inflicted on King tiumbert ard
Sienor Carroll, President Of the Cabinet, were
cn7 slight. The King had, before his depar.
tnse from Rome, received letters Informing
hlm that he would bo attacked at Naples.
