BOUND BY SOLEMN OATHS
Discovery of a Society of
Anarchists in Spain.
MEMBERS SWORN TO SECRECY
The Society's Ritual Captured
by the Police.


LONDON. Dec.S.-A dispatch from Madrid
to the Central Ncl1s. says that the police
have made a raid upon houses suspected of
being occupied by Anarchists at Mesina
de Rio Seco, a town 26 miles northwest
Of Valladolid, and secured q number of
documents,
The town of Mesina de Rio Seco is off
the line of travel and it appears now that
taking advantage of its comparatively
isolated position. the Anarchists sought
refuge there and from there directed the
movements of members with gang III
other places iii Spain
II is learned that the society at Mesino
de Rio Seco, had over 50 members, all of
whom are sworn to secrecy by the most
solemn oaths. Even the ritual employed
in the initiation of members is in the
hands of the authorities, and in it the
Anarchists call down upon themselves the
vengeance of their fellOw-members if they
betray IN the slightest degree the conf
dence reposed in them.
Some of the oaths in the ritual are
blasphemous but the police state that so
far as they know none of the many
Anarchists who have been arrested has
ever violated his pledged word. The pris-
oners have lied to the authorities and led
them on many a wild goose chase, but
have not given them information that
would lead to the arrest of the arch-con-
spirators.
The documents that fell into the hands
Of the police gave the names of all the
members of the society, and the police ex-
pect to soon have many of the Anarchists
in custody.
BARCELONA, SPAIN, Dec. 9.-The cores
pOndent i'll this city of the SecOLo of Milan,
Italy, was arrested last nip ht, owing to the
fact that his name appeared in the re-
Gently seized Anarchists lists. The police
also possess some of mis- compromising
letters.
He is secretary of the Italian colony in
Barcelona, and has been most active in
furthering Italian interests.
Juan Llansado, Frenchman, has also
been arrested on the charge of being an
Anarchist. A number of explosives were
found in his possession. The activity of
the police is restoring confidence.
A PLAY EXCITEs TO RIOT.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 9.-During the perform
ance, last night in theatre in this city of
Ibsen's Enemy of the People, the peo-
pie in the galleries became intensely ex-
cited and started rioting Some of them
sang the Marseillaise, and when the police
started to quell the disturbance free fight
occurred. The bufgomaster interferred
and quelled the disorder. Thirty of the
rioters were arrested.

CENTREvILLE, Nd, Dec. .12.-Edward
Lester, colored, is in Jail, charged with
the murder of Fletcher Bias, also col
ored. From the evidence before the
coroner's jury il appears that the two
boys went to the woods near Browns
vile, colored village three miles from
Centreyille, yesterday, to haul wood.
Lester returned about 0 o'clock alone
and wearing a comparatively new pair
of boots, which attracted comment.
When Bias did not come home at
night his family became uneasy and
questioned Lester, who said that he
knew nothing of the boy. This morn
ing search was instituted, and Bias
body was found in the woods by
Thomas Gassaway.
Sheriff Seward und Constable Jump
were notified and Immediately weni to
Brownsville. In the meantime Lester
had changed the boots, which proved to
be those of Bias, and put on a pair OF
shoes. He was traced to the swamp,
where Messrs. Seward and Jump fol-
lowed him at a run for two miles. They
found him about 8 o'clock lying ex-
hausted beside a log.
Lester at first denied any knowledge
of the murder, but while being carried
to the spot told Sheriff Seward that he
and Bias had had quarrel and Bias
struck him with the axe and that he
threw Bias, took the axe from him and
struck him several blows. While the
jury was holding the inquest Lester
told the sheriff where the boots were,
and when brought proved to be the ones
belonging to Bias and that Lester had
worn.
The first blow received was upon the
back of the skull, entirely crushing it.
There were other wounds over the eve
and upon the neck, all evidently pro.
duced by the battered axe found by the
dead body. Both hands were cut, ap-
parently while attempting to ward off
the axe. A dog belonging to Bias was
found at the side of his body this morn
ing still watching him. Bias was about
10 years of age and Lester 90
No motive for the crime can be
imagined, as Testers story of being at
tackled by Bias is not credited. The col
orod people are much excited. Mr.. w.
b. Farley is foreman of the jury of in
quest, which will meet again tonight
for additional evidence. Lester is rather
weak mentally, but has never given
evidence OF any malicious wickedness.
