Manila.
MADRID, Aug. 10.-It appeared Mon
day evening that Coli, the assassin,
represented himself as correspondent
of FL Populo.
The prisoner can not be tried under
the laws providing for the trial and
punishment of anarchists, as this law
is so framed that a person prosecuted
under its provisions must have used or
attempted to use explosives in the COM
mission or attempt to commit the crime
charged against him. However, there
is no doubt Coli will be summarily
tried and sentenced.
The public demands the adoption of
and also against those who are in SYM
pathy with them.
Coli has confessed that he killed
Senior Canovas to avenge the Barcelona
anarchists and the insurgent leader
Don Jose Rial, who was executed at
Manila, Philippine islands on Deem
Der 80 last, as the instigator of the
Philippine rebellion. DIR. Rial denied
that he was a rebel leader, but he adj
mitted that he had drawn up the
statutes of the Philippine league.
In Golli's room the police found Mon
day large double-barreled pistol. 1t
appears that when he left the house
Sunday he carried parcel which is be-
Geved to have contained bomb. The
theory is that he hid this somewhere in
the fields
A dispatch from Barcelona says that
Coli arrived there in December, 1895,
coming from Marseilles. He was en-
ployed in the printing office of the Re-
view Social Science, managed by the
anarchist engineer, Tarrida Marmel,
formerly imprisoned in Montjuich
fortress at Barcelona.
Coli was implicated in the terrible
crime of the celebration of Corpus
Christi, although he left Barcelona a
few days before it occurred.
He was denounced to the police for
completely, but he had already disap-
peared.
The funeral of Senior Canovas will
will take place probably on Thursday.
Meanwhile the remains will lie here in
state. The Spanish newspapers, with
out regard to difference of political
opinion, express their horror and in
dignation at the crime, and their salts
faction that the assassin is not Span
lard.
MADRID, Aug. 10.-Further details Of
the assassination show that Senior Can
ovas del Castillo and his wife were
present Sunday morning at the cele
bration of mass in the chapel attached
to the baths. After mass the premier
was reading and conversing with some
reporters when the assassin approached
and fired three shots at him with re-
volver, hitting him in the forehead,
chest an left ear. The wounded man
fell to the ground crying: Assassin!
Long live Spain!'
The murderer, who was Immediately
seized by the people who were in the
vicinity of the crime, was severely ham
died and might have been killed had it
not been for the protection afforded
him by number of civil guards who
soon ran to the scene of the aSSaSSina-
ton. The prisoner, who declared he
had killed the premier lin the accom-
plishment of just vengeance" at first
gave the name of Rinaldi and claimed
that the deed was the outcome of an
extensive anarchist conspiracy. Later,
however, the assassin confessed that
his real name was Michele
Angine Coli, that he was 26 years of
age, native of Boggia, near Naples,
and that he left Italy and came to
Spain in 1896. After reaching Spain,
Coli, according to his confession, re-
sided at Barcelona and participated
in the dOings of the various anarchist
associations of that place and vicinity.
After sojourning Barcelona for some
time, Coli visited France and Belgium
and returned to Spain in July last.
In appearance Coli is of medium
height, wears a full beard and spec
tacles, and his manner is that of quiet,
law-abiding citizen. He says he is sat-
isfed with having done Ibis duty and
asserts that he had no personal grudge
against the premier, and was merely
obeying orders received from his super
iors in the secret society to which he
belonged. He frankly processes an
archist doctrines, says he was sent in
1895 to three months Imprisonment in
the Jail at Lucerne in Italy, and claims
that he escaped from there to Mar
settles, from which port he made his
way to Barcelona.
Sonora A. Canovas, wife of the pre-
mier, who was but a short distance
away from her husband when the
crime was committed, rushed to his
side upon hearing the shots. AS the
premier lay dying on the ground she
bitterly reproached the murderer fo1
his crime. Coli, in reply to the agoniz
ing words of the distracted wife, said
Il respect you because you are an hon.
orable lady, but l have done my duty
and l am now easy in my mind for
have avenged my friends and brothers
of MOntjuich."
