Madrid, Aug. 10.--The assassin OF Pre-
mier Canovas hac confessed that his
motive was to avenge the Barcelona an.
archists and Don Rizal, the insurgent
leader OF the Philippine islands. COLL
the assassin, Is not seemingly perturbed
his cowardly crime. He talks freely
IL given an opportunity and poses as
a benefactor Of mankind.
In COLTS room the police found "a large
double barreled pistol 1t appears that
when he left the house he carried par
Gel, which Is believed to have contained
a bomb The theory is that he hid this
somewhere in the fields.
A dispatch from Barcelona says that
Golli arrived there in December of 1895,
coming from Marseilles. He was en-
ployed In the printing office OF the review
Ciencia Social, managed by the anarchist
engineer Tarrida Marmel, formerly i'm
priscned I'm Montjuich fortress at BARGE
Iona.
COLL was implicated in the terrible
crime of the celebration of Corpus Chris
tie, although he left Barcelona q few
days before II occurred.
He was denounced to the police for
completely, but he had already disap-
pcared.
In the course OF an interview Senoi
Sagasta, the Liberal leader, says:
The country's politics must not depend
upon an assassin. The Conservatives
ought to remain in power under the
guidance Of men like Marshal Campos
Senior Pidal and Senor Elduayen. Never.
theless II the queen regent appeals tc
the Liberals they are ready to respond.
The funeral Of Senor Canovas will take
place probably on Thursday. Meanwhile
the remains will lie here in state.
The Spanish newspapers, without re.
gard to differences of political opinion.
express their horror and Indignation at
the crime and their satisfaction that the
assassin Is not Spaniard. 1t Is prob.
able that the law for the repression oi
a.narchism, which has hitherto been en-.
forced only in Barcelona and Madrid
will be extended to the whole country
There is a great deal of speculation
as to the effect of the loss of Canbvas
upon the Conservative party. General
Azcarraga has acquired great popu-
larity and prestige through his skill In
organizing the country's resources for
the Cuban and Philippine campaigns.
and he may be able to keep the party
together. But many good judges take
a gloomy view of the situation and la.
ment the absence Of civil statesmen oi
the caliber of Canovas.
A dispatch from Rome says that
Golli's name is not known to the italian
police. No conviction Is recorded at
Naples or Lucera against a person OF
that name.
other dispatches from Rome, cor.
roborated by dispatch from Paris, say
that the real name Of Golli is Giuseppe
Santo. II this is so, II Is q remarkable
coincidence. for the name of the assassin
Of President Carnot was Ceserio Santo
A special dispatch from San Sebastian
says that COLL saluted Senor Canovas
each smorning with great politeness
His efIusiveness aroused the suspicious
of the premier, who mentioned the mat.
ter to the proprietor of the baths. only
to be reassured by him.
Goih confesses that he followed Senoi
Canovas to church and to other places
waiting for an opportunity when he
could surely accomplish his purpose
He says he regrets that he has been un-
able to kill General Polavieja, who was
governor general OF the Philippines when
DIR. Rizal was executed last December
He regards hin as the murderer of Rizal
