ne name of Rinaldi, and claimed that
one ueed was the outcome of an extensive
anarcnlst conspiracy Later, however, the
assassin confessed that his real name was
mlohele Angine Cali, that he was 26
years OF age, native of Boggia, near
NAPLES, and that he left Italy and came

AFTER soJourning at Barcelona for some
oline. Golll visited France and Belgium,
ana returned to Spain in July last.
AFTER his return the Anarchist seems to
nave completed his plans for the assassi-
Ha1lon OF the premier. He left Madrid for
SANTA Agueda at the same time as Senior
CanoVas del Castillo and awaited an op-
portunlty to assassinate the statesman.
IN appearance Golli is of medium
height, wears full beard and spectacles
and his demeanor is that Of quiet, law
abiding citizen. He said he is satisfied
with having done "his duty" and asserts
tnat ne had no personal grudge against
the prime minister and was merely obey
| ing orders received from his superiors Of
the society of which he belonged. He
frankly processes anarchist doctrines, says
ne was sentenced in 1895 to 18 months
imprisonment in the Jail at Lucera,
lraiy, and claims that he escaped from
there to Marseilles, from which port he
made his way TO Barcelona.
Sonora Canovas del Castillo, wife Of the
premier, who was but short distance
away from her husband when the crime
was committed, rushed to his side upon
hearing the shot fired and seeing the
premier dying on the ground, bitterly re-
preached the murderer for his crime
Coli in reply to the agonizing words of
the distracted wife, said:
respect you because you are an
honorable lady. But have done my duty
and am now easy in my mind, for |
have avenged my friends and brothers of
Mont Juich.'

The Spanish newspapers express great
indignation at Golli's crime. Even the
periodicals which have Republican lean
ings praise the service of the deceased
statesman. The impractical says:
yesterday will prove black day fol-
Spain. The crime will centuple the in
dignation Of society against the would-be
ldestroyers.
Many Of the newspapers this morning
appear with black borders around Their

1t is reported that Senior A. Pida, presi
dent of the chamber of deputies will be
appointed president of the council OF
ministers, in succession to the late
premier, at the expiration of the officia
nine days mourning. The ministers fol
the present will meet in council daily.
Another Iumor has it that Senior Pida
will only hold Office until the Liberals
come into power andsit is rumored that
Senior Sagasta, the Liberal leader will
shortly be recalled 1t is thought in some
quarters that the late premier placed toe
much confidence in the chief Of the secret
police, who accompanied him to Santa
Agueda, and who has once been dis
missed. 1t appears that Coli the assassin
represented himself as the correspondent
of Ell Populo.
The prisoner cannot be tried under the
laws providing for the trial and punish
ment of Anarchists, as this law Is Sc
framed that person prosecuted under 1T!
provisions must have used or attempted
to use explosives in the commission o.
attempt to commiti the crime charged tt

will be summarily tried and sentenced
The public demands the adoption o.
stringent measures against Anarchists
and also against those who are IL
sympathy with them.

sagasta Interviewed.
Madrid, August Elm the course of ar
interview today, Senior Sagasta, the Lib
eral leader, said: 1.-THE country's politics
must not depend upon an assassin
The Conservatives ought to remain il
power under the guidance of men like
Marshal Campos, Senior Pidal and Senol
Elduayen. Nevertheless, if the Queer
Regent appeals to the Liberals, they are
ready to respond.
The funeral of Senior Canovas will take
place probably on Thursday. Meanwhile,

The Spanish newspapers without regart
