GOHl stated IN the examination De-
fore the magistrate to-day that he
succeeded in firing two shots at the
people who arrested him before he was
overpowered
The assassin calls himself ''revolu-
uonary anarchist" !"
Senior Silvelva. the leader Of the dis
sident Conservatives, has followed the
example of Senor Sagasta, the Liberal
header, Marshal Martinez de Campos
and others, in rendering their condo
lences TO the Government while plac-
ing their services at the disposal OF
the Ministers.
The Cabinet sat until 2 O'Clock this
morning. and decided to publish in the
official gazette to-day, which will ap-
pear with a black border, the appoint
ment of Lieutenant General Don Mar
colo de Azcarraga, the Minister of War,
as Premier ad interim.
Senior Sagasta has postponed his pro-
jected visit to this city. In anticipation
of possible disturbances at Barcelona
the police force of that city has been
reinforced.
Later in the day it was announced
that highest military honors will be ac-
corded to the deceased at his funeral.
The court will, however, not return
here from San Sebastian, the summer
residence, to attend the funeral cere-
monies. The Queen Regent will be
represented at the funeral by the Duke
of Soto.
The remains will be brought here on
Tuesday An individual who was heard
to express sympathy with the assassin
of the Premier and with his crime has
been arrested.
The newspapers of this city in COM
menting on the crime say that while
anarchists have no country, it is dread
full to contemplate that the last two
murders of eminent men, that of Pres
ident Carnot of France and of Premier
Canovas del Castillo were the work of
Italians
Considerable activity was displayed
to-day among the Republicans, who
seem to believe that their opportunity
has arrived.
The Government is taking extreme
precautions to preserve order in Madrid
and the provinces.
1t is reported in SON Iaarters this
afternoon that SenQs PideI, President
of the Chamber of Deputies, Will only
be charged to form an intermediate
ministry.
It appears this evening that Coli, the
assassin, represented himself a. a cor
respondent of lei Populo" The pris-
oner cannot be tried under the laws
providing for the trial and punishment
of anarchists, as this law is so framed
that a person prosecuted under it's pro-
visions must have used or attempted
to use explosives in the commission or
attempt to commit the crime charged
against him. However, there is no
doubt Coli viii be summafily tried and
sentenced. The public demands the
adoption of stringent measures against
anarchists, and also against those who
are in sympathy with them
Coli has confessed that he killed
Senior Canovas to avenge the Barcelona
anarchists and the insurgent leader,
Don Jose Riza1, who was executed at
Manila, Philippine Islands, on Decem-
Der 30th last as the instigator of the
Philippine revolution DIR. Rizal denied
that he was a rebel leader, but he ad-
mftted that he had drawn up the stat
utes of the Philippine League.
In Golli's room the police found to-
day a large double barreled pistol. 1t
appears that when he left the house
yesterday he carried a parcel which
is believed TO have contained a bomb.
The theory is that he hid this some
where 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 of Social Science managed by
the anarchist engineer Tarrida Marmet,
formerly imprisoned in Montjulch fort
ress at Barcelona.
Coli was implicated in the terrible
crime of the celebration of Corpus
Christi, although he left Barcelona a
denounced to the police for completely,
but he had already disappeared.
