Madrid, Aug. 9.-The assassination
of Prime Minister of Spain Senior Ca
novas del Castillo, who was shot and
killed by an Italian anarchist whose
name is believed to be Michaelo An
gine Coli, at the baths of Santa
Agued yesterday afternoon, was un-
doubtedIy coldblooded murder.
Coli deliberately watched for the op-
portunity to kill the Spanish states
man and only fired when he had no
chance of missing; in fact, the assas-
sin when arrested, almost Immediately
after the premier fell dead at the feet
of his wife, declared as much to the
examining magistrate.
The minister fingered some time in
misery and passed away with the cry.
"Long live Spain" Senior Canovas
del Castillo and his wife were present
yesterday morning at celebration of
mass in the chapel attached to the
baths. After mass the premier was
reading and conversing with some re-
porters when the assassin approached
and fired three shots at him with a
revolver and hitting him in the fore
head, chest, and left ear. The prem
ier was carried to his room and ex-
pred at 1.30 p. M, after extreme
JUNCTION had been administered by a
priest of the dominican order.
The murderer, who was Immediately
seized by the people in the vicinity of
the scene of the crime, was severely
handled and might have been killed
had it not been for the protection Of
fered him by number of civil guards,
who soon ran to the scene of the as
sassination.
The prisoner, who declared that he
had killed the premier in accom-
p!ishment 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 Michaely
Angine GOllI; that be was 26 years of
age, a native of Boggla, near Naples,
and that he left Italy and came to
came to Spain IN 1896.
After reaching Spain Coli, accord
ing to his confession, resided at Bar
celona and participated in the doings
of various anarchist associations of
that place. After sojourning at Bar
celona some time Golli visited France
and Belgium, returning to Spain in
July last. After his return he COM
pleted plans for the assassination of
the prime minister. He left Madrid
for Santa Agueda at the same time as
Senior Canovas del Castillo, and
waited an opportunity to assassinate
the statesman.
AS tie premier lay dying upou the
ground his wife bitterly reproached
the murderer for his crime. Coli,
in reply to the agonizing words Of the
distracted wife, said: 81 respect you
because you are an honorable lady,
but 1 have done my duty and am now
easy in my mind, for l have avenged
my friends and brothers of Mount
Junich." Mount Junich is fortress
of Barcelona, outside which the an
arohists sentenced to death for recent
outrages were executed by being shot
in the back.
The anarchists recently executed
outside Mount Junich were the last
batch of fiends who threw the bomb
on June 7, 1896, into religious pro-
cession about to enter the church of
Santa Maria de la Mara, upon the oc-
casion of the Corpus Christi celebra-
tions. Twelve persons were instantly
