Madrid, Aug. 1o.-Golli. the assassin.
has confessed that he killed Senior Cano-
vas del Castillo to avenge the Bagce-
Iona anarchists and the insurgent lead
er Don Jose Rial. who was executed
At Manila, Philippine islands. on Dec.
30 last. as the instigator Of the Philip
pine rebellion. DR.. Rizal denied that
that he had drawn up the statutes Of
that he had drawn up the status Of
the Philippine League. In COLTS room
the police found large double barreled
pistol. 1t appears that when he left
the house Sunday he carried u parcel
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 Coli arrived
there in December. 1895. coming from
Marseilles. He was employed in the
printing Office of the Review Social
Science. managed by the anarchist En-
gineer Tarrida Marmel. formerly i'm
prisoned in Montjuich fortress at BARGE
Iona.
Cannot he Tried - an Anarchist.
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 disappeared. 1t ap-
pears that Coli represented himself as
correspondent of Ell Populo. The
prisoner 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 its 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 will be summarily tried and
sentenced. The public demands the
adoption Of stringent measures against
anarchists and also against those who
are in sympathy with them.
Remarkable Coincidence Possible.
Dispatches from Rome corrOborated
by a dispatch from Paris say that the
real name Of Coli is Giuseppe Santa.
If this is so 1t is a remarkable COIN
cidence, for the name Of the assassin
of President Carnot was Cesario Sa1to.
A dispatch from San Sebastian says
that Coli saluted Senior Canovas each
morning with great politeness. His eff
fusiveness aroused the suspicion of tine
premier, who mentioned the matter to
- %
treasured by him. Coli confesses that
he followed Senior Canovas to church
and to other places, waiting fer an op-
pOrtunity when he could surely accom-
plish his purpose. He says he regrets
that he has been unable to kill General
Polavieja. who was governor general
Of the Philippines when Rial was ex-
ecuted last December. He regards him
as the murderer Of Rial. ,..
Sagasta's View of the Case.
In the course Of an interview yester-
day afternoon Senior Sagasta, the Lib
eral leader. said: THE country's poll
tics must not depend upon an assassin.
The Conservatives ought to remain in
power under the guidance Of men like
Marshal Campos. Senior Pidal and Senior
Elduayen. Nevertheless. If the queen
regent appeals to the Liberals they are
ready to respond"
Uncle Sam Sends Coincidence.
Washington. Aug. 10.-Official notice
Of the killing of the Spanish premier
reached the state department yester-
day morning in the following telegram
dated San Sebastian, Aug. 8, 1897:
"Canovas assassinated today by anar-
chist. Have expressed profound SYM
pathy. TAYLOR"
The secretary Of state Immediately
caused to be drafted the following mes
sage OF coincidence, which was forward
ed to Minister Taylor. after having
been sumbitted by telegraph to Presi-
dent Mckinley: Your action approved.
Renew in name Of the president his
expression Of deep sorrow and SYM
pathy for the loss borne by Spain in the
death Of Senior Canovas del Castillo,
the prime minister Of Spain. one of the
most eminent Of the statesmen of our
time. and convey coincidence to family
Of the deceased. SHERMAN"
