ESTRADA PALMA'S VIEWS.
NEW YORK, August 9.-A special to
the World from Turner's, N. Y, says:
Estra da Palma, who is at the head of the
Cuban Junta in this country in an in
terview commented upon the assassina-
tion of Canovas as follows:
while I have no sympathy with the
assassin, cannot help but feel that the
action was one of retribution. Canovas,
more than Weyler, has been responsible
for the cruelties practiced by the Span
lsh troops in Cuba. 1t was by his or
ders that women and children were mur-
dered and wronged. He deserved no bet
ter fate.
at should be distinctly understood
that the assassination of Canovas is not
the work of the Cuban party. We do not
resort to such methods. The Anarchists
Of Spain are for the most part in the
northern part of the country and they
are intimately associated with the An
archists of France. They had long
threatened Carovas, who caused many
of them to be executed. Only few days
ago several Anarchists were executed in
Barcelona and 1 suppose the assassina-
tion was the outcome. 1 do not think
the killing of Canovas was due at all to
any question of policy, but merely as a
vague outbreak on the part of some
member Of a dangerous body of men.
We Cubans have no sympathy with such
an act.
"As a man I deplore such misfortune,
but as a Cuban cannot help but feel
that am benefited by it,"
THE ANARCHIST MOVEMENT
NEW YORK, August 9.-The Tribune,
discussing the events that led up to the
assassination of Canovas, says: The
Anarchist movement really began in
Spain after the overthrow of Isabella
when a portion of the Republicans, dis
satisfied with the moderate rule of Telar
General Prim and others, started, under
