MADRID, Aug. 1O.--The Queen Regent
has decreed that the military honors OBJ
served in the case of the funeral of d mar
shall shall be accorded the remains of the
late premier of Spain, Senior Canovas del
Castillo who was shot and killed at Santa
Agueda on Sunday by an Anarchist named
Michele Angine Coli. The body of the
Spanish statesman will arrive here on
Wednesday morning, accompanied by his
widow the minister for the colonies, Senior
Gosh Gayon, and the chief major domo,
the Duke of Sotomayor, representing the
Queen Regent. The pail bearers will be
an academician, an admiral, the president
of the Senate, knight of the Golden
Fleece and Marshal Martinez de Campos.
The interment will take place in the pam
theon. Funeral services will take place
simultaneously in all the churches through
out the country and the official mourning
will last three days. The Queen Regent
is greatly affected by the tragedy and is
still confined to her room.
The body of the late premier lies on his
bed in the apartments which he occupied
at Santa Agueda. 1t is covered with a
shroud. Two tapers are burning at the
foot of the bed and altar has been
erected in the room and masses for the
repose of the soul of the dead are being
constantly celebrated.
Senior CASTELAR,, the Iopubiican leader, in
an interview is quoted as saying he will
not join any Cabinet unless it is Republican,
adding that Senior Segasta, the Liberal
leader, ought to be a member of the new
Cabinet with the pledged support of the
Conservatives.
The Queen Regent has written a letter
to Sonora Canovas del Castillo widow of
the premier in which her Majesty SAYS:
Il am so affected and grieved by the hor-
rible misfortune that | cannot nnd words
to express the pain L feel. l would like to
send you my consolation, but l can only
weep With you for the dear being you have
lost and who loved you so much. l. 100;
have lost a great deal. ! have lost a loyal
counselor who helped me and of whom
stood so much in need. The eminent serV-
ices which he rendered to my husband Al
fonso gave him a claim to all OF my re-
spect and his fresh sacrifices for the throne
further united him TO me and to the father
land. The country and history will do him
: justice. My children join with me in this
mourning of the crown and nation All
my prayers are for him. Heaven grant you
the necessary resignation.
A dispatch from Lucera, Italy, says that
the Italian police have identified Coli, the
assassin of Senior Canovas, as Michel
Angiono. He is thirty-three years of age,
and was born at Foggia, capital OF the
province of that name IN the Apuila9 PLAIN.
proved an Indifferent and disobedient SOL

he became a compositor. iii April; 1876, he
was sentenced to eighteen months i'm

term he escaped to Spain. He comes of an
honest family His father, who is tailor,
is gliefstricken by the crime of his son.
The provincial and communal councils of
FoggIa have sent kilograms of coincidence

A dispatch from Santa Agueda says that
the funeral cortege accompanying the re-
mains of Senior Canovas left the bathing
establishment this morning, accompanied
by the Duke of Sotomayor, major domo to
the royal household representing the Queen
Regent and by Senior Castellano, minister
for the colonies and Senior Elduavan. The
coffin. covered with wreaths. among them
one from the Queen Regent was bofne
on a car, drawn by four horses. A detach-
ment Of chasseurs rendered military hon
OrS and acted as escort
A special funeral train awaited the ar
rival of the cortege at Zumarraga. Almost
at the very moment of the transfer of the
coffin from the funeral car to the train a
foreigner was arrested at the telegraph
office. He is suspected of being an accom-
plice of the assassin.
Sonora Canovas watched by the body Of
her husband for two nights, one night with
Senior Castelar, and the other with Senior
Castellano. She absolutely refused to take
either food or rest, but discussed all the
details Of the funeral and only broke down
to-day on the road to Zumarraga, when a
severe nervous fit was happily relieved by
flood of tears.
The Marquis de BuStO, the court phySl-
clan, embalmed the body The pOstmortem
examination showed that the deceased was
in an, extremely healthy state. and that the
brain was unusually large. 1t showed also
that any of the three wounds would, alone,
have proved fatal.
At the special request of Sonora CanovaS
the remains will lie in state at the private
instead of the official residence of the de-
ceased. The government plan was for
lying in state at the official residence. The
Queen Regent has ordered a special mass
tomorrow for the repose of his soul.
Next week General AZcarraga. the new
president of the council, will go to San
Sebastian to consult the Queen Regent.
1t is understood that Gen. Martinez Cam
pos is willing to go to Cuba should the
Cabinet decide to recall Captain General
Weyer. There are also rumors that Gen
Polavieja. former Governor of the Philip
pines. will be invited to succeed Weyler
But these are mere rumOrS, and thus far
there is no Indication of abrupt changes
either in the administration of Cuba or in
the constitution of the Cabinet. Senior
Sagasta Senior Moret Y Prendergast and
Marshal Campos, with other statesmen and
generals, favor the retention of the present
Cabinet long enough to reorganize and to
conCiliate the conservative groups
The government has decided to try the
assassin by court-martial. He still de-
family declares that other startling crimes
will follow The police and government de-
tectives are acting with redoubled vigil
ance; and the government is in communi-
cation with foreign capitolS on the queS-
ton of the surveillance of Anarchists.
