London Is shocked.
London, Aug, 10.-The Spanish embas-
sy in London received two kilograms,
the first briefly stating the fact Sf the
assassination and the second coming
directly from San Sebastian, stating
that Senior Canovas has been the object
of al infamous attack. but saying
nothing about his death, and conclud-
ing with the statement that If the out
rage be of anarchist origin it has no
political complications, with the addi-
t'onal assertion that the whole of Spain
is tranquil and that there is not the
least symptom of any alteration in the
state of public affairs.
This dispatch says the assassin is APP
parently an Italian. For this reason
the Spanish ambassador. Count De
Casa Nelencia, in the course of AN in
terview. expressed the nope that the
news of the death was premature. He
said:
The belief that the crime is not po-
litical, but the work of a fanatical an
archist, is borne out by the fact that
Wy - ~ - .Ii ~ we III hficM
that of recent years Italian anarchists
have been very active. Witness the
assassination of President Carnot and
the attempt on King Humbert, and
other similar crimes. They We're all
committed by Italians.'
The ambassador said he had wired for
details, but had received no reply.
The news was communicated by the
Associated Press to Gen. Stewart l..
No0dford. United States minister to
Spain, in London en- route for San Sc
b~astian, where he had expected to pre-
sent his credentials to the queen regent
in the presence of Senior Canovas.
General Woodford was so overcome
that several minutes passed before he
could express his horror at the deed
and his profound sympathy for Spain
in her misfortune. When he recov-
cred from the shock of the intelligence
he said:
This is terrible, most unfortunate.
The Spanish government and people
will have the sincere sympathy of all
friends of constitutional government.
1t is loo soon to express any views as
t" The effect which the regretable
death of Senior Canovas will have upon
current questions. 1t will not affect
my movements. however, unless it be-
on1e my duty to reach my post as
scon as possible in order IL express to
the Spanish government the sympathy
of the Nmerican government"
The Daily News, in an editorial on
the assassination of Canovas says:
THE deed follows quickly on the
pious i~nvocations to England us the
classic land of liberty. uttered by the
n>slnl C,o,irb n,,.,lf-+c -, .l.,:.
rival al Liverpool. These are anarch-
is. words. On the other hand. the
killing is one of their acts. 1t is i'm
possible TO draw any moral but that
the militant anarchist is il beast o.
prey, without even a beasts discrim-
nation.
Commenting on the ability of
Senior Canoyas to deal with the formid-
able task in Cuba, the Daily News
says:
Death. after all, has dealt kindly
by him in relieving him of the per-
sonal humiliation of an inevitable
failure. Ih< Instruction. il it makes
no progress. at least marks time and
the United States is beginning to ak
OF a time limit for the other side.
Brave words and even brave deeds will
hardly meet a difficulty of this sort,
unless they are right and wise ones
as we'll. The future is dark for Spain.
Barbarons murder has removed one of
the few men able to carry on the
queen regents government amid aw-
fni difficulties. Italy has again sup
piled the executive agent of the be-
hests of anarchy. She deserves our
coincidence almost more than Spain"
The Times says editorialiy: The
CRIME appears 10 be an act of anarchist
revenge for the execution of the Bar
celona conspirators. The anarchists
have given mankind one more reason
TO regard them as the implacable enc
mics of their race. Spain loses in Sc
nor Canovas del Castillo the best and
most capable of her living statesmen"
De LONE Notified.
LennoN, Mass, Aug 1O-Senor De-
puy de LONE, Spanish ambassador,
WAS seen by the Associated Press cor
respondent at the cottage in Lennon,
where he arrived Saturday. He said
that there was positively ro political
connection to the assassination, that
complete order reigned in Spain, and
would not be disturbed. When
asked who he thought would
succeed Canovas, he said that
the news was so unexpected
that he had not had time to think of
it, aud of course did not know. He
was not willing to discuss the politi-
cal influence that Canovas' death
would have on the government of
Spain, or on the Spanish policy toward
Cuba. He said, however, that it would
have no immediate effect, but as he
had had no time to reflect upon it, he
was not ready to discuss it.
