the outcome of vast anarchist con-
spiracy. He is believed to have arrived
at Santa Agueda the same day as the
premier, and ne was frequently seen
lurking in the passages of the bathing

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-This govern
ment probably has already received the
formal notification of Premier CanO-
vas assassination, but if SO it is locked

CanOvas was a strong partisan. He
was the chief exponent of the element
which was determined to keep the
island at all hazards. Seemingly Spain
is almost a unit on this. CanOvas was a

Asked as to how long he now thought
the Cuban insurrection might last. he
replied that that was predetermined and
he did not care to discuss it, He added

he could base a prediction as to Cano-
vas probable successor.
