prison through the efforts of a repre-

today that he did not think any serious

SPANISH ANApCIJISTS
London, Oct. 1.-THE Spanish refu-

publication here for circulation in Spain
OF periodical entitled Germinal In a
circular soliciting funds they say:
Hail to the social revolution!
a group of liberty loving Spaniards
are about to answer AngiOlillos cry of
Terminals valiant watchword-fro
the scaffold. The cowardly, inquisitorial
government of Spain and the useless,
cowardly and inquisitorial capitalist
class of Spain have thrown down the
gauntlet. We shall take it up as the
best means of demonstrating that the
ideal never dies. Holding our dignity in
greater estimation than life, we are dis
posed to defend by all means our right
to think, feel and to act according to
our consciences."

shot and killed Senior Canoyas Ded Cas-

to the seventh month of the French re- |
publican calendar, 17S2-1SO6, which be- |

Ittering this word the assassion sat on
hebench of the garrote and the execu-
Toner adjusted the iron collar round his
leck. All the spectators were greatly |,
struck by the anarchists attitude and i
here was much speculation as to the
meaning of his dying word "germinal."
