ANARCHIST by CONVICTION.
The Assassin Tells of Incidents of
His Career.

The Assassin Tells of Incidents of
His Career.
Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 12.-On the
order Of a magistrate, the assassin was
taken this afternoon from St. Anthony
prison to the Anthropometrical Institute,
where he was measured and photograph
ed. Portraits were given to the press and
distributed to the police in the cities where
he has lived.
In the course of a second examination
as to his history and the motives for the
crime. he said he had never known his
father or mother. He was brought up at
Parma, Italy, in a charity school, and
at the age Of 10 was thrown on the streets
without resources. He worked as an un-
skilled Iaborer until he was 20. Then he
served in the Italian army three years
ard a half. on leaving the army he was
employed as the valet du chambre of the
Prince Of Aragon for three months. At
this anarchistic ideas began to possess his
mind, and-to use his own words-"pre-
vented me from remaining IN servitude" "
In the course Of a life of adventure he
happened to be at BUDAPEST IN 1891. There.
for the first time, he saw Empress Eliza
beth He was miserable and weak, and
applied to the Italian consul to be re-
turned to Italy. The consul sent blm to
Fiume.
His description Of his subsequent wan
derings was vague, and, he said, he sell
dom, If ever, obtained work While stay
ing at Lausanne he saw a file outside Of
a shop, purchased it with no conceived
purpose and made clumsy wooden han
die for 1t.
In prison he has boasted OF his crime.
and he has addressed letter to a Milan
newspaper expressing a fear lest he be
taken by Prof. Cabar Tombroso for de-
generate.
Dilating in this communication upon the
objects of militant anarchism, he wrote
above all, It Is the great who must be
struck. Not only sovoreigns and their
ministers will be reached by the comrades,
but all who make men miserable on
earth"
He says he was not impelled by misery
to kill the Empress, as such a course

PORTO RIcAN COMMISSIONERS.

Americans Make Known Their POST
ton as Ordered From Washington.
San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept 12-The
two evacuation commissioners held a two
hours session to-day and adjourned until
Wednesday.
The American commissioners made
known their position regarding the evac-
uation and transfer of the island in ac-
cordance with their instructions from
Washington. These instructions they de-
cline to make public at present, as pub
lcity might lead to embarrassment in ne
gotfstions. but the Spanish negotiations
did not disclose their position nor the ma
ture of their instructions.
They. however, manifested willingness
10 secure as much expedition as possible
and our commissioners are satisfied with
the way in which their demands have been
informally received.
The adjournment gives the Spaniards
time to prepare their reply. When that is
presented issues will be Joined and the sit
uation become clear.
What effect, If any. the appearance of
yellow fever among the troops at Ponce
viii have. IS probematcal. Should the
fever spread. It would doubtless induce
the American commissioners to hasten the
evacuation, but as yet there is not the
slightest reason TO expect an epidemic.
Gen. Brooke says two cases ssave been
reported to him and one death. AS soon
as he learned of these he caused all sus-
nects to be Isolated, with view of pre-
venting the spread of the infection.
II is believed that the cases originated
in the Spanish prison at Siboney.

fused TO make known the nature of the
communications exchanged between the
two governments regarding the matter.

ing the continuance of the truce now in
force, Gen. Obs was instructed to use his
