ANARCHIST BRUTALITY.
An Examination Of the Slayer Of
Empress Elizabeth.
PROUD OF HIS BRUTAL CRIME,

Expresses Fear That He May Be Miss
taken For n Degenerate, Saws He Is an
Anarchist by Conviction, and Threat-
ems "AN Who Make Men Miserabie.o
Geneva, Sept. 13.-The body of the
murdered Empress Elizabeth has been
enclosed In triple coffin and placed in
room transformed into a mortuary
chamber. The walls of this apartment
are yelled with black drapery covered
with silver stars, and several Sisters Of
Charity are continually on their knees
beside the bier. praying for the soul
of the departed. Nearby stands the
prayer table of the deceased bearing
her rosary and crucifx.
On the order of a magistrate the as
sassin was taken yesterday afternoon
from st. Anthony prison to the An
thrcpometrical institute, where he was
measured and photographed. Por-
traits were given to the press and will
be distributed to police in the cities
where he has lived.
In the course of a second examina-
tiOn 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
charity school, and at the age of 10
was thrown on the streets without re-
sources. He worked as an unskilled
laborer until he was 20. He then
served In the Italian army three and a
half years.
On leaving his regiment he was em-
ployed as valet de chamber of the
Prince of Aragon for three months.
AT this time anarchist ideas began to
possess his mind, and-to use his own
words-'prevented me from remaining
in service"
In the course Of life Of adventure
he happened to be at Budapest in 1894.
There for the first time he saw En-
press Elizabeth. He was miserable and
without work, and applied to the Ital-
ian consul to be returned to Italy. The
consul sent him to Fiume
His description of his subsequent
wanderings was vague. but he said he
seldom, If ever, obtained work. While
staying at Lausanne he saw file out
side junk shop, purchased it with no
preconceved purpose, and made
clumsy wooden handle for 1t.
In prison he has boasted of his crime
and he has addressed a letter to q
Milan newspaper expressing fear lest
he be mistaken by Professor Caesar
Lombroso for a degenerate. Dilating
in this communication upon the OBJ
jects of militant anarchism he wrote:
"Above all it Is the great who must
be struck. Not only sovereigns and
their ministers will be reached by the
comrades, but all who make men mis-
cradle on earth"
He says he was not impelled by |
misery to kill the empress, as such a
course would have been idiotic, but
he committed the deed "in order that
such crimes, following one upon an
other, might cause all who impoverish
the populace to tremble and shiver."
The document concludes with this dec
Il am an anarchist by con-
yiction"

| Spaninrds Given Two Days in Which
to Answer Our Demands.
San Juan de Porto Rico, Sent. 13.--
The two evacuation commissions held
an hours session yesterday and ad-
journed until tomorrow. The American
commissioners made known their po.
sition regarding the evacuation and
transfer of the island, in accordance
with their instructions from Washing
ton. These instructions they decline
to make public at present, as pub
liCity might lead to embarrassment in
negotiations, but the Spanish commis-
sioners did not disclose their positions
nor the nature of their instructions.
They manifested, however, willing.
ness to secure as much expedition as
possible, and our commissioners are
much 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 the issue will
be Joined and the situation become
clear.
What effect, If any, the appearance
OF yellow fever among the troops at
Ponce will have Is problematicah
Should the fever spread it would
doubtless induce the American com.
m!ssiorers to hasten the evacuation to
the utmost, but as yet there is not the
slightest reason to expect an epidemic.
General Brooke SAYS two cases hava
been reported to him and one death. Az
soon as he learned of these he caused
all suspects to be isolated. with view
OF preventing the spread of the nfec.
tion. 1t Is believed that the cases
originated in the Spanish prison at

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 13.-Naval
Cadet Thomas II. Wheeler, the younger
son of General Joseph Wheeler was
buried yesterday IN the family burial
ground on the generals estate, at
Wheelcrs Station, Alabama. The
scene at the grave was very impressive.
The casket was literally covered with
flowers from all sections of the country,
north and south contributing. Top
ping all was the dead sailors sword
and belt. and enveloping the coffin was
an immense American flag. General
Wheeler, careworn and half i'll, is COM
pletely crushed by the death of his son.
He said today that the undertakers
and life savers at Montauk told him
that the young man had evidently lost
his life in trying to save that of his
companion. whose arms were locked
around his sons body in a death grip,
while his face was covered with
scratches, evidently from the others
finger nails.

REFORMED SANTIAGO.
Result Of General Woods Intro
/ duction Of American Methods.
DEATH RATE LARGELY REDUCED.

General Wood Enforces Cleanliness,
of Seventy Has Fallen to Twenty
Within n Month.
i. Santiago de Cuba. Sept. 13.-As the
result of the general introduction by
General Wood. military governor Of
Santiago de Cuba, of American meth
DDS of conducting municipal affairs.
this ancient and always unhealthy city
presents a health record today which
y quite extraordinary considering the
conditions that existed here a month
ago.
Under the present system Santiago Is
divided into FIVE divisions, under five
physicians, each division having in
Bpectors of sewers, streets, houses and
dispensaries, with hundred street
cleaners.
Five hundred cubic yards of refuse
are burned daily, disinfectants are dis
tributed wherever they are needed and
a heavy fine Is imposed for unclcanli-
ness and failure to report unhealthful
conditions and death.
Quick proofs of the benefit of the
system are furnished by the decrease in
sickness among the poor. The daily
death rate of 70 month ago has fallen
to 20. Further evidence of the wisdom
and thoroughness of the sanitary ar
rangements is supplied by the Iessening
OF sickness among the troops.
The chief source of trouble now is the
harbor. Near the city the current is
slight plan Is proposed to dredge
thoroughly the muddy shadows ex-
posed by the tide and to protect the
banks with either stone work or piles,
carrying the present infectious sewer
age two miles down the bay, where the
current Is swifter.
The sickness among the American
soldiers is principally maarial mild
form of yellow fever and dysentery.
General Wood expects, In the course Of
another month, to make Santiago as
healthful as the ordinary southern city
In the United States.
This week all the Spanish prisoners
will leave and the Cuban army, save
the staff officers, will disband.
Many Americans are arriving here
In search of business opportunities.
They express themselves as favorably
Impressed by the commercial possi-
bitlties of the town.
