ARREST OF NINE ITALIAN ANARCHISTS AT
ALEXANDRIA-THEIR PLAN OF MURDER.
Alexandria, Egypt. oct lathe Alexandria
police have arrested nine Italian Anarchists
since last evening and have thereby frustrated
plot against Emperor William, now on his
way to the Holy Land, to be present at the con-
secration of the Chui ch Of the Saviour at Jeru-
salem
The first to be arrested Is a cafekeeper, we'll
ki own Anarchist. in whose house the police dis
covered two wire-wound bombs OF great
strength, full Of bullets
This arrest was made in consequence OF a
notification from the Italian Consul-General at
Cairo that two Anarchists had left Cairo for
Port Said
The police investigation showed that the ar
rested cafekeeper had bribed the steward Of a
steamer sailing to-day from Alexandria to Port
Said and Syria to take on board box Of bombs.
Apparently the Anarchists originally intended
to the bombs at the Palais Abidin, at Cairo
while Emperor William and the Khedive were
there
When the Kaiser decided not to visit Egypt
the Anarchists changed their plans and decided
to attack him in Palestine.
The livelest satisfaction is felt over the smart
captures, and the German Consulate has ex-
pressed its warmest thanks.
The two Cairo Anarchists who started for
Port Said have not yet been arrested.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE Peace Commission
al Paris still dealing with propositions
relating to Cuba, but have not yet taken UP the
subject Of the future Of the Philippines. From
an nsistence on the strictest construction OF the
articles Of the protocol the Spanish Commission
ers have swung to the opposite extreme, and are
now looking for amelioration Of conditions there
in laid down. on the ground that the agreement
was hastily drawn and under great pressure.
There is evident wish on their part to asso-
ciate Cuba and the Philippines in their final dis
position. which may explain the last application
of the Spanish Military Commissioners for an eX-
tension Of the time allowed for the evacuation Of
Cuba This application will he duly considered
but nevertheless this Government VIII insist that
administration Of Cuba he relinQuished by the
Spanish officials December |, even n the

They insisted that it would be an extraordinary

a financial position with the Cuban debt, while
surrendering 10 the victor the security with

..Thev remarked according TO my information
that if they had asked the United states for

refusal How. then can they be asked TO leave

shoulders 1t is impossible to foretell the Amer

his colleagues will yield. An idea is afoat-and
said 70 be warmly advocated by the friends Of
peace and iustice-that the interest should be
reduced to 2i2 per cent, or even TO per cent,
and Jointly guaranteed by the Spanards and

only very slight burden and the bondholders
being protected from loss on their investment
This last information does not cmanate either
from Spanards or Americans, but there is an
intention Of backing il so as 70 give 1T some
chance Of success"

THE ATTITUDE OF GARCIA.
DENIAL THAT HE HAS ACCEPTED A POST N
CUBA UNDER AMERICAN AUTHORITY.

CUBA UNDER AMERICAN AUTHORITY.
Havana, Oct. 1.-THE aide de-de-camp and sec
retary Of General Calixto Garcia Cosme de la
Torriente is quoted in an interview yesterday
as saying that the General has not accepted
any post from General Lawton or the other
American officials that II is not true he is
making a tour Of the eastern part Of Cuba, ad-
vsing the disbanding of the Cuban army. and
that there is no truth in the statement that
Garcia is going to the United States for the
purpose of endeavoring to raise loan, which
he has no authority to do
The aide de-camp and secretary further as
serted that Garcia has not denied the legality
Of the actual Revolutionary Government Of
Cuba. nor has he accepted the supremacy or
the United States. But il al ears Garcia has
unofficially expressed the opinion that the pres
ent Cuban Government owing TO lack ofmem-
bers and personnel could not be considered
legal. as a quorum was impossible. and there
fore its actions are unconstitutional.
General Garcia. il seems from what his secre-
tary says in all questions of authority at the
present moment. only recognizes the General
in-Chef of the cuban army, though he recog-
nzes the "transitory government OF the United
States as a consequence Of intervention and.

Further, General Garcia Is alleged TO advo-

lishment Of independence"

Spanards here as indicating Garcia's real atti-
