THE MAcDoUGAL-sT. RESORT.

CONFLICTING REPORTS ABOUT THE HOUSE
BREsCI SAID TO HAVE FREoUENTED IT.
There were conflicting reports yesterday about
the house at No. 81 Macdougal-st. It had been
called by some a den of anarchy. II was said that
about one hundred Italians lived in the house As
1t is not a large building this would be an i'm
possibility The truth IS about thirty Italians
take their meals there, and there are few lodg-
ers. In the rear of the house is sort of summer
pavilion. At one end of this pavilion there is a
curtain having upon it picture of man wearing
a red turban. A Tribune reporte- asked one Of
the men in the garden whether the figure was that
Of an Anarchist. He laughed. and explained that
a friend OF Mr.. Posi-. the proprietor of the house
was painter. ard had painted the curtain as an
act Of friendship. The figure was that OF Mr. Posi-
himself AS for ia bella Teresa the dodgers were
ignorant Of her. They said that no woman had
lived in the house for several years except Posts
wife and his sister-in-law- The men were indfg-
nant at being called Anarchists. saying that il was
an attempt TO ruin them and so take away Mr.
Posts trade. In broken English they insisted that
the report about them De denied joseph yelling
the Alderman of the H. District said that he had
often taken meals there and heard an angry
word or observed anything out of the ordinary
C. W. Owen, who has lived door 20 the house
for four five years said that his neighbors
were decent peaceable people. He said il was an
outrage to call them Anarchists.
An officer OF the United italian Societies how
ever said to a Tribune reporter last night that

When Maatesta here few months ago"
he said. he found the MacdougaI-st resort
more often than anywhere else. He wore a bristly
bushy beard then. One look at him stamped his
features on the mind. Bresci the assassin Of King
Humbert, often dined there and had lonS talks
with Malatesta. learned to-day that on the night
preceding the departure of Bresci there was
meeting at this place and banquet was served
Can II then be possible that none knew OF his mis-
sion what his long conversations with Malatesta
were about? The banquet did not break up until
early the next morning. A few hours later. I am
informed by those who have been conducting the
investigation for us Bresc appeared at the office
of Louis V. Fugazy, a ticket broker of Nc. I47
Beecker-st. He was accompanied by a man whose
name l must not mention, for the police are now
looking for him. One ticket was bought as | un-
derstand, on French Line steamer
I have never heard of the Teresa BrugnoU who
is spoken of as fellow Anarchist Of Bresci but
personally acquainted with Theresa Ighiens
who was also known here as Ia bella Theresa
and who kept boarding house in Clinton Place
She was often seen at No. "a MacdOugal-st"

name be Withheld from publication since he feared
harm ii his identity known

that he did not know of any Bresci nor old he re-

NOT ASKED TO ACT BY ITALY.
THIS GOVERNMENT, HOWEVER, IS DOING
WHAT 1T CAN TO HUNT DOWN
BREsCTs ACCoMPLICEs.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Such steps as the Gov
ernment is taking toward the detection and ar
rest OF any persons in the United States who
may have been connected with the assassination
Of King Humbert were not instituted at the
formal request Of the Italian Government. The
italian Ambassador, Baron Fava, now at Sea-
bright. N. j., however, has communicated un-
oAiciaily on this subject with the Government
and a matter of international comfy the
Government in turn has put in motion such
machinery as it has at command to discover
Brescfs co-conspiratoTs, If there are such in
this country. 1t is not deemed prudent, in the
interests Of justice. TO disclose the details of
the Governments procedure in this matter es-
pecially as its agencies are not very powerful
owing 10 the severe limitations on the National
authority.
In a preliminary way some attention has
been given to possibility of Furnishing any
ot irescis accompltces here and it is con-
i"H that there will be much difficulty in
reHcni them. The laws relating to conspiracy
are local, and the underlying principle IS that
the overt act must have been committed within
the particular State in order to give jurisdc-
ton To the State courts. On the other hand it
is doubtful whether the conspiratOrs could be
delivered to the Italian Government under ex-
tradition proceedings. and this would be par
ucularly hard to accomplish if any of them
were naturaliZed citizens of the United States
me Government however, is proceeding in it's
efforts to run down the guilty persons leaving
these legal issues to be decided later.

MURDER PLOT FORMED IN AMERICA.
SENSATIONAL DISCOVERIES BY ITALIAN
POLICE REPORTED

Rome, Aug. 3-"Il Corriere della Italia" says
the police have discovered that a huge plot was
formed in America to murder King Humbert,
and that his assassination was to be followed
by similar crimes throughout Europe.
Another discovery is that Bresci last Sunday
entered the Royal Chapel of the villa during
mass, evidently with the intention Of assassi-
mating Humbert II he were there.
According to declarations made TO the Milan
police by persons who witnessed the assassna-
tion Of King HumbeTt and especially the Kings
footmen, four or five persons. wearing around
their necks black handkerchiefs such as Bresci
wore, were seen around the royal carriage at
the time Of the crime. After IL was committed
they began shouting. evidently to increase the
confusion and to help Bresci escape.
A man suspected of being an accomplice of
Bresci was arrested yesterday at q railway sta
tion here. He had recently arrived from the
United States, and will be sent to Monza for in
spection.
Notwithstanding the most thorough search,
the will OF King HUmbert has not yet been
found. Count Bramba has arrived in Rome
to continue the search. which is retarding the
arrangements for the funeral.
