RICHMOND, Aug. s-Alex ander Brese. an
avowed Anarchist. who is believed To be the
brother OF Bresci. who murdered the King OF
Italy, was arrested here to-day on complaint
Of persons In the Italian colony. who are In a
state OF excitement over the matter. The
man came here from Baltimore three weeks
ago and secured work as a stonecutter. All
his talk was Of an anarchistio kind and he
tried 10 form an association. The
fact that an Anarchist was among
them soon spread In the italian colony
but no serious notice was taken of Brese until
after Humbert was killed and then they began
To regard him with horror. He boa.ted, thev
say, that he would blow up the Cathedral In
which the memorial services are to take place
named Jscobnl. who lived at the. corner Of
Nineteenth and Main streets, and conducts

said Mr.. Jacobinl. I'VE hardly believed IL,
but he was 80 positive In his statement that
the King had only short time TO live. that I
before news reached as Of the assas.ination
n 'Rumbert had only a short while 70 live y.
This convinced us that he knew good deal
about the affair Aftsrward he said that he
was present at the Paterson meeting when
and intimated that he would have cheerfully
committed crime had he been chosen.
The man bears a resemblance TO Bresci, the
assassin Of King Humbert and many ~ the
Italians here think that the two men are
brothers.
Mrs. Bresci wife Of Gasiano Bresci, said last
night that that Bresa coud not be brother OF
her husband, as the only two brothers he had
were in Italy.

invaders beyond the frontiers. and they have
crossed and occupied the capitals OF the enemy

which have been conducted for this purpose
In many parts have been marked by brilliant
skill and success and have placed In
the strongest light the heroism and high

HAVANA, Aug. s-Gen. Wood will 60 to Ma
tansas tomorrow at the request Of the Gov

tails Of the coming election for members OF Q
constitutional assembly.
The clause In the decree calling the assembly,
which refers to deciding the relation that will
exist between the United States and Cuba. has
caused much comment here. 1t 10 believed BY
some that these relations should be settled
after free government is established In Cuba,
while others see no inconeruity In the assembly
settling the question Of permanent relations.
The decree has caused much disous sion among
prominent Cubsns including Gen. Maxine
Gomez. Since his return from santo Domingo
Gen. Gomez has told Gen. Wood that he does
not want the Americans to leave the island for
some years. A great many Cubans would like
the Americans to stay. yet. fearing that their
continued presence will weaken the conserva-
tive party. the Cubans have not said much on
the subject. Should they give voice TO their de-
sire It is probable that the rabd section. though
somewhat discredIted would raise . row by
accusing those desiring the Americans to re-
main Of being nexauonists and thus swamp
the moderate party. Until tho conservative
element is thoroughly organized II will probably
be impossible to make much headway against
the revolutionary party. Another reason that
prevents the United States being asked to re-
main in control for given period. say five or
six years. is the fear that the Americans might
ultimately decide to remain for good

Viewed In the light OF Sir Claude Maodonald's
statement in his telegram OF Aug. s. that tho
Chinese Government has refused transmission
10 kilograms in cipher until now," a fact that
coincdes with the Imperial edict rescinding
the embargo on cipher dispatches. II Ia evident
70 the authorities hero that Minister Conger's
undated cipher message received here last
night was transmitted through Chinese sources
and not surreptitiously. The fact that the
Conger message was sent from an inland Chi
nese telegraph station 400 miles from Pekin
conforms 10 this belief As Sir Claude Mac
donald's despatch was dated Aug. 8, II Is sup
posed here that the Conger message was written
not earlier than that time.
The Chinese Government apparently rescinded
It's inhibition Of cipher dispatches ON Aug. s.
