ROME. Aug. S.-According to declar-
atoms made to the Milan police by per-
sons who witnessed the assassination
of King Humbert, and especially the
kings footmen, four or. five persons
wearing around their necks black hand
kerchlefs such as Brescl wore, were
seen around the royal carriage at the
time of the crime. After 1t was COM
mittcd they began shouting, evidently
to increase the confusion, and to help
Brcsci to escape.
II Corriere Della Italia says the po-
lice have discovered that 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 assassinating King Hum

A man suspected Of being an accom-
plice of Brescl was arrested yesterday

LONDON, Aug. 8, 3:45 a. m.-No
word comes this morning regarding the
fortunes of the comparatively small
body Of troops believed to be forging
their way toward Pekin. The silence
is probably due to diligent censorship
rather than to any lack Of develop

Chang that the ministers might be sent

Pekin, the secretary OF state replied on
the S0th of july:
Will Not Make Such Agreement.
"This government wifi not enter into
any arrangement regarding disposition
or treatment OF legations without first
having free communication with Minis
ter Conger. Responsibility for their
protection rests upon Ch..ase govern
ment. Power to deliver at Tlen Ts,a
presupposes power to protect and to

MUNICIPAL TAX LAW
Cause of Unrest Among the Munich

K HAVANA. August 2.-There nre 1ss
municipalities In Cuba, and all are in
tercsted In changes being made in tho
municipal tax law. Under Spanish rule
taxation was practically unlimited.
General Brooke fixed taxation In muni-
cipalities at eight per cent of net in-

eral Wood. however. Is inaugurating
tax. not above twelve per cent on pre-.
ferrcd property pro rata to expenditures
in the principal cities. and in others six
to eight per cent OF net Income from

would gladly assist the Chinese au-
thorities.
555 Untrue and Unfair.
This is untrue and 1t is unfair to me.
1 have telegraphed nothing direct to my
government beyond forwarding tho
Presidents reply to the request OF the
Chinese government for mediation.
Every one knows what that is. The
statement that I have led my govern
ment to expect help from the United
States Is most unfair 10 me. 1t looks
as though I had not been dealing can
didly. AS matter OF fact I have been
doing my utmost to deal honestly with
both sides and as a loyal subject have
tried to point out the best course to my
home government. In my communica-
tions with the viceroys and high OIL
cials with whom have been in corres-
pondence I have urged that the minis
ters be put In free communication with
their governments. have had only
two direct communications from my
government since the first trouble oc-
CURED which shows that direct COM
munlcation Is not easy"
No Reason to Change Its Opinion.
In may be stated on good authority
that the state department. whatever
may be Its opinion OF the Imperial gov
ernmcnt OF China. has had no reason to
change its opinion as to the sincerity
and good intentions Of the Chinese min
lister here and the department Is con-
tinung to deal with him In entire con.
fldence despite the peremptory tone OF
the last message addressed by Secrc-
tary Hay through him to the Chinese
government.
Regarding the possibility OF violence
being renewed against the Pekln lega-
tions in case the march OF the interna-
tional column on the capital was not
arrested, Mr.. WI declined to talk. He
said it was impossible to fairly judge
of the situation from this distance, bur
1t was evident from his tone that he
was exceedingly anxious over the out
come.
