New York. August 19-The Evening
World today prints the following rela-
tive to the news received from Washing
ton yesterday, Of the detention at the
barge office in this city by secret service
agents Of Notable Maresca and Michil
Weida, supposed anarchists, who arrived
yesterday on the "Kaiser Wilhelm III. "
1t is alleged that these two men came to
this country as conspirators whose OBJ
ject was the assassination OF President
Mckinley.
The Evening World says:
"Instead OF two, high government
official informed the Evening World that
there are fourteen anarchists under ar
reet at the detention prison Of the bureau
Of immigration.
"They are all charged with being in
conspiracy to assassinate Pl esident Nc
Kinley and have been taken singly and
in pairs, from incoming ocean liners in
the last ton days.
UNITED States secret service agents
learned that an anarchist circle in Ma
Piles had cast lots to determine who
should be the assassin.
"Eleven Italians and three Austrians
were selected. Closely followed, they
sailed from different ports. Their OBJ
ject was to strike individual blows at the
president at the same time. That would
insure sucsess.
"As fast as the men arrived seC:et SER
vice agents, disguised as emigrants went
among them and they were arrested.
Maresca and Weida, caught yesterday,
were the last to OF the fourteen. The
conspiracy was made one night early in
August. By working with the Italian
police, the secret service agents got wind
of great meeting Of the circle in Ma
plies.
"The men selected for the work in
this country were quickly notified what
they were to do, separated, going singly
or in pairs to different psrts in Europe.
Some won't to France, others to Ger
many, and still others across the channel
to England. Step by step they were fol-
lowed to the steamers.
1.-THE fourteen are now detained by the
immigration authorities and are either
at the Battery or the detention quarters
at quarantine.
Zone report is to the effect that some
are in Ludlow street jail, having been
taken there from Ellis island, to prevent
any attempt to rescue them by Paterson
anarchists.
So far as is known, according to the
Evening World. the plan was for each
man to proceed to Washington on q GER
tain day. They would surround the
president and await an opportunity to
strike. The blow was to be by pistol
and knife. One Of the number was sure
to be successful.
The question of escape wss not con-
sidered, the men being willing to sacri-
fee their lives for their principles.
The two men who did not meet their

da. Chief Wilkie of the secret service
division of the treasury department had
his agents at the pier when the steamer
docked.
The two men did not come in the
steerage as did the others. Maresca
came as steward and Weida as a coal
passer. They could have landed with
out going through the formality OF the
barge office.

as stowaway. He was put to work in
the hold with the coal passers and was
kept busy until the boat reached quar-
antine.
1t is not known that either OF the men
saw the other during the eleven days of
the run.
On Wednesday morning last the
steamer was boarded at quarantine by
secret service men who asked to SEQ the
steerage and cabin lists and the ships
roster. First officer Lans took the de-
tective forward, where they could see
the crew.
Purser Meyer remembered recording
the name Of Maresea at Naples and he
was identified by Meyer when brought
out for Identification. Maresca profess
ed to be unable to understand English.
After looking him over, w. P. Haz en-,
in charge Of the secret service bureau OF
this city, said: Il think that that is the

Maresca was sent below when the ship

was under detention. he was asked
where his baggage was and replied in
Italian "Weida has it"
This was new lead, and Weida was

and questioned. He also professed not
to understand English, but admitted
he had trunks on board.
Tho baggage will be carefully searched
today. So quietly we're both men taken
from the liner that none OF the crew or
passengers knew that an arrest had been

Of 1t was n eou'"e. or dry ravlnc, viii
banks 20 feet high. We had with us
couple of scouts who knew every rod
OF the overland trail, and when within
mile Of the station these men were
sent forward TO spy ont the situation.
They returned after awhile TO report
that Spotted Horse and about 100 OF
his dog soldiers" as the Cheyennes
were called. were aging siege TO the
station and had evidently occupied the
ground for two or three days. The
ground around the Gugout was so open
that the Indians dared not rush" the
place. nor was there any show to use
keg of powder without reckless ex-
posurc. With their allies holding the
trail TO the east. the Cheyennes had en-
tered upon n siege in hopes to starve
the employees out. Their war ponies
and most Of the band were lying up in
the dry ravine for the night This ra-
vine had no opening to the south and
was therefore a cul de sac.
The first signs Of dawn were in the
sky when we saddled up, mounted, and
the whole Of us pushed forward, led
by the scouts, for the mouth of the RAJ
vine We had the Spencer carbines,
each with n full magazine and as we
got the order to charge each man be-
gan shooting. When a carbine was
empty, 1t was thrown away and a re-
volver used in its place. When the re-
volyer was empty. it was cast aside for

bank, we swept up the ravine, and we
had nothing to do but kill. Taken by
surprise the Chcyennes thought only
of getting away. We had scarcely got
to work when the eight men who had
been cooped up in the dugout sailed
out to take a hand in, and it was inade
the saddest sunrise the Cheyenne tribe
had ever seen. Not a pony could es-
cape out of that trap. Numbers of the
warriors scrambled up the banks and
got safely away. but nearly every one
left his weapons behind. The fight did
not last above 80 minutes, and our loss
was only three men wounded.
Down In that ravine we harvested rs
dead Indians, and on the banks above
the stage men counted mp % more. We
got upward of hundred rifles, about
90 pistols, 13O ponies and wagon load
of miscellaneous stuff. Every Indian
lying there was a dead one. Custer
had said. Shoot to KILL" and there
were no wounded or prisoners. Among
the killed were Spotted Horse, Big
Moon and White Bird, and that fight
broke the backbone of the Cheyenne
nation. Their part in the war was 10
