ANARCHISTS FROM ITALY CAME HERE TO KILL
 PRESIDENT M'ktNLEY.
TAKEN IN AT NEW YORK
Worked in Systematic Way to Get Here but Are Out-Gen.
 eral by Officers.

Seryice Agents Henry ana HaZen aad United States Marshal Bernard boarded the Kaiser Wilhelm II. when she arrived at her dock in Brooklyn today and placed under arrest two Italians, who said they were Natole Muresca and Michael Guido. Moresca was found among the coal passers, and Guido had been employed as steerage stew. ard since the steamer left Naples. The officers of the ship were notl- fled of the nature of tbe charges against the prisoners, but it was said that both men were known as anarchists in Italy, and that their arrest was made at the instigation Of the Italian government. The presence of Marshal Bernard gave foundation to this report. He is not legally attached to the United States Marshal's office in this city, but for years he has acted as an agent in New York for different foreign governments, especially in the capture of criminals fleeing here from foreign ports.
 Chief Officer Lang, of the Kaiser Wilhelm IT,, said tonight that there was something mysterious about the prisoners presence on board the ship. Moresea came aboard at Naples ard asked for job as steer age steward on the trip to New York. After being closely ques, tioned by Purser Julius Meyers, he was set to work in the place he had applied for, which is one that car ries no pay with it, and which was to terminate when the ship arrived here.
 Guido also came aboard at Maple s and stood around among the steer age passengers. He was asked by one Of the officers if he had a ticket, and replied that he did pot, but wanted 10 work hls passage to America. He was told that he might get chance at passing coal. Shortly afterward he went to the chief engineer and told him that be had been sent by one of the officers to report for duty as coal passer, and the chief engineer took his name and put him to work. No one aboard the ship remembered seeing the two men together during the voyage, and to all appearances they were atrangers. They attracted little attention and both attended strictly to their duties.
 THE ARREST.
 When the secret service men boarded the vessel today they asked if any new men had joined the crew at Naples. They were informed Of the eircum stances connected with the hiring of Guido and Moresca. The coal passers and steerage stew ard were lined ep on deck, and after looking them over, Agent Hazen, poin ting to Guido and Moresca, said: "These are the two men we vant.n The prisoners were then haudcuffed and taken away.
 Chief Office Lang said the two men could easily have made their escape from the ship before the de tectiyes boarded her had they been anxious to do so. Great secrecy was maintaired as to what was done with the prisoners. The were not taken to Ludlow street jail, tue customary place of incarceration for United States prisoners arrested by the secret service officers in this city. It was said that they had been taken to the barge office. where they would be detained until further notice, but none of the of l fcials at the barge office would fur nish any information about them or even admit that they were there.
 A sensational story was ahoat to l the effect that the men had come to l this country for the purpose of as- sassinating the President.
