No effort is made to reconcile that
statement with Earl LIS refusal to al

One thing that GOodnow did not report
was a story at Shanghai that "Liu-
Kun-Yi. viceroy of Nankin, and Sheng,
administrator of telegraphs and of rail-
ways, and taotai of Shanghai, have
both declared officially that the foreign

ernment as hostages. and that If the

and Captain Bacciali on the subject of
Lieutenant Brescfs course. Captain
TAM had expressed sympathy with the
lieutenant. whereupon Captain Bacciali
declared that he could no longer offer
his hand to Lieutenant Bresci. Bac-

New York anarchist, is reported to
have made the confession that the plot
in which Bresci, Sachi, Quentivalli
and himself, all United States anar-
chists, were engaged, included the
death of Queen Margherfta, but it
failed because she did not go with the
king to the fete on the fatal night.

LANA AN ARDENT ANARCHIST.
MaIatesta Is the Reported Manager of the
Assassination bureau.

Assassination bureau.
He appeared in the Italian quarter
with LaBelle Teresa. and then when
Bresci apparently laid siege TO the af-
fections of the fair and tickle queen of
the reds the student was not seen
again. He seems to have been in the
company which went on its mission of
murder to the shores of the old world.
On the same steamer was Antonio
Lama who may have been Antonio
Lana, the baker arrested on the other
side as the accomplice of the assassin,
and known here as an anarchist of the
most ardent hue. His friends say that
he sailed from this port about May 10.
He disappeared from his familiar
hauntS about that time. at least.
I'm this personally conducted excur-
sion of course EnricO Malatesta is
credited with being the managing di-
rector. Reports yesterday from Gin
cinnati tell of an effort of Malatesta
to get 4 man to go from that city to
kill the Italian king. He did not find
the willing tool there, but here, with
in a few miles of New York, he dis
covered a man willing to do the bid
ding of the arch conspirator. In the
city of New York he found Lana, the
baker. and LaBelle Teresa, whose
were up DS
the Italian agents. He sent them across
the seas by various steamers and with
instructions which meant death to the
heads which wore the European
crowns.
"It was found yesterday that the
woman known as LaBelle Teresa was
once married to man named Brug-
noli, maker of macarOni. The name
Ighina. ty which the woman was gen.
orally known, was her maiden name.
She had n daughter Ida, from whom
the police yesterday were seeking to
get some Information concerning the
departure OF her mother for Italy. The
woman arrested in Italy as BreSci's ac
complice is tall and had brown hair.
LaBelle Teresa was both tall and fair
haired. This is unusual for an Italian
woman. She is about 80 years old"
