A FOUL CONSPIRACY.
Anarchists Arrested Suspected to Be
in a Plot to Kill Mckinley.
They Have Been Taken SingIy and
I'm Pairs From Incoming Ocean
Liners for the Past
Ten Days.

New York, Aug. 19.-The Evening
World Saturday published the follow
ing relative to the news received from
Washington Friday of the detention
at the barge Office in this city by Sc
cret service agents Of Notable Maresca
and Michil Weida, supposed anarch-
lists, who arrived Friday on the Kaiser
Wilhelm III. These two men are I'M
derstoOd to have come to this cOun-
try as cOnspirators, whose object, it
is alleged, was the assassination of
President Mckinley. The Evening
World says:
Instead of two, high government
official informed the Evening World
Saturday that there are IA anarchists
under arrest at the detention prison
of the bureau of immigration. They
are all charged with being in a con-
spiracy to assassinate President Nc
Kinley, and have been taken singly
and in pairs from incoming ocean
liners within the last ten days.
LIMITED States secret services learn
that an anarchist circle in Naples
had cast lots to determine who should
be the assassin. Eleven ItAlians and
three Austrians were selected. Closely
followed, they sailed for different ports.
Their object was to strike individual
blows at the president at the same
time. That would make success sure.
las fast as the men arrived secret
service agents, disguised as emigrants,
went among them and they were ar
rested. Maresica and Weida, caught
Friday, were two of IA.
1.-THE conspiracy was made on a
night early in August. By working
with the Italian police the secret
service agents disguised as emigrants
meeting of the circle in Naples. The
men selected for the work in this
country were notified what they were
to do, operators going singly or in
pairs to different ports in Europe.
Some went to France, others to Ger
many, while others crossed the chan
mel to England.
When MaFesca boarded the Kaiser
Wilhelm III. at Naples, August 3,
secret service agent was close on his
heels.
Maresca professed to have no
money when he boarded the steamer
and made application to be taken as
cook. Failing in that, he asked for a
stewardship. There was a vacancy
in the steerage cabin and he secured
that. 1t was not known that he had
a companion. He and Weida did not
come aboard together. AS far as is
known, no one saw Weida come
aboard, and he was not discovered
until six hours after the vessel sail
ed. When found he was secreted as
a stowaway. He was put to work
in the hold with the coal passers, and
kept busy until the boat reached
quarantine.
Chief Hazen admitted Saturday that
the two men were supposed to be
anarchists, and confirmed the story
of the plot Matched in Naples in Au-
gust, to kill President Mckinley.
Further than this Chief Hazen de-
clined to talk, on the ground that he
was in communication with Chief
WillIie in Washington who had asked
that all news concerninassth the sus-
poets come from him (Wilkie).
Chief WillSie. is quoted as saying:
"The two men are not arrested.
They are simply detained at quaran-
tine. They will be deported when the
Kaiser Wilhelm goes back to Europe.
1t is true that on August 1 this gov
eminent was advised from NaDles
that Maresca had left Italy for the
United States with the purpose of
attacking the president. 1t was said
that the man was a most undesired
emigrant. I may have more inter
esting story to tell later
