some bearing on this subject. though it is

not have progressed far Beyond Tien Tsin,

HURRIED EXODUS
FROM TAMPA, FLA.
One Death from yellow Fever and Two
Cases Known to Exist Those
Leaving Can't Stop in State.
CBy Associated Press

TAMPA, FLA, August 3.-Dr. J.. w.
Weldon, agent of the State Board OF
Health, to-day issued a public statement to
the effect that there had been one death in
Tampa from yellow fever. and that there
are two cases known at present.
The death was that of George Sonnen-
berg, a German who succumbed yesterday.
He was a tailor. and had not been outside
the city for years.
The only theory possible is that he con-
tracted the disease through cleaning
clothes from some infected point.
Strenuous efforts are being made to 10
cate the source of infection.
DR.. Porter, State Health Officer, is en-
route here, and will take charge.
Hundreds of people left the city on the
night trains, most Of them going 70 Atlanta
and other points in Georgia. The railroads
had no extra equipment and the exodus
was somewhat restricted.
Tampa is in a healthy condition, and
little fears are entertained of a spread Of
the disease. Railroads have been ordered
to sell tickets TO no one for points inside
the State All who desire to leave can do
so by going to places outside the State,
where they will be received.

HATE MAY REVEAL
ANARCHIST PLOT
An Italian States That He Was Pres
ent When the Plan to Kill Hum
bert Was Formed.
(By Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, August 3.--There is a
chance that hate will reveal much to the
authorities relative to the alleged plotting
of the anarchists, at Paterson, TO kill the
crowned heads of Europe.
Tonight in saloon in Straight Street,
an Italian, whose name does not appear
to be known to the proprietor of the place,
although it may be, and he vii! not dis
close it, said he knew OF a meeting held
in the city early in May, Of which he In
tended to inform the authorities. The
story he told was:
The Group of Existence held meeting
about the first of May. and after the others
had departed the leaders held long Sc
cret session. Those present were Brescl
Ouintayalli. Graisoni and -Alphonso Brani-
dies Esteve and Widmar, the editor OF
the paper issued by the Group, and one or
two others whom 1 may not reveal or
may, as circumstances occur. These men
talked over trip which Bresci, Quinta-
vatli, Graisoni and some others We're to
take. The meeting was held TO read
letter from Count Malatesta. There were
also letters from Genoa and Paris
"Ou!ntavalli left Paterson after the
meeting, which ended early in the morning.
Bresci also left, but came back on May
18th and collected his money at the silk
mill.
.-ialatesta is the man who led in all
these things. His is a great mind. The
others nre weak.
When he left Paterson he left Widmar
and EsteVe. neither of whom are Italians,
IN charge. and they have kept UP the
flame all the time and induced Italians to
keep alive the fiery teachings OF Mola tesla.
I know these things we'll. and have rea-
son for telling all. I hate Esteve, and |
would like 10 see him suffer-
When Esteve and Widmar were told of
this boast Of an Italian they seemed wor
ried and surprised. They tnlked toge 9er
in Itnlian, and then Esteve said that the
whole tale was false,
He said neither he nor Widmar knew
Bresci was going TO Italy. They had
never talked with Bresc about murder.
They Ind talked with him many times
over how to spread the teachings of an
archy through the United States

thirty-nine years old, had his head split
omen to-day by Plefro Marcelli. forty
years old an avowed Anarchist. Aretta
loudly condemned the Anarchists. He
sad he hoped Bresci would be tortured as
we'll as killed. and lauded King Humhert
as a great man and a good one.
Marcell rushed upon him with u club,
and although Aretta tried to save his
head Marceili hit him on the head with
the weapon and laid open the scalp.

and many officers, notably japanese and
