This man was ar rested at o'clock Saturday morning. Gabriel Lopez, the doorkeeper, is man of middle age. He was examined before a magistrate this morning. He declar- ed that the man who gave him the car tridges and told him to throw them as the royal coach passed was Francisco Suarez Suarez is notorious for the part he played in an attempted outrage upon the late Canovas de Cistillo seven years ago, when he accompanied an anarchist named Ruiz, who intended to explode a bomb in Canovas de Castillo's garden. The bomb exploded prematurely, Ruiz was killed and Suarez was badly injur eds He was committed to prison for seven years and has only recently been liberated. Lopez was confronted yes- terday with Suarez and accused the lat ter of giving him the dynamite car- tridges This Suarez denied and both men are detained
 Four other men have been arrested in connection with the affair and none of them denies being an anarchist.
