ATTEMPT ON LIFE OF DIAz
ASSASSIN SHOOTS FIVE TIMES AT
MENICO'S PRESIDENT.


G~uanajuato. Mexico. October a.
Great excitement was caused here today
by an attempt on the life of President
Diaz. who was a guest of the state gov
eminent. during the festivities here.
The president, his staff and guests were
passing by the Cantager Garden in a
street car, when a man of the lower
class named Ellis Toscano approached
the car shouting, and fired five shots
from a revolver at the car, finally doing
no harm.
Palko Escandon, of the presidents
staff. rushed out of the car n caught
the man, Wrenching the revolver from
his grasp. The police took Toscano to
prison. He is a man with a bad crimi-
nal record and was but recently re-
leased from prison at Creanditas, where
he had served a term for homicide. The
matter will be Investigated.
The president remained perfectly cool
and was acclaimed by the crowd Of cit
liens who showed their joy at his es-
cape.
Toscano's evil record renders h
theory Of a deliberate attempt at as
s~aSSination probable

lations of the citizens and diplomatic
corps
New York, October 27.-An attempt
was made on the life Of President Diaz
on December 16, 1897. He attended on
that day the public celebrations in the
city of Mexico of the anniversary Of
Mexican Independence. During the fes-
Invites, a man rushed toward him and
evading all efforts made to check his
progress, reached the presidents side
and attempted to kill him. Great ex-
element prevailed, but it was seen that
the efforts of the murderer had been
futile. President DiaZ was not hurt.
The assassin was at once arrested and
thrown into prison. This attempted
murder created much excitement and
subsequently the assassin was dragged
from prison by Il mob and lynched.
G~uanajuato is about Seventy-five
miles northwest of Mexico City. 1t is
s~ingularly situated in deep narrow
mountain defiles, of 5000 feet above
sea level. 1t is formed of a number of
villages located around the mines and

Lon ION, October Z~..-Sagatel Sag
2ouni, president of the Armenian Rev
~oiutiHnary Society in London, was
murdered in a suburb OF Nunhead late
yesterday evening.
The crime has created a sensation
as it has every appearance of being
Of a political character and has been
preceded by the assassination of 9TH
er officials of branches Of the same
society on the continent.
Sagouni. who only returned to Lon
don yesterday, was entering his resi-
dence when a man rushed across the
o and fired -four shots at Sagouni,
in quick succession, the last bullet en-
tering the region of the heart. The
murderer, who appeared to be a for
eigner, fled. The only clues to he
man, in possession of the authorities,
are a felt hat and a silver plated re-
volver, 10Th made in New York, which
he dropped in his flight.
The murdered man, who was a min
ing engineer. became wealthy in the
caucasus and devoted his money to
the Armenian cause. His society was
entirely passive and opposed to VIC
ence and it is thought by some thai
this attitude inspired the advanced
section of the ArmenianS with the de-
sire for vengeance. Sagouni is said
to have moved to England from New
York early in 1902.
SaSouni'S friends attribute the muir
der to he lfarist section IF the Hent-
chakist society. This section, headed
by a man named Altar. was expelled
from the society after the split in
were paid spies Of the sultan of Tur-
key. The feud became more acute IN
1902 and an attack on the editor of the
Boston edition of h Hentchak fol-
lowed. A former editor of the Hent-
chalk, HaZarbeck, was stabbed last
week at Lausanne, Switzerland, by an
| Alfarist.
A Ia was arrested OF suspicion of
being the murderer or Sagouni but
later released from custody.
The police are Of the opinion that
the aSsailant of H~azarbeck, at Lau-
same and the murderer of Sagouni
are identical.
1t is stated that ~Sagouni's life had
been threatened on account Of his
participation in he by the
editor of a Boston newspaper. Young
Armenia, of the misrepresentation OF
funds by a faction of the Armenian
revolutioniStS. These men are alleged
to have collected $4,000 in America in
1902 and put the money In their own
pockets, instead of pushing the pro
paganda for the emancipation of the
Armenians, for which the one was
subscribed.
Boston, Mass, October 27-The muir.
der of Sagatel SagOuni, president Of
the Armenian Revolutionary Society
in london is not regarded as being OF
great political significance by Armen'
ions in this city. but rather as a result
of a bitter feeling which exists be
tween two factions within the revolu'
tionary party itself. In support OF
this view was cited the recent attempt
to asSassinate an Armenian editor
Peter Kuregan. in this city by mem
bers Of the revolutionary party, SAID
to hold socialist views, which Kuregai
opposed. At the trial Of the case. ar
officer Of the party testified that tn
members of the socialist wing haC
taken oath to remove "all obstruc'
tons in SPREADING their views.

possibly 10 two others. Jane and me,

After we had settled everything we

Mary slyly kissing Brandon at the
door. | tried 10 induce Jane to follow
her lady's example. but she was as
cool and distant as the new moon.
The next day Brandon paid his re-
spects TO the king and queen. made his
adieus to his friends and rode off alone
to Bristol. You may be sure the king
showed no signs OF undue grief at his
departure.
