Toxic, April 18.-Discussing the

China, Jill Shimpo declares that the
use OF the island of Madagascar by
the Russian squadron was direct

point for effecting a junction with the

If the use OF Kamranh bay is con.

The Jill Shimpo further declares
that France is lending the Russians

Hands on Bomb Throwers-Promi.
nent People Concerned.

ST. petersburg, April 18.-Gradually
many interesting details surrounding
the recent arrest of a band of ahou
dozen terrorists are leaking out.
The capture, which is regarded by
the authorities as being Of immense
Importance, was accomplished by Ka
shovsky, the Russian lecoca who was
dismissed from the secret police ser
vice several years ago on account OF
his connection with PHILIPPE the Spir.
ltuallst, who created such a stir at
court several years ago and who, too,
went to Paris to live.
Governor General Trepoff on his an.
polntment as governor general of st.
Petersburg, induced Kashovsky to re.
turn to st. Petersburg and within two
weeks the detective captured the en-.
tire band which had been operating
here under the direction of the central
organization which apparently has its
headquarters in Switzerland. Alfred
Henry Mccullough, the man killed on
March IL, by the accidental explosion
OF bomb at the Hotel Bristol, whose
real name was Rauman, was one OF
the chiefs of the terrorists having
charge of the manufacture of bombs.
and Kalieff, who killed Grand Duke
Sergius, also belonged to the same
group.
After Bauman's death Kalieff's du.
ties devolved upon Mile. Leontieff.
daughter of General Leontieff. who re.
Gently was appointed governor of va.
kutsk, eastern Siberia.
Mile. Leontieff became a convert tC
the terrorists during her stay at Lu
cerne, Switzerland. Kaliefs iden-
tity was uncovered by the discovery
of photographs belonging to Sayin
koff, who had been his comrade botl
at the University and i'll exile. When
kalieff was charged with his identity
he admitted it,asaying Immediately
"Savinkoff has been arrested"
The police later thought they had
captured Savinkoff and so announced il
publicly, but it turns out that the man
held under that name was another
and that Savinkoff, to whom KALI
evidently had confided his intention OF
killing Grand Duke Sergius, is still.
