from Madrid OF the suicide of the
Would-be assassin Of King Alfonso and
queen Victoria, together with the dis
coVery OF bombs at Ancona. Italy. sup-

any knowledge of the anarchist Mo-
rales, and persist in denying that the
oomb throwing was plotted in London.
1t has been stated that the Spanish
government viii communicate with the
British foreign Office concerning the at
tempt on the lives of King Alfonso and
Queen Victoria. This. however. is in
correct. The matter has beeen left en-
tirely In the hands Of the police.

Morales was none other than the miss
ing Fairs. or Avino, who threw a bomb
at King Alfonso in Paris a year ago.

Great Britain's attitude might Derbans
be modified with advantage with regard
to the asylum offered anarchists. but
contends that it is a subject bristling
with difficulties and calling for most
careful investigation.
