New York, April 20-Acting on in formation received from Europe, where the news had leaked out, New York police and Federal officials, have, during the past week, or ten days, arrested several of the most prominent anarchists to be found in this city and in Trenton, New Jersey. The cause of the wholesale arrests was the rumor that plot to kill Pr esident Roosevelt had been plann- ed. J. Bartula, recent arrival from southern Europe was mentioned as the man sent by the European society to commit the deed. Yesterday afternoon, this man was found dis guised in one of the dives Of the river front. He was taken to police headquarters and put through sweat complete confession. His disclosures went back to the time of Me. kinley' s assassination, at which time he said te real assassin escaped, Czolgosz, the man executed for the crime, being but an assistant of the murderer That man. Bartula states, is expected from Europe during the spring or early summer, and will make the attempt to kill President Roosevelt ct tho Io.+ar's aouptrv pesidappa at Oyster Bay. The authorities don't put any credence in the story, in so far as the Me. Kinley matter is concerned. as they have information about Czolgosz which has never been made public, which leaves no ques- tion in their minds of his guilt. It is altogether probable that there will be wholesale deporatation of the arrested paties, and the police of Europe will be waiting for them when they arrive on the other side of the Atlantic.

During the fire a severe earthquake shock was felt, and the superstitious natives, beilev- ing that the end of the world was at hand, fled to the hills at the rear of the city leaving everything they possessed behind them.

 Havana, Cuba, April Ex-Governor Magoon made the announcement this morning that he and his cabinet had decided to expend S20, 900, GOO in build ing roads to the most inaccessible portion of the island. A bond issue will be hoated soon as the prelImi- naries can be attended to, and the work of construction will then be pushed with the utmost vigor. Ma goon believes that with large national undertaking of such nature being executed the spirit of unrest TOW so common will be eliminated to great degree at least and stable govern ment can then be maintained.
