ANARCHISTS FOLLOWED
AMERICAN FLEET

Paris, Jan. 2S.--Speaking Of the
alleged anarcnlstlc plot TO blow up
the American battleship fleet in Rio
de Janelro harbor, NJ Monquin, chief
of the special brigade of police in
structed with the surveillance OF an
archists, has reason for believing
that such an act was really contem-
plated.
1T is a notable fact" said NJ
Monquin "that at the time the
American fleet was preparing TO
leave for it's trip to san Francisco,
fully a score of dangerous anarchists
left France for various North and
South American ports. We could not
stop them, as we had nothing against
them, but we Immediately informed
our colleagues across the Atlantic, so
as to put them on their guard.
1T is quite conceivable that anar-
chists like those in question-mostly
Russians and Italians-should form
ulate a plan to blow up the Ameri-
can fleet. They have nothing against
America, but they desire, above all
things, to impress the popular i'm
agination. Now that they have lost
their chance at Rio, the American
fleet Is probably safe"
