He Was Known as a quipositor In Bar- celona. and Used Two Names—Gen- eral de Azcorraga In the Dead Man’s Office For the Present; Madrid, Aug. 10.—The assassination of the prime minister of Spain, Senor Canovas del Castillo, who was-shot and killed by the Italian anarchist whose name is believed to be Michele Angine Golli, at the baths of Santa Agueda yesterday afternoon, was undoubtedly coldbioodedly premeditated. Golli de- liberately watched for an opportunity to kill the Spanish statesman, and he only fired when he had nochahce of missing. In fact the assassin, who was arrested almost immediately after the premier fell dying at the feet of his wife, has declared as much to the ex— amining magistrate. The prime minis- ter lingered for some time in agony and passed away with a cry of “Long live Spain!” Further details of the assassi- nation show that Senor Canovas del - Castillo and his wife were present yes- terday morning at the celebration of mass in the chapel attached to the baths. After mass the premier was reading and conversing with some re- SENOR CANOVAS. porters when the assassin approached and fired three shots at him with a re- valver, hitting him in the forehead. chest and left ear. The wounded man fell to the ground crying: “Assassin! Long live Spain!” The premier was carried to his room and expired at 1:30 p. m., after extreme unction had been administered to him by a priest of the Dominican order. Narrowly Escaped Lynching. The murderer, who was immediately seized by people who were in the vicin- ity of the scene of the crime, was se- verely handled and might have been killed had it not been for the protection afforded him by a number of civil guards, who soon ran to the scene of the assassination. The prisoner, who de- clared he had killed‘the premier “in the accomplishment of a just vengeance,” at first gave the name of Rinaldi and claimed that the deed was the outcome of an extensive anarchist conspiracy. Later, however, the assassin confeSsed that his real name was Michele Angine Golli, that he was 25 years of age, a na- tive of Boggia, near Naples, and that he left Italy and came to Spain in 1896. After reaching Spain Golli, according to his confession, resided at Barcelona and participated in the doings of the various anarchist associations of that place and vidinity. After sojourning at Barcelona for some time, Golli visited Frati‘ce and Belgium and returned to Spain irl July last. After his return the anarchist seems to have completed the plans for the assassination of the prime minister. He left Madrid for Santa Agueda at the same time as Senor Canovas del Castil- lo and awaited an opportunity to as- sassinate the statesman. In appearance Golli is of medium height, wears a full beard and spec- tacles and his demeanor is that of a quiet, law abiding citizen. He says he is satisfied With having done "his duty” and as’serts he had no personal grudge against the premier and was "merely obeying orders received from his supe- riors in the secret society to which he belongs. He frankly professes anarch- istic doctrines, says he was sentenced in 1895 to 18 months’ imprisonment in the jail at Lucera, Italy, and claims that he escaped from there to Mar- seilles, from which port he made his way to Barcelona. A Courteous Assassin. Senora Canovas del Castillo, wife of the premier, who was but a 'short dis- tance away from her husband when the crime was committed, rushed to his side upon hearing the shots and, seeing the premier dying on the ground, she bitterly reproached the‘ murderer for his crime. Golli, in reply to the ago- nizing words of the distracted wife, said: “-1 respect you because you are an honorable lady. But I have done my duty, and I am now easy in my mind, for I have avenged my friends and .brothers of Montjuich.” Montjuich is the fortress of Barcelona. outside of which the anarchists who have been sentenced to death for recent outrages have been executed by being shot in the back. The anarchists re- cently executed outside Montjuich were the last batch of the fiends who were guilty of’ throwing a bOmbon June 7, 1896, into a religious procession about to enter the church of Santa Maria de la Mar, upon the occasion of the Corpus Christi celebration. Twelve persons were instantly killed and about 50 oth- ers, several of whom have since died from their wounds, were injured. For this crime 26 anarchists were sentenced to death and the majority of them were executed. The condemned men invari- ably shouted, “Long live anarchy!” just before the orders to fire were given. The Spanish newspapers express great indignation at Golli’s crime. Even the periodicals which have republican leanings praise the services of the de- ceased statesman. The Imparcial says: “Yesterday will prove a black date for Spain. The crime will centuple the in- di nation of society against its would be estroyers." ~ Many of the newspapers today appear with black borders around their type. ‘ A Post Mortem Made. , A post mortem examination of the remains of the premier was made today, prior to embalming them for transpor- tation to this city. The funeraLwill be most imposing. , The indignation expressed at the crime is shared by all parties in politics, members of thecolonial secret societies were concerned in the outrage. It is reported that Senor A. Pidal, president of the chamber of deputies, will be appointed president of the council of ministers, in succession to the late - premier, at the expiration of the official nine days’ mourning. The ministers, for the present, will meet daily. Golli, it developed at the examination before a magistrate today, succeeded in firing two shots at the people who ar- rested him before he was overtovvered. The assassin calls himself a “revolu- tionary anarchist.” Senor Silvela, the leader of the Dissi- dent Conservatives, has followed the example of Senor Sagasta, the Liberal leader; Marshal Martinez de Campos and others and has tendered his con- dolences to the government, while plac- ing his services at the disposal of the ministers. The cabinet sat until 2 o’clock this morning and decided to publish in The Official Gazette today, which appeared with a black border, the appointment of Lieutenant General Don Marcelo de Azcarraga, the minister for war, as premier ad interim. Senor Sagasta has postponed his pro- jected visit to this city. In anticipation of possible disturb-. 'ances at Barcelona, the police force of that city has been re-enforced. Later in the "day it was announced that the highest military honors will be accorded the deceased at his'quneral. The court, however, will not return here from San Sebastian. the summer resi- dence, to attend the funeral ceremonies. The queen regent, however, will be rep- resented at the funeral by theDuke of Sotomayer, the chief major domo. The remains will be brought here tomorrow. Identity of the Assassin. Barcelona, Aug. 10.—Golli, the assas- sin of Senor Canovas del Castillo, was known here under the name of Achil- lolli. He formerly worked as a com- positor and was also known under the alias of Jose Santo. He was classed as a militant anarchist and was an inti- mate friend of Ascheri, the perpetrator of the outrage in the Calie de Cambros. Golli, or Achillolli. fled from Barcelona after this outrage. PALMA’S OPINION. Cuba’s Delegate Deplores Assassination From a Personal Point of View. New York, Aug. 10.—General Tomas Estrada Palma, the Cuban delegate, said today concerning the assassina- tion: “As a man, I deplore the assassi— nation; as a Cuban, I can but think that the cause I represent will benefit by it. “Cubans do not assassinate. We had nothing to do with the death of the Spanish premier. The man who mur- dered him was an Italian and an an— archist. There are no anarchists among the Cubans. “I have no sympathy with the an- archist assassin, but I cannot help looking upon the deed as one of retri- bution. Canovas had been behind Wey- ler in all of his barbarous acts of cruel- ty and Was responsible more than he for the depredations that have been com- mitted in Cuba. It was by his orders that women and children were mur- dered. He deserved what he got. “The death of Canovas will throw the political world of Spain into a state of chaos, and that state of chaos will ben- efit Cuba. "If the queen regent intends to con- tinue the Conservatives in power, then Silvela. the leader of the Conservative minority, will probably be made pre— mier. In that event VVeyler will be suc- ceeded in Cuba by General Polavieja. This man was captain general of the Philippine island-s. He is now in Spain. at liberty to go wherever he may be ordered. lie is the same sort of a man as Vv’eyler. He is another butcher. “Silvela recently remarked that if it should turn out that the whole people of Cum had arisen against Spain he would favor that the island should be freed by Spain. We cannot expect him to retain such ideas if he becomes pre- mier. John Sherman had certain ideas when he was a plain Senator, and he had to keep quiet about many Of them when he became secretary of state. So with Si‘yela. ' “Shcu‘d Sagasta be called into power he and the Liberals would give us an- tonomy, but we have given up every— thing in our fight for absolute freedom, and we will be satisfied with nothing less than that. “I wish to repeat my statement that the Cubans had nothing to do with the assassinatioh. Canovas caused the ex- ecution of the Barcelona anarchists,and his assassination is to be traced to that cause. The Spanish anarchists come from the north of Spain. They are closely connected with the French an- archists, and Canovas had been threat- ened for some time. I have read that the assassination was planned in Lon— don. There are no refugees in London. We Cubans have no sympathy with such men or such deeds.” Wrecked Alisa Destroyed. New York, Aug. 10.—The Merritt- Chapman Wrecking company has suc— ceeded in demolishing the hull of the British steamship Ailsa. The vessel was sunk more than one year ago in Graves- end bay, having been run down by the French steamship La Bourgogne. The wreck was blown to pieces by dynamite. The Wreckers are now at work blowing up the Allsa’s sister ship Alvena, sunk in Gedney’s channel, near Sandy Hook. Attempt to Kill a Prisoner, Barboursville, Ky., Aug. 10.—An at- tempt was made by Joseph McKinley to shoot Themas Dugan in jail. Dugan is on trial for the murder of John C. Colson. brother of Congressman Colson. McKinley was aided by the young son of the murdered man, and the purpose was frustrated by a deputy sheriff barely in time to prevent its execution. Yellow Fever on a Steamer. . San Francisco, Aug. 10.-—The steamer City of Para, from Panama, was imme- diately- sent into quarantine upon hex arrival here. A. Frerere. a French cabin passenger, died at sea last Thursday. having been taken with yellow fever on Aug. 1 He was buried at sea, with all his effects. There was no other sickness on board. Greater New York’s Mails. Washington, Aug. 10.—The commis- sion appointed to investigate the office of the superintendent of malls of New ' 39 Washington Streets outh Norwalla York, with especial reference to the working of the oflice in Greater New York, has madeits report to the ’post- master general. \It will be co, when General Gary returns to the city >,/'_ x». nsidered ll ' l COTTON MILLS CLOSING. Thousands of New England Factory Band’s Thrown Out of Work. . Manchester, N. IL, Aug. 9.—The Amoskeag Cotton mills, in pursuance of notices posted in July, have closed, and none of the plant except a portion in the machine shops, needed in making repairs, is operating. The shutdown is forIthe month of August and may be continued into September, but nothing definite relative to that fact can be as- certained, as it rests with the treasurer todecide. ' The Amory mill is closed for two weeks. A short demand for goods man- ufactured is understood to be the cause for the shutting down of this corpora- tion. During the shutdown needed re- pairs will be made. The total number of hands thrown out of employment will exceed 10,000. ' A Million Spindles Stopped. Fall River, Mass, Aug. 9.—The cur- tailment of the past week has taken 75,000 pieces out of the production, has stopped over a million spindles and has lost the operatives over $60,000 in wages. Eighteen cotton mills were closed dur- ing the week, and about the same num- ber will be shut down the coming week. The curtailment is practically a forced one. becauSe of the shortage of print cloth cotton, and the market has re- sponded to the con‘ditions and has gone up to 2 9-16 cents. There is nothing very ‘ definite known about curtailment be- yond next week. Still men in the trade insist that by Oct. 1 the production will have been cut off 50 per cent for Au- gust and September. Lowell Mills Closed. Lowell, Mass, Aug. 9.—The Massa- chusetts cotton mills have closed down for another fortnight. The notice ex- presses regret at the enforced idleness of the operatives, but says it is un— avoidable. With the mills already clos- ed about 5,000 operatives will be idle during the next fortnight.
