immediate'y after the premier fell dead
at the feet of his wife, declared as
mucti to the examining magistrate.
The minister lingered some time in
misery and passed away with the cry:
“Long live Spain!”
Further details of the assassination
show that Senor Castillo and his wife
were present at the celebration or mass,
in the chapel attached to the baths.
After mass the premier was reading and
■ conversing with some reporters when
the assassin approached and fired three
shots at him with a revolver, hitting
him in the forehead, chest and left ear.
The wounded man fell to the ground
crying, “Assassin! Long live Spain I”
The premier was carried to his room
and expired at 1:80 p. m. after extreme
unction had been administered to him
by a priest of the Dominican order.
A Lynching Barely Averted.
The murderer, who was immediately
seized by the people who were in the
vicinity of the scene of the crime, was
severely handled and might have been
killed had it not been for the protection
afforded him by a number 'of civil
guards, who soou ran to the scene of
the assassination. The prisoner, who
declared that he had killed the premier
in “the accomplishment of a just ven
geance,” at first gave the name of Ri
naldi and claimed that the deed was the
outcome of an extensive auarchist con
spiracy. Later, however, the assassin
confessed that his real name was
Michaelo Augine Golli, that he was 26
years of age. a native of Boggia, near
, Naples, and that he left Italy and came
to Spain in 1896.
After reaching Spain, Golli. accord
ing to his confession, resided at Barce
lona and participated in the doings of
the various anarchist associations of
that place and vicinity. After sojourn
ing at Barcelona for some time, Golli
visited France and Belgium, returning
to Spain in July last After his return
the .anarchist seemed to have completed
the plans for the assassination of the
prime minister. He left Madrid for
Santa Agueda at the same time as Senor
Oanovas del Castillo and waited an op
portunity to assassinate the statesman.
In appearance Golli is of medium
height, wears a full beard and specta
cles and his demeanor is that of a
quiet, law-abiding citizen. '
Slayer Says Ha Did His Daly.
He says he is satisfied with having
“done his duty,” and asserts that he
had no pei>onal grudge against the pre
mier and was merely obeying orders
from his superiors in the secret society
to which he belongs. He frankly pro
fessed anarchist doctrines and says he
was sentenced in 1889 to three months’
imprisonment in the jail at Lucerne, in
Italy. He claims that he escaped from
there to Marseilles, from which port he
made his way to Barcelona.
Senora Oanovas, wife of the premier,
who was but a short distance away from
her husband when the crime was com
mitted, rushed to his side upon hearing
the shots. As the premier lay dying
upon the ground she bitterly reproached
the murderer for his crime.
Golli, in reply to the agonizing groans
of the distracted wife, said:
“I 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 Mont Juich. ”
Mont Juich is the fortress of Barce
lona, outside of which the anarchists
who have been sentenced to death for
recent outrages nave been executed by
being shot in the back. The anarchists

about to enter the Church of Santa Ma

Corpus Christi celebration. Twelve per
sons were instantly killed and about 50
others, several of whom since died from
their wounds, were injured. For this
crime 26 anarchists were sentenced to
death and many of them executed.
Spanish Papers Indignant,
The Spanish newspapers express great
indignation at Golli’s crime. Even the
journals that have Republican leanings
praise the services of the dead states
man.
Tne Imparcial says:
“Yesterday will prove a black date
for Spain. The crime will centuple th
indignation of society against this
would-be destroyer.”
▲ post mortem examination of the re
mains oi the premier was made prior to
embalming them for transportation to
this city. , The funeral will be most im

The indignation expressed at the
crime is shared by- all parties in politics,
and it is generally believed that the
members of the coMuial secret societies
were concerned in tne outrage.
It is reported that iienor A. Pidall,
president of the chamber of deputies,
will be appointed present of the coun
cil of ministers in succession to the late
premier, at the expiration of the nine
days’ mourning.
Golli developed in the examination
before the magistrate that he succeeded
in firing two shots at the people who
arrested ,him before he was overpow
ered. The assassin calls himself a "rev
olutionary anarchist.”

STRIKE BEGINS TO CAUSE HUNGER
Among the Families In the Wheelng Division
and in the 'Panhandle District.
Living in Camps.
Pittsburg, Aug. 9.—A1l the miner?
of the New York and Cleveland Gas
Coal company, who were still at work,
were paid Monday, but those who
struck did not receive any money, the
company insisting upon the terms of
the contract by which the men agreed
to forfeit all money due them in cash if
they refused to wort All the miners
who can give a reasonable excuse.for
attending the meetings will be paid.
The company has the names of all the
men who have been at these meetings
and took part in any of the demonstra
tions. Unless they can give a satis
factory explanation they will get no
money. The strikers say ?he men have
promised to quit work as soon as they
get their pay, but their superintendent.
Samuel DeArmitt, says the strikers will
not take a man out of Plum Creek mine,
except 29, who will be discharged.
Some of the details for the march on
the mines in Westmoreland couqty and
central Pennsylvania have been, ar
ranged. It will probably be made Tues
day, but no later thau Wednesday. It
is expected to take a small army of men.
from the Pittsburg district and march,
to the mines that are in operation. Sev
eral brass bands have been engaged and.'
it is hoped to make a successful cam
paign. Word has been received that
many of the men who are at work are
anxious for the appearance of the
marchers, as it will give them a subter
fuge for quitting work. Cameron Mil
ler said that as far as the New York
and Cleveland mines are concerned the
situation was very gratifying. He in
timated that the mines would not be
neglected on account of the campaign,
commenced in Westmoreland. He said
that there would be enough men left at
the three mines to guard them and see
to it that they are kept idle.
Nowaskl, the Connellsville agitator,
who addressed the meeting in four lan
guages, was expelled from the camp
and ordered to jstay away for using pro
fane language in his speech.
William Briscalia, a day man at Plum
Creek, was riding his bicycle, when he
was assaulted by four of the strikers
and badly injured. His wheel was badly
broken and he will be layed up for sev
eral weeks. .
The strike is beginning to cause hun
ger among the miners’ families along
the Whee.ing division and in the Pan
handle district. At the mines where
company shops have been in operation
the destitution is great. The most of
these shops were closed up shortly after
the strike and the strikers now have no
place where their credit is good. The
male members of the strikers’ families
are living better in the camps than the
women and the smaller children are at
home.
