Vienna, Sept. U. The pUu lor th
funeral of the Uta Empress Elisabeth,
WBo was assassinated by an anarchist
on Saturday at Oetitva, contemplate
brlnflnf the remains to Vienna nest
Thursday, a lying-ln-sUU on Friday,
md the obsequies of Interment on Sat
urday. The assassin Is Luatf Lulg-tnl, a na
tive of Italy and an ex-Italian soldier.
He bed been working as a stone mason
In Geneva, and- last month he took
the preliminary steps to become a
naturalized 8wlss. His application
papers, however, he withdrew last
Monday. The Italian records show that
Lulglnl was an Illegitimate child and
took bis mother's name.: He has been
twice arrested as a defaulter from mil
itary service.
The Inhuman desperado wielded a
three sided file, very slender and sharp.
The weapon inflicted at one ' single
blow a mortal wound, the keen Instru
ment piercing the breast of the unfor
tunate victim Just above the heart. In
ternal bleeding ensued, and after a
- priest, who had been hastily sum
moned, had administered extreme unc
tion to the dying woman she expired
In great agony.
The empress had been for several
days a guest at Beaurlvage, and was
walking from the hotel when the mur-
ANARCHY'S LATEST VICTIM,
derer committed his atrocious crime.
After having been stabbed the empress
arose and walked on board the steamer,
where she fell, fainting. The captain
did not wish to put off from the quay,
but did so at the request of the em
press and her suite, there being no ap
prehension that she was seriously hurt.
The steamer was turned back, before
reaching ,tbft .open, lake, ,and the. api-.
'press, unconscious was oarrled to tha
hotel on a stretcher. Doctors and
priests were Immediately summoned,
and a telegram was sent to Emperor
Francis Joseph. Efforts to revive her
majesty were unavailing, and she ex
pired at 3 o'clock.
After striking the blow the assassin
ran along the Rue des AlpeB, with the
evident Intention of entering the
Square des Alpes, but befere reaching
It he was seized by two cabmen who
had witnessed the crime. They handed
him over to a boatman and a gendarme,
who conveyed him to the police sta
tion. The prisoner made no resistance.
He even sang as he walked along, say
ing: "I did It," and "She must be
dead." At the police station he de
clared that he was a "starving an
archist, with no hatred for the poor,
but only for the rloh." Throughout
the examination of the assassin his de
meanor was one of revolting cynicism.
He frankly congratulated himself upon
the success of his crime. He said: "I
am an anarchist, but I belong to no
committee. I acted on my own initia
tive. Let them do as they like with
me. That is my strength." He added
that he regretted that the death pen
alty does not exist In the canton where
the tragedy occurred.
In prison he has boasted of his crime,
and he has addressed a letter to a
Milan newspaper expressing a fear lest
he be mistaken by . Professor Caesar
Lombroso for a degenerate. Dilating
In this communication upon the ob
jects ef militant anarchism he wrote:
"Above all It Is the great who must
be struck. Mot only sovereigns and
their ministers will be reached by the
comrades, but all who make men mis
erable on earth."
He says he was not Impelled by
misery to kill the empress, as such a
course would have been Idiotic, but
he committed the deed "in order that
such crimes, following one upon an
other, might cause all who Impoverish
the populace to tremble and shiver."
The document concludes: "I am an
anarchist by conviction."
The autopsy on the body of the mur
dered empress took place yesterday. It
showed that both the lung and heart
were pierced by the assassin's dagger.
The examination showed an almost
Imperceptible wound, the file . having
penetrated the heart and not causing
exterior bleeding.
As yet the authorities have found no
confirmation that the murder was part
of an anarchist conspiracy, but a dozen
persons with whom the assassin as
sociated have been arrested for' ex
amination. EmprcsB Elisabeth was about return
ing to Caux, France, when she was
murdered. . Her suite had proceeded
her by train, leaving with her only her
maid of honor. Countess Szapary, and
a man servant. ' '

Advertiser prints the following as a
portion of an Interview with General
Joseph Wheeler, and states that the
general was in the presence of three
gentlemen, one of whom Is Hon. Sam

porter: i
"I do not believe the war Is over by
any means; neither does President Mc
Ktnley, who told me personally he had
no faith that the peace commission
would settle the differences existing
with Spain over the Philippines. The
Spanish claim that the battles at Man
ila were fought after the protocol was
Blgned, and on these grounds will re
fuse to give up the islands."
Continuing, General Wheeler said:
"Spain will want us to give up the
Philippines," and. laying emphasis
here, "we will never do that. I am
going back to duty, and really expect
to be called Into action again."

A correspondent here has had an a-
tervtew with Agulnaldo, who said tha-e
were 67,000 Insurgents armed with li
lies. He added he could raise 18 ,000
men. Indeed, the Insurgent letder
pointed out, the whole populatlrd of
the Philippine Islands was wlllhg to
fight for their Independence. ' It
Continuing, Agulnaldo said Bi l-ad
000 military prisoners. Incluhlrtf 5.000
in the vicinity or Manila, ix-iia-s cmi
prisoners. .
Later Agulnaldo said the 'Dvinciai
government" was now op-ptlng 28
provinces.. He asserted that It Aug. i
they elected delegates, Inl lumbers
proportionate to the populalm.
As to the Americans, Agiraldo re
marked that he considered them as
brothers and that "the twl sovereign
republics were allied against a common
enemy." I
When questioned as to I nether the
future Filipino policy wodrt be abso

himself from replying, an J askad what
America Intends to do.
The corresDondent belss unable to
answer this question, Afulnoldo con
tlnued
'We have been fighting for Indepen
dence for a long time. Tie natives who
profess to favor annexaJon are tnsln
cere. It Is merely a rule to ascertain
American views."
Asked If the Fillplru would object
to the retention of Muiilla. Agulnaldo
declined to answer.
"Would the Flliplnosjnbject to Amer

nising the Independence of the Islands
or establishing a temporary protecto.
rate over them?"
Agulnaldo again declined to answer,
Pending the conclusion of the assem
bly, Agulnaldo said, he was confident
there would be no trouble Between
America and the Filipinos.
The Insurgent lealer donlcvl having
received a requept from General Otis
and Rear Admiral Dtwey to withdraw
his tronns tn a drescrlbed distance
from Manila and Ciivlte, and he declin
ed to discuss the effect of such a re.
quest. I
Aculnalilo further asserted that he
h -nrvpr coiuerrpu wun me Amen'
can authorities slnco the capitulation
of Manila, and that he hail never au
thorized the Insurgents to search or I
disarm Americans crossing the lines.
The correspondent closely questioned
him about Inst Saturday's Incident,
when the Pennsylvania troops proceed
ed to establish a new outpost. The
Filipinos objected and nearly precipi
tated hostilities, ordering tho Ameri
cans to withdraw In 20 minutes. They
issued amnunition and Intercepted the
American reinforcements. Finally
General Hale ordered all the Pcnnsyl-
vanlans to advance, and tho rebels
withdrew.
The local governor has explained that
the incident was a complete mistake,
and has repudiated his sulnrdlnats'
action. Agulnaldo declared to this cor
respondent that tho Flllplnft who made
the trouble merely pretundod to bo an
officer, and Is entirely unconnected with
the Insurgent army.
Agulnaldo complnlned that the Span
lards wore "disseminating false reports
for the purpose of fomenting antagon
ism between the Flllplnon and the
Americans."
The whole Interview conveyed tho
Impression that Agulnaldo desires ab
solute independence, regards the mis
sion of the Americans here as accom
plished, and expects their withdrawal,
"Just ns the French with Lafayette
withdrew after helping the Americans
in the war of Independence, a war of
humanity."
Just now Agulnaldo maintains the
role of extreme friendship.
PORTO RICO COMMISSION.
Spaniards Given Two liny In Which
to Aimwer Our Demnr.dM.
. San Juan de Porto Rico, Scot. 13.
The two evacuation commissions held
an hour's session yesterday and ad
journed until tomorrow. The American
commissioners made known their po
sition regarding the evacuation and
transfer of the Island, in accordance
with their Instructions from Washing
ton. These Instructions they decline
to make public at present, as pub
licity might lead to embarrassment In
negotiations, but the Spanish commis
sioners did not disclose their positions
nor the nature of their Instructions.
They manifested, however, willing
ness to secure as much expedition as
possible, and our commissioners are
much satisfied with the way in which
their demands have been Informally
received. The adjournment gives the
Spaniards time to prepare their reply.
When that Is presented the issue will
be Joined and the situation become
clear.
What effect, If any, the appearance
of yellow fever among the troops at
Ponce will have Is problematical.
Should the fever spread it would
doubtless Induce the American com
missioners to hasten the evacuation to
the utmost, but as yet there is not the
slightest reason to expect an epidemic.
General Brooke says two cases have
been reported to him and one death. As
soon as he learned of these he caused
all suspects to be Isolated, with a view
of preventing tho spread of the Infec
tion. It la believed that the cases
originated in the Spanish prison at
Ponce. , ....... , ..

Santiago de Cuba, Sept lV-As the

la quit extraordinary, considering the
Conditions that existed here a month
ago.
Under the present system Santiago Is
divided Into five divisions, under Ave
physicians, each division having In
spectors of sewers, streets, houses and
dispensaries, with a hundred street
cleaners.
Five hundred cubic yards of refuse
are burned dally, disinfectants are dis
tributed wherever they are needed and
a heavy fine is I nj posed for uncloanll
ness and failure To report unhealthful
conditions and death.
Quick proofs of the benefit of the
system are furnished by the decrease In
sickness among the poor. The dally
death rate of 70 a month ago has fallen
to 20. Further evidence of the wisdom
and thoroughness of the sanitary ar
rangements is supplied by the lessening
of sickness among the troops.
The chief souroe of trouble now Is the
harbor. " Near the city the current Is
Blight. A plan Is proposed to dredge
thoroughly the muddy shallows ex
posed by the tide and to protect the
banks with either ston work or piles,
carrying the present Infectious sewer
age two miles down the bay, where the
current Is swifter.
The sickness among the Amerlcnn
soldiers is principally malarial, a mild
form of yellow fever and dysentery,
General Wood expects, In the course of
another month, to make Santiago as
healthful as the ordinary southern city
in the United State.
This week all the Spanish prisoners
will leave nnd the Cuban army, save
the staff officers, will disband.
Many Americans are arriving here
In search of business opportunities.
