ANAHCIIISrS ACT Milium of Austria AsKasnluatcu I17 an Italian. Hil IJfALDO IS JUk'lXG TKOl'BI.E Dewfr Ak for Kflafurcenients.ile Thinks situation at Manila la Critical. Gkkkva, Switzerland, Sept. 10. The etiiprexgof A list rid was assasninated near the llotol Ileaurivaxe this afternoon by an anarchist, who was arreated. It appears that her majesty was walk lrK from hor hotel to the landing place of the aluarner at about 1 o'clock, when an Italian anarrtintt suddenly appeared and slabbed her to the heart. The em press fell, and was carried to the Hotel IWurivatfe, where she expired. The stretcher upon which the empress was carried to the hotel was hastily im provised with oars and sail cloth, doc tors and priests were immediately sum moned, and a telegram was sent to Em peror Francis Joseph. All efT'jrts lo revive her majesty were unavailing, and she expired at 3 o'clock. The rneilical examination shows that the aHMaasin muxt have used a small tri aniiuUr fiie. Afttr striking the blow he ran along the Kue Des Alpes, with the evident intention of entering the square Los Alpes, but before reaching it he was seized by two cabmen, who had wit nessed the crime. They handed him over to a boatman and a gendarme, w ho conveyed him to the police station. The prisoner made no resistance. lie even sang as he walked along, saving "I did it," and "She must rm dead." At the police station he declared that he was a "starving anarchist, with no hatred for the poor, but only lor the rich." Later, when taken to tlie courtl,uue and interrogated by a magistrate in the presence of three members of the local government and the police officials, he pretended not to know French and re fused to answer questions. The police, on searching him, found a document show bis name to be Luigi Laochini, born in Paris in 1874, and an Italion soldier 'A great crowd quickly assembled around the Hotel Beaurivage, where the officials proceeded after interrogating the prisoner. The police searched the scene of the crime for the weapon, and the ac complices of the assassin. It appears that a boatman noticed three persons closely following the em press, who was making purchases in the shops. The local government, immediately on receiving the news of her majesty's death, half-masted the flig on the hotel de ville (the municipal office), and pro ceeded in a body to the Hotel Beaurivage as a token of respect. The excitement increased, and many of the shops on the Kureanl were closed. The empress' wound was just over the left breast. There was hardly any bleed ing. A priest was secured in time to ad Diini -iter the extreme unction. TheaHsasain, while being interrogated by the magistrate, snid thut he came to Geneva with the intention of killing the Due d'Orleans, but the latter had al ready left. Laochini (or Luccesi) fol lowed the duke to Evian, about 25 miles north of Geneva, on the lake where he was again unsuccessful. He then re turned to Geneva and learned from the papers of the presence of the Austrian empress. Yesterday he dogged her foot steps, but found no opportunity to carry out his purpose, though he watched the Hotel Beaurivagi) all day. This aftr noon, about, 1 :30. he said, he saw the valet of the empress leaving the hotel aniCping toward the landing. He inferred from this that the empiess was going to take the steamboat, and he hid himself behind a tree on the quay, with the file concealed in his right sleeve. In a few minutes the empress, accompanied by her lady of honor, appeared, and the assassin stuck the file home, Laochini confessed that he has bedn an anarchist since he was 13 years old. "If all anarchists did their duty as I have done mine," he said, "bourgeois society would soon disappear." He admitted that he knew the crime was useless, but said he committed it for the sake of example. " In spite of minute searching, the wea pon of the murderer has not yet been found. Dense crowds still surround the Hotel Beaurivage this evening. A CLASH IS IMMINENT. Aguinaldo Sajra He Considers th. Amer icana aa Brother But He Wanta to Know What They Intend to do. Manila, Sept. 12. Rear-Admiral Dewey says he considers the situation critical. He has asked for an additional cruiser and a battle-ship. The Spaniards assert that Germany will take a coaling station here, and that Huain will retain the remainder of the Inlands. The last Hpanish garrisons at I locos and Liguaua net have surrendered, arid the whole is land of Luzon is in the hands of the in surgents, except Manila and Cavite. Aguinaldo went to Lelollos on Friday. He has announced his intention of con vening an assembly of the Filipinos on September 15 in order to decide upon the policy to be adopted by the insurgents. The correspondent here of the Asso ciated Press has had an interview with Aguinaldo, who said there were 67,000 insurants armed with rifles. He added he could raiiw 100,000 men. Iudeed, the insurgent leader pointed out, the whole population was willing to fight for their independence. Continuing, Aguinaldo said he had 0000 military prisoners, including 5000 in tne vicinity of Manila, besides civil prisoners. Later Aguinaldo said the 'provisional government" 'was now op erating 28 provinces. He asserted that in AiijiihI he appointed delegates in pro portion to the population. As to the Americans, Aguinaldo re marked that he considered them as brothers; that "the two sovereign re publics were allied against a commo i en emy." When questioned as to whether the future of the Filipinos' policy would be absolute independence, Aguinaldo ex cuaed himself from teplying, and asked what America intends lo do. The correspondent being unable to an swer this question, Aguinaldo continued: "We have been fighting for independ ence for a long time The natives who piofess to favor annexation are insincere. It is merely a ruse W ascertain Ameri can views." Asked if tho Filipinos would reject the retention of Manila, Aguinaldo declined to answer. "Would the Filipinos object to Ameri cans retaining a coiling fetation if recog nizing the independence of the islands or establishing a temporary protectorate over them?" Aguinaldo again refused to answer. Pending the conclusion of the assembly, Aguinaldo said he was confident there would be no trouble between America and the Filipinos. The insurgent leader denied having received a request from General Otis and Rear Admiral Dewey to withdraw his troops to a prescribed dis tance from Manila and Cavite, and he declined to discuss the" effect of such a request. Aguinaldo further asserted he had never conferred with the Ameri can authorities since the capitulation of j Manila, and that be had never author ized the insurgents to search or disarm Americans crossing the line. The correspondent closely questioned in our camp and partially settled set him about last Saturday's incident, tied on cactus thorns and centipedes I when the Pennsylvania troops pro- j will let you into some of my joys and ceeded to establish a new outpost. The ! sorrows since we sailed from San Fran Filipinos objected, and nearly precipita-jcieco. ted hostilities, ordering the Americans! Our boat, the Lakne, was formerly a to withdraw in 20 minutes. They issued lumber schooner plying between San ammunition, and intercepted the Ameri can reinforcements. Finally General Hale ordered all the Pennsylvanians to advance and the rebels withdrew. The local governor has explained that the incident was a mistake, and has re pudiated his subordinates' action. Aguinaldo declared to this correspondent that the Filipino who made the trouble merely ptetemled to be an officer, and is entirely unconnected with the insurgent annv. Aguinaldo complained that the Span ish were "disseminating these reports for the purpose of fomenting antagonism between the Filipinos and the Amer icans." The whole interview conveyed the im pression that Aguinaldo desires absolute independence, regarding the mission of the Americans here us accomplished, and expects their withdrawal "just as the French with Lafayette withdrew after helping the Americans in the war of independence, a war of humanity." Just now Aguiualdo maintains the role of extreme friendship. FROM FAR AWAY ALASKA. Mr.. Mclutyr. Write From the "Key City of the North." Skaqway, Sept. 3. I send you a few items from the "key city of the golden North," as the citizens of Skagway are fond of calling it. This town ha9 grown most rapidly since it started, a year ago, and now is of most respectable size and boasts of some fine buildings. For a while alter the gold discoveries at Tagish and Atlin Lakes, Skagway was almost left to the rule of the ladies, but a great many of the gold seekers have now returned, Borne having secured good claims, are intending to go back, while others are satisfied with the one trial, and will stay here, The eldest son of the writer is still at Atlin, but it is not known as yet how well he has succeeded in his quest for gold. He ia expected home daily. There is a large amount of stuff being freighted over this trail. Pack trains are kept busy. Freight is mostly hauled to the end ol the wagon road by wagon, ( and then packed on the horses from there. The trail of last fall is a thing of the past now. I walked over the old trail a short time axo and do not wonder at the bodies of dead horses which line it. fforses are keeping in fair condi tion now and standing the work well. The railroad is now about completed to the White Pass, the end of the wagon road, and the can will soon supercede the wagons that far. White Pass is con. sequently booming, as most of the pack ers will start from there. The barge Hkookurn came in yesterday in tow of the Walla Walla, loaded with railroad material, having on board, with other freight, two coaches and a caboose. The fatalities attending the building of the road have been no greater than would be the case in building any road in a rongh country where explosives are freely used. We understand that there are at present 24 ca-es in the railroad hospital at Camp 3, but none of a fatal character. Djvs are growing longer here, it ia nearly dark at 8 o'clock now and not light until nearly 4 o'clock in the morn ing. It rains very little here, and we also have very little hot weather. I should call it comfortably cool. Some of the gardens have slone well here. We have had fine lettuce, radishes, onions, carrots, turnips, peas and as fine Early Rose potatoes as we ever had in Oregon. There are huckleberries here in profu sion, wild red currants, high-brush cran berries and raspberries? Fish are plen tiful and easily procured, both salt water varieties and trout. This town now has a good system of water works, and electric light plant, breweries, steam laundries and other in dustries started, has two good hospitals, and also embalming, and undertaking parlors, steam heated and electric lighted hotels and other conveniences not often found in as young a place aa this. The general health of the place ia now very good. There has been some cases of cholera morbus, and stomach trouble incident to summer weather, but noth ing of a dangerous nature, if not neglec ted. Typhoid fever, which some feared on account of the dead horses op the trail, has not made its appearan.-e, and there is now no longer any fear ex pressed of it. I hope to be in Portland in a few week! where I hope to meet old triends again. Mas. W. M. McIxtybk. . A TERRIBLE VOYAGE. Sad Exprinr of th. 3rd Battalloa of U. S. Knglneers. In camp at Ilonolu, II. I., Aug. 18, 1308 Mv Lear Sister Now that we are Francisco and Alaska. She belongs to the Johnson, Locke Co , and is 655 tons burden, 147 feet long and 34 foot beam. Her appearance is not inviting for she carries many scars of former cruises. Everything favorable she can make about Bcven knots an hour. On the 5th of August the 3rd battalion of U. S . Vol. Engineers broke camp and went on this small vessel to be trans ported to Hawaii. The outside of our craft was not inviting, but when we went below.or using the nautical phrase, in the 'Tween decks, a chill of horror ran up every spinal column. We were packed lik) French sardines, using our knap sacks, canteens, etc., instead of olive oil- There was about seventy-three cubic feet of air space for each man, and in calm weather no circulation. The few hours we waited on the wharf were sweetened by the presence of the Red Cross ladies with large cups of coffee and ham sandwiches. There were crowds of maidens with sweet smil ing faces. Many scenes of tenderness took place between members of the San Francisco company aud these pretty girls. The Oregon company being great imitators took up the parting ceremonies with the heartiness and good will that has characterized their every movement. Tiny handkerchiefs fluttered and were responded to with brawny arms in mock babyishness waving good byes. We anchored in the stream that night and in the morning about 8 o'clock start ed on our south western journey. Some amusing incidents happened on our way across the sea. I had a good bunk mate so long as we were in ihe bay but as soon as we struck the bar things took a sudden change. I saw the symp toms of that awful weariness coining over him slowly but surelv. He became rest leas, turned pale, very pale, stood at the railing a few minutes staring into space evidently looking for angels then came the terrible upheaval that always follow these symptoms. He seemed to have these symptoms periodically the rest of the way across. The second day of our voyage be was leaning over the railing and looking earnestly into the water when the surgeon approached (concluded on page five.)
