Anarchists Draw Lots to Slay Presi dent McKinley Fourteen Arrested. New York, Aug. 18. -Instead of two, Orhigh government official states thai there are 14 anarchists under arrest al the detention prison of the bureau of Immigration. They are all charged with being in a conspiracy to assassinate President McKinley and have been taken singly and in pairs from incoming ocean liners within the last ten days. -United States secret service agenti learn that an anarchist circle in Naplel had cast lots to see who would be th assassin. Eleven Italians and thre Austrians were selected. Closely fol lowed, they sailed for different ports. Their object was to strike individual blows at the president at the same time. That would make success, sure. . As fast as the men arrived secret ser vice agents, disguised as emigrants, went among them and they were ar rested. Maresca and Weida, caught yesterday, were two of 14. "The conspiracy was made on a night early in August. By working with the Italian police the secret service agents got wind of a great meeting of the circle in Naples. The men selected for the work in this country were quickly noti fied what they were to do, separated, going singly or in pairs to different ports in Europe. Some went to France, others to Germany, while still others, crossed the channel to England. Step by step they were followed to the gang plank of steamers. "The ii are now detained by tho emi gration authorities and are either at the barge office at the battery or the deten tion quarters at Quarantine. "One report is to' the effect that some are in Ludlow street jail, having been taken there from Ellis island in order to thwart any attempt to rescue them by Paterson anarchists." ' Details of the Plot. So far as known the plan was for each man to proceed to Washington at once on a certain date. They were to sur round the president and wait for an op portunity to strike. The .blow was ..to be by a pistol and knife. One of the number, it was certain, would be suc cessful. The question of escape was not considered, the 'men being willing to sacrifice their lives for their principles. The two men who did not meet their fellow anarchists were Maresca and Weida. Chief Wilkie of the secret ser vice division of the treasury department had his agents at the pier when the steamer docked. The two men did not come in the steerage as did the others. Maresca came as a steward in the steerage and Weida as a coal passer. They could have landed without going through the formality of the barge office. When Maresca boarded the Kaiser Wilhelm II at Naples Aug. 3 a secret service agent was close on his heels. Maresca professed to have no money when he boarded the steamer, and made application to be taken as cook. Fail ing in that he asked for a stewardship. There was a vacancy in the steerage cabin and he secured that. It was.not known that he had a companion. He and. Weida did not come aboard to gether. As far as known no one saw Weida come aboard and he -was not dis covered 'until six hours after the vessel sailed. When found he was secreted as a stowaway. He was put to work in the hold with the coal passers and kept busy until the boat reached Quarantine. The Kaiser Wilhelm touched Gibraltar Aug. C-and then sailed for New York. Two Taken Into Custody. On Wednesday morning last the ship sighted Sandy Hook light, came up to Quarantine and was there boardadby secret service men, who asked to seethe steerage and cabin lists and the ship's roster. First Officer Lanz took the detectives forward where they could see tho crew. Purser Meyer remembered recording the name of Maresca at Naples and Maresca was identified by Meyer when the for mer was brought out for identification. Maresca professed to be unable to un derstand English. After looking Ma resca over W. H. Hazen, in charge of the secret service bureau of this city said: "I think that is the man." Maresca was sent below when the ship was docked. When the liner tied up at her pier Maresca was informed that he was under detention. He was asked where his baggage was . and re plied in Italiau: r I' "Weida has it." ? This was a new lead and Weida was summoned from his work at the furnace and questioned. He professed not to understand English, but admitted that he had trunks on board. So quietly were both men taken from the liner that none of the crew or passengers knew that an arrest had been made. About 10 o'clock Antonio Weida, who says he is a brother of the detained Weida, and who lives in this city, called at the barge office, accompanied by a lawyer, and asked to see his brother. He said: Welda's Brother Talks. "My brother, father, mother, sister and myself all lived at Sorrento, near Naples, until four month's ago. My brother and I had been soldiers in the Italian navy. When I came to America four months ago he was in tie navy. I did not expect him on this boat, al though I knew he intended following me to America. I do not believe he ever belonged to any anarchist, socialist, po litical or secret society. He was never imprisoned nor arrested to my knowl edge. We have no relatives in- this country, except an uncle in This city. I am positive - my brother knows no an archist in Paterson or New York." Chief Hazen admitted that the two men were supposed to be anarchists and confirmed the story of the plot hatched in Naples in August to kill President McKinley. Further than this Chief Hazen declined to talk on the ground that he was in communication with Chief Wilkie in Washington, who had asked that ail news concern in e the sus- pects come from him (Wilkie). Chief Wilkie Makes a Statement. Chief Wilkie is quoted as saying: "The two men are not arrested. They are simply detained at Quarantine. They will be deported when the Kaiser Wilhelm goes back to Europe. It is true that on Aug. 1 this government was advised from Naples that Maresca had left Italy for the United States with the purpose of attacking the president. It was said the man was a most unde sirable immigrant I may have a more interesting story to tell later. " - Chief Hazen .was interviewed at his office in the federal building today. Q refused to give the technical charge on which Maresca and Weida were deJ tained." He further said Maresca is a typical anarchist. A number of papers in Italian were found on the two men and have been turned over, to Commis sioner Fitch ie. No weapons were found on either of the mem Captain Howard, supervising inspec tor of the contract labor bureau, has charge of the suspects during the ab sence of Immigration Commissioner Fitchie and Deputy Commissioner Mo Sweeney. Captain Howard refused to allow any one to see the prisoners and said no Italians had called to inquire about them. Maresca and Weida -spent Thursday and Friday nights on the Narragansett, which is moored off Ellis island. Yes terday they were kept in the detention pen in the barge office. CHINESE TO ATTACK ALLIES. Ijare Force Takes the Field Position of (he Internationals Uncertain. Shanghai, Aug. 21. The foreign offi cials here learn that the telegraph from xien ism na3 been cut. The position of the allies is uncertain and a large body of Chinese troops haa taken the field. Allies Knter the Sacred City. London, Aug. 21. The following dis patch has been received from .Admiral Bruce, dated Taku, Aug. 19: "The allies are reported to have en tered the sacred city of Peking Aug. 17. MANY CHINESE WERE KILLED. Natives Liost Heavily In Fight Before Peking Conner Talks. Peking, Aug. 17, via Shanghai, Aug. 21. Contrary to the agreement of thy allied commanders the Russians ad vanced and occupied the first door of the east gate early in the morning of Aug. 14, but failed to force the second door. At 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Aug. 14 the British and Americans entered the gate near the legations and met with only .slight resistance. The Japanese met more serious opposition at the upper east gate all day. At midnight Aug. 14 they blew up the gate and entered the city. Many Chinese were killed. Made a Desperate Assault. .The people in the legations were well, bti somewhat starved. Minister Con ger said: "Prince Ching, president of the tsung li yamen, sent word that his officers had received orders to cease firing on us un der pain of death. At 7 o'clock in the evening of the same day the Chinese opened fire and this continued all day. If the relieving column had not arrived when it did we should probably have succumbed. The Americans lost seven marines killed and 15 wounded and one child died. The whole movement is a purely governmental one. The Boxers are only a pretense, having no guns. The confidential advisor of the emperor was the leader of the imperial troops. In the 11 days over 2,000 shells fell among us." APPEAL FROM THE VICEROYS They Request That No Indignities He Shown Kmperor and Empress. Washington, Aug. 21. The state de partment today received an appeal from the viceroys of Nanking and Hu Nan, asking that no personal , indignities be shown the emperor and empress dow ager and renewing assurances of friend ship and of maintaining quiet in the south of China if this was observed. It is understood that the powers al ready have considered this question, and there appears to be no disposition to give the emperor or empress dowager affront. The application of the Chinese vice royss is in effect a request that the Chi nese" sovereigns shall not be made pris oners of war. It is an established prin ciple of international law that members of the enemy's royal family, his chief ministers of state and his diplomatic agents of state are liable to capture, even though they may not be actively en gaged in hostile operations. Their po sition makes them so important to tho enemy in the conduct of his war that they canuot.be treated as ordinary non combatants. - In the present case tnere is well grounded belief that the sovereigns, es pecially the empress dowager, have been instrumental in directing hostile move ments, and Minister Conger's advice stated that the imperial forces were be sieging the legations.

HEAVY FIGHTING AHEAD Cablegram From Chaffee Shows That the Chinese Are Malting a Desperate Resistance Bloody Work In Peking Progress of the Allies Has Been at the Cost of Many Lives. " WASmxaTOX, Aug. '23. The war de partment announced early in the daj that it was in receipt of a casualty list from General Chaffee and this was madi public about noon.

The message saysi "Report operations, situation, require ments." There is no intention of depreciating Mr. Conger. The government has tho liveliest cerise of gratitude for him, but it is not. deemed expedients to act on hit dispatches because, after his terrible ex perience, he is naturally embittered and possibly unconsciously biased and per haps needs and deserves rest. It is proposed to have Mr. Con gel came home at the first opportunity and enjoy a period of rest and recuperation. Cuban Kxport Trade. Washington, Aug. 22.
