(Received September 10, 10.56 p.m.)

WASHINGTON, September 10.

The Cabinet has unanimously decided that the prosecution of Czolgosy shall be treated as a purely local affair. This course has been adopted to' prevent the would-be assassin being made a hero by exploitation. Any accomplices will be punished, but the adoption of a wholesale measure against Anarchists is not intended.

In the interests of his own safety Czolgpsy has been confined in an underground dungeon.

Miss Goldman has been arrested in Chicago. Two of her male Anarchist friends have been arrested in Pittsburg.

(Received 9.1 a.m.)

WASHINGTON, September 10.

Mr Milburn, one of the first lawyers of the State, at whose house President MeKinley is lying, declares that the misdeed was the result of a conspiracy. Miss Goldman's arrest is as one of the principals in the plot. All the conspirators, according to the judgment in the case of "The People v. Spies," otherwise known as the Chicago Anarchists' case, are equally guilty, hence the authorities are indicting members of tbe Cleveland Anarchist Society (whereof Czolgosy is a member), including Miss Emma Goldman, whose incendiary speech was found on the assassin's person. After the assault on the President Czolgosy menaced with a» revolver Detective Ireland and two others, and he is to.be indicted with each of these assaults,, besides being liable for ten years' imprisonment for each bullet fired. All the sentences will be consecutive.. [The name of the President's assailant is. spelt in the cable messages sometimes Czolgosz, and in other places Czolgosy.]
