a Uranch cf the Bank of Spain es,,abli,hed at Ali-
cant. The reports of a Ministerial crisis are un-
founded. The Court wilt shortly return to

tailed account of the Pronunciamento made by the
law studeuts on the Lt

"By the new law of public instruction, passed by
Narvasz, the vacation is made to commence on June 11,
instead of on the lst, as heretofore. The students hav-
ing protested in vain against this innovation, assembled
in great numbers under the wals of the University, pre-
tending to take shelter from the extreme heat. Instead
of entering their classes, they all, at a given signal,
hoisted umbrellas, and displayed fans bordered with
feathers. Thus armed for a pacific: demonstration,
they promenaded the streets. When passing opp ;site
the house cf M. Moyano, who was Minister when the
obnoxious law was presented to the C,,rtes, they
uttered some cries. An anonymous letter had been
written to the Minister of Public Insttuction, invit-
ing him to attend the funeral of tlaa law in question.
In the course of their walk the law students caled
upon the medical student?, and invited their
fraternization, but, being rec:ived, they re-
tired. Of two students arrested one is the son of an ex-
Minister and Senator, and the other a student in his
fourth year. Both are in the Salader's prison, but the
first is in a room by himself, while the other is compelled
to asso&a's with ordinary criminals. On the 2d the
seventh class attended, giving by way of excuse for their
yielding that their course of lectures would at all events
finish on the sth, but all the other students absented
themselves."
