MADRID, June 6-The new Spanish Constitu-
ton was promulgated with great pomp and cere-
mony to-day. At about half-past one o'clock in
the afternoon the members of the Executive
Council of the nation, together with the depu-
ties to the Cortes sailed out of the chambers on
a platform which was erected in front of the
halls of Congress. After the deputies had taken
their allotted places and silence was obtained,
the Secretary commenced to read the Constitu-
ton, which was received with loud cheers by
the great mass of people assembled in front of
the stand. On their return to the chambers the
deputies took the oath to protect the Consttu-
tion and the laws.
When the deputies were retiring a tumult
broke out, consequent on the utterances of
Kisses by a number of persons in the crowd.
The disturbance increased in spite of the efforts
of the troops to put down the demonstration.
The trouble continued for some time, until the
military governor of the city appeared, and
with great presence of mind rushed in among
the foremost of the rioters, shouting "Viuo
SoUerdnid Ndciondler This changed the senti-
ments of the mob and the crowd took up the
cry and Joined in loud cheers. Two men, how
many persons were seriously injured
The deputies subsequently returned to the
platform, when the troops outside the building,
to the number of 30 600 men, filed past in march
ing order. Great enthusiasm was manifested by
the spectators who congregated in the streets.
None of the Republican members, it was no.

| the occasion; fireworks were discharged in the
| evening in prominent places in the city, and a
| grand banquet was given, which was attended
| by the notables of Madrid.
| Fully one hundred thousand people from the
| country poured into the city, and participated
| in the demonstration during the day. A NOR

was uncovered, and the remains of the celebri-
| ties whose names were engrOssed on it arrived
