here yesterday afternoon. The weather could not
have been better. The night before heavy shower
had fallen in the mountains. which cooled and
moistened the atmosphere and a gentle breeze
neutrazed the warmth Of the SUMS rays. AS the
manifestation had been talked Of some days
previous all Madrid turned out to witness
It, and there were not wanting evil
minded persons among the reactionary party, not
only anxious for a disturbance, but also to create
one should q favorable opportunity present ITSELF
They were, however, doomed to disappointment.
The republicans here though impulsive by nature,
have learned to control themselves and how to con-

decorum such as would do justice to far more
civilized countries than Spain. The manifestation
Of yesterday was conducted with severe dignity,
and there reigned unanimous feeling OF fraternity
and good will among all present The rendezvous,

where French treachery inundated the Spanish sons

French nation. But In 1908 the liberal sons Of Spain

But to return to our subject: the banners OF the
different districts having been placed In their proper
positions were Immediately surrounded by the
clubs and people OF the respective districts, who
were soon got into marching order All being
ready the word "fOrward" was given, and again the
martial notes OF the Marsellaise" rang through the
groves. Along the noble PradO the procession con-
tinued its dgnlted march. Every countenance wore
an expression of triumph and EMULATION In the eyes
OF all. The aristOcrats taxing their afternoon drive
pulled up their carriages ana gaZed with wonder at
