Atocha, Plaza Major, and Gale Toledo-through
the gate and over the famous old bridge oil
tue same name to the Sacramental OF san
I,idro-was lined with dense crowds, who, to
their credit be 1t said, behaved in the most
orderly manner, quite contrary to the evil fore
bodings of many. With the exception OF the
memorable Goth of September, 1868, L have
never seen the Puerta del Sol so packed. There
had been some fears of disturbance, or, at any
rate, an anti Montpensier demonstration, owing
to anonymous placards appearing on Monday
night on the walls, merely announcing The
funeral of the victim of his love of liberty and
of the national independence Will take place to-
morrow at i o'clock" e2zA
On the door of the house of the deceased
there appeared placard which read taus:-
"Here lived Bourbon, the only loyal one OF
his race, who for speaking the truth died on the
field of honor. r. l. p" The funeral was per-
fectly non-poltical. 1t was ut the expense and
conduct of the Masonic lodges of Madrid Don
Enrique having been an advanced member. The
line was opened by thirty policemen or 'agents OF
public order" as they are called here. These
had no weapons of any kind visible, but each
carried loaded revolver in his pocket and
sword under his great coat as an incident which
occurred at the cemetery gate subsequently
proved. Two hundred hdcheres-i e., pauper
men and boys-followed with lighted candles;
then band of music and twenty more police
men. Next came the hearse belonging to the
Cemetery of San Isidre, for your readers must
know that here the hearses belong to the GENE
teries, and not to the undertakers. 1t had glass
sides and top, so that the cofin could be plainly
seen. 1t was drawn by six black horses, and pre-
ceded by two of the Alcaldes of the Barrier The
coffin was of bronze and said 10 be an exact
copy of that in which Enrique's bitterest enemy,
Narvaez was buried. On the coffin were placed
the sword, generals hat and sash of the de-
ceased, his Cross of Carlos III, and various
Masonic emblems. 1t was said that when the
clergy went to the house with the intention TO
join in the funeral ceremonies they were so hor-
rifed at these Masonic emblems and other signs
of the "craft" about the room that they took
away every emblem of the Church, and re-
fused to accompany the body. One worthy
curd, however, Senior Pullido, volunteered
to perform the last rites, and accompanied
the procession, walking arm-in-arm with the
Duke of Sesa and Lieutenant Gudi, two relatives
of the deceased, Immediately behind the hearse.
The cintdS Qong black ribbons attached to the
coffin) were borne by four leading Freemasons.
Some few republican Deputies, 500 or 600 men,
bers of the Masonic lodges, walking six abreast,
followed; then another band ofmusic, 1900 to 2OO0
citizens, and about twenty carriages closed the
procession. AS the body left the house the
bands played a funeral march, when they
changed to the 'Marseillaise" on entering the
Puerta del Sol, and recognizing Don Nicolas
Maria Rivero the present Minister of the Inte
rior, in the balcony of the Principal. Loud
clapping of hands from the assembled thousands
greeted the tune. A few cries of ''MuerG Mont
penSier!' ("Death to Montpensier!'O caused a
commotion in the crowd, and they began to
run; but the police and the better disposed
| people quickly restored orter
