MADRID. July 81, 1873
A meeting of Intransigentes at Alcaniz, in
Aragon, has been broken up and twenty-four
persons, who were present, arrested.
Who Are the Intranaigontose
They are secessionsts from the Spanish Cortes
They retired from the legislative hall on the LIST OF
July. Their number is said to be under forty, all
belonging to that extreme section OF the Extreme
Parliamentist Left, now known % Ultra-Intran-
sigentes; for even the small Intrsnsigente minority
has cOntrived to divide into two camps. The
retratnstento itself may, 1t ts thought, lead to q
second split and Spain may see thlrd section OF.
say, Ne Plus Ultra Intransgsntes, who will carry
out their threat OF going into the provinces to ex-
cite rebellion against the government and be
thus distinguished from the mere Ultra In
transgentes, who threaten to 60 from Madrid but
20 not. 1t is upon this contingency that the i'm
portance of the movement chiefly depends. The
provinces are some of them in such state OF
anarchy and agitation that even handful OF the
club orators who figure prominently In the Cortes
Extreme Lett might possibly inctte them TO revolt
en- masse from the central government and declare
their independence. Barcelona, In which the reds
are very powerful has taken this step. Even
provinces which have little sympathy with the In
transigente movement do not regret to make 1t q
pretext for q quarrel with their old municipal
enemy, Madrid.
The J,4stcaa FEDERAL of Madrid, the leading organ
OF the Intransigentes, headed its columns on July
with the following notice.
Now we can understand why so MANY battalions
of troops have come to Madrid during the last few
days. The Assembly yesterday evening voted the
suspension Of the Constitutional guarantees. They
invested the government with extraordinary
powers and thus made the government sovereign.
The government being sovereign 1t Is evident that
the Assembly Is no longer so. And the Assembly
not being sovereign 1t is not Constituent Assem-
bly, The result OF all this Is that the Constituent
Assembly Is dead.
The foregoing proves the dlspleasure with which
the Intransig look upon the two facts alluded
to by their organ-namely, the sudden cOncentrs-
ton OF troops In Madrid and the passing Of bill
concedng extraordinary faculties to the govern
ment to cope with the Carlist tnsurreosi0n.
