The existence Of the Spanish republic
IS source OF nneasiness at the court in
Berlin, The Emperor William now re-
grees the false step he took toward the
re-adjnstment Of governmental affairs in
France. he is sorry he did not re-
establish Napoleon III or some other
monarch in Paris, and accept the paw
ment Of slight indemnity rather than
have permitted public events to take the
course they did. The Emperor William
regards the Spanish republic as a politi.
cal and popular consequence of the
French republic, and he is anxious and
uneasy because he is uncertain where the
republican movement will stop.
