ing the cause was within Spain and not
without. gAccording to one account the
deliberately planned discourtesy and dis
respect of the aristocracy to the Queen
whenever opportunity presented was the
cause of the abdicstion. Another cause
assigned is that Amadeus and his Minis

Ministry, and, Amadeus knowing the
army to be in favor of royalty, supposed
that if he abdicated the army would de-
clare IN his favor and recall him to the
throne Amadeus going to Portugul and
remaining where the call of the army
could readily reach him and he as readily
return to Spain is assigned ia support of
his hope of being recalled by the army.
The evening of the same day that ANA
deus abdicated the Assembly resolved
Spain into republic. A ministry was
appointed and Government was fully
established. And from that time to the
present, or nearly the present, peace has
relgued within the borders of Republi-

have entered Spain and to have issued a
proclamation from Yara, in NaYarre, call
ing on the national troops to come to
their king. Several Carlist Chieftains
are said to have entered Spain and to be
received with rejoicings. And 1T is re-
ported that some soldiers are demanding
their discharge from service, and that Re-
publicans are clamoring for arms and that
the authorities have promised to supply
them as soon as received 1t is also re.
