| MADRID, June 29.-Dispatches were re.
ceiyed by the Government this morning con-
yeying the startling intelligence that Marshal
Concha was killed yesterday in an attack BY
The Republican troops upon the Carlist en-
trencbment at Muro. three kilometers from
Estella. When the National forces learned
OF the death of their commander. they re-
turned to their former position without dis
| order, leaving no trophy in the hands Of the
enemy. The command of the Republican
| army will be taken by General Zaboa, pre.
| sident of the Council and Minister Of War.
Senior COloner will succeed Zabola as Minis.
ter Of War, and Senior Sagosta, Minister Of
| the Interior, becomes President Of the Coun-
Gil.

two staff officers were killed in the same at

PARIS, June 29.-In the Committee Of
Thirty to.day the constitutional bill moved
by Cashier Perier was rejected by vote OF
Is against 6. No vote was taken on the bill
submitted by Lauebert dc st. CIoix. The
committee decided TO draw up constitu-
tional bill Of its own, and for that purpose
appointed three commissioners-viz., Ven
tavon and Compile Darn, Monarchists, and
Charles de Lacrombe, Liberal Conservative.
This selection shows that personal septenal
has triumphed, and neither the septenal Re-
public nor definite Republic have anything
to hope for from the Committee of Thirty.
The death of Marshal Concha is consid-
cred an event of great potential importance.
II is believed that he intended to proclaim
Prince Alfonso king as soon Us the cam
paign against the Carlists was brought to a
successful issue, and the Madrid Govern
meut deeply mistrusted him.
