THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF KING
ALPHONSO.

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF KING
ALPHONsO.
Says Madrid special of Oct. 2Sth
The excitement occasioned by the at
tempt on King Alphonso's life last
Friday has not by any means died out.
The criminal fired from the sidewalk in
front Of the house No. 90 Gale Mayor,
not far from the arched entrance
to the Plaza Mayor. He aimed
too low, however, and the ball
passed through the hand of a sol
dier standing guard on the opposite
side Of the street. The king saw
the flash, and, with an involuntary
movement of his hand, checked his
horse momentarily. He then rode
TRANQUILITY onward to the palace. Several
women who were standing near the
criminal pointed him out with loud
cries, and he was at once secured. He
did not make the slightest attempt to
escape. He said he came from Tara
gona purposely to kill the king.
General Grant was standing, when
the shot was fired, at a window in the
Hotel de Paris, situated at the junction
of the Carrera San Geronimo and the
Gale Alcala, and overlooking the
Puerta del Sol. This hotel is a long
distance from the scene of the attack,
but looks across the great central plaza
of Madrid, directly down the Gale
Mayor. Gen. Grant, who was following
with his eyes the progress of the royal
cavalcade, which had just passed across
the Puerta De Sol before him, said to
the Herald correspondent that he clear
ly saw the flash of the assassin's pistol.
The General had already booked for
Lisbon by the night train, leaving at 7
o'clock, and therefore could not present
his congratulations 20 King Alphonso,
but to Senor Silvera, the Minister Of
state, who called soon after and accom-
panied him to the railway station, Gen
eral Grant expressed his sympathies
and regretted that he was unable to
postpone his journey in order that he
might personally call upon his Majesty.
He requested Senior Silvera to convey
the kind and sincere congratulations
upon his escape from the assassin's
bullet.

RUSSIA BENT ON Conquest.

A London cablegram dated A. NJ.
Oct. Goth contains the following: The
Standard publishes a sensational dis
patch from Vienna to the effect that
Russia's military preparations are SO
vast that nobody can doubt she is bent
upon further conquest. The onl " ques-
ton appears to be whether she will wait
till spring or recOmmence the war be-
fore that time. The excuse will prob
ably be the outbreaks Of the Bulgarians,
which were gotten up by Russian agents.
A camp of 10000 men is forming at
Kischeneff to replace the troops who
crossed the Balkans sOuthward.
Russia refuses to evacuate the Do
brudscha or Roumania until Roumania
has concluded an offensive and defensive
alliance. Russian agents openly claim
tnat MOldavia as far as the Sereth must
become Russian.
The Times says: Russia ventures to
stand in the way of the execution Of the
Berlin treaty because she trusts to the
forbearance of others. A word spoken
in earnest by England or Austria would
bring her to her senses in a moment.
1t Is preposterous to assert that our
hands can be tied by the Afghan diff
Guilty. We must force ourselves upon
Afghanistan to the exclusion of others
who have no right there. Our course
is clear. When we shall enter upon it
is another question. 1t is certain, how
ever, that decisive campaign will not
commence before spring. Our attention
will meanwhile be given to carrying out
tn Berlin treaty"

the following requests, TO wit:
l. Such residents as have yard hydrants are
requested to permit same to run q sufficient
time to wash away rubbish filth. etc. and to
render the street cutters fresh and clean. This
step becomes necessary as many Of the cross
streets Or streets parallel with the river, are
without water plugs and the difficulty hereto
fore experienced In flushing these cutters be-
ing mainly due to defective drainage and the
want OF water.
2. Residents will please place, or instruct
their servants to place, the garbage In bozes In

prior to the city carts making their rounds. A
strict adherence to this plan will remove, In a
great measure, the cause OF the great number Of

to aid the authorities In keeping the streets
and cutters clean and healthy and in assisting
to remove any waste or offensive scattering
