STRANGE at the indignities which the
Spanish King was subjected to, The
Radicals
and Prime Minister Ferry for the course
they have pursued in the matter. The
Cabinet Is divided in opinion as to its
policy.
The journals here continue to condemn
the conduct of the pOpulace toward King
Alfonso, pointing out especially that they
were playing into the hands of Prince
Bismarck.
lie journal official publishes the fact
that President Grevy apOlOgized to the
King for the outrage of Saturday. All
the French Ministers were present at the
banquet given by President Grevy in
honor of the King. at the Palace Elysee
on sunday evening, except NJ. Thibaudin,
Minister OF War, and NJ. Meline, Min
lister of Agriculture. President Grevy
wore the Spanish order Of the Golden
Fleece. King Alfonso cOnVersed for half
an hour after the banquet with President
Grevy and Prime Minister Ferry. Nj.
GreYy urged the King TO remain in Paris
another day.
King Alfonso and suite left this
city this morning on their return
to Spain. There was no demonstration
by the pOpulace on their departure. King
Alfonso will reach the Spanish frontier at
midnight. General Petite, Secretary of
President Grevy, and Due de Fernan
Nunez, the Spanish Ambassador to
France. escorted the King to the railway
station. The King made an excellent inn
preston upon the guests at the banquet
at the Elysee. President Grevy in re-
ferring thereto said he never expected to
meet so much good sense, dignity and
GOODNESS i'm so young a sovereign.
Prime Minister Ferry and NJ. Challomel
LacOur, Minister of Foreign Affairs. had
a long conference this morning.
L. Temps says that President GreVy's
action in apOlogiZing to King Alfonso for
the hostile manifestation will have the
best effect in dispelling the clouds that
are looming up between France and Spain.
lie France says that at the dinner at the
Elysee NJ. Raynal, Minister of Public
Works, informed Marquis de la
Government, wishing to furnish
proof of its desire to strengthen the rela-
tiOnS between France and Spain, had re-
solved to summon an international com
mission to examine into the scheme of
building a tunnel at the Canfranc, Spain,
in order to improve railway cOmmunica-
tiOn between the two countries. 1t is re-
ported that at the Cabinet Council to-
morrow the Ministers will discuss the
question whether or not the papers which
promoted the demonstrations against
KING Alfonso can be prosecuted.
LONDON, Oct. 1.-The Paris cOrrespOn-
dent of the Times says that King Alfonso
is perfectly satisfied of the good faith of
Prime Minister Ferry as representing the
French Government. The King does not
admit for a moment that the spirit shown
on Saturday by the mob, which was eX-
cited by false statements of anarchist
agitators, represents the French nation.
In abridging his stay in Paris by one half
the time intended, the King desires to
diminish the difficulties that have arisen
out of his visit. Marquis de la Vega de
Armii0, Spanish Minister of Foreign At
fairs, and the spanish Government en-
tirely agree with the decision of the King
to leave Paris.
King Alfonso was quite unaware of his
appointment to the COlonelcy of a Uhlan
regiment until he received it and his uni
form simultaneously. Emperor William
intended the appointment as an agree
able surprise. He would not lend himself
to anything that would be likely to excite
pTeIuulCt against one lOI WuOHl ne Hdu
taken an exceptional liking. Prince Bis
marck had nothing to do with the ap-
pOin ment. King Alfonso and the Duke
of COnnaught exchanged visits on Sun
day. President Grevy went to the depot
Saturday to greet King Alfonso reluc-
family. but if his manner appeared cold
his words were cordial.
The Madrid correspondent Of the Times
says that the hostile reception accorded
to King Alfonso in Paris had considerably
increased his prestige at home. His per-
sOnal courage and discretion, his dignified
bearing during his progress through the
streets of Paris, and his visit to President
Grevy's residence at the Elysee without
an escort are subjects Of general eulOgium
and of admiration by Spaniards.
