THE INSULT TO ALFONSO.

LONDON. Oct. 1.-The EarIS correSpon-
dent of the Times says King Alfonso is
perfectly satisfied of the good faith of
Prime Minister Terry as representing the
the French government. The king does
not admit for a moment that the spirit
shown on Saturday by mob which was
excited 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 d.
minish the difficulties that have arisen
from his visit TO the Marques DeLavega.
De Armijo, Spanish minister Of foreign
affairs and the Spanish government entire
~ agree with the decision Of the king to
leave Paris. Alfonso was quite unaware
of his appointment TO the coionelcy of the
Uhlan regiment until he received it and
his uniform simultaneously. The Emper-
or William intended the appointment as
an agreeable surprise. He would not lend
himself to anything that would be likely
to excite prejudice against one for whom
he had taken an exceptional liking. Bis
marck had nothing to do with the appoint
ment. Alfonso and the Duke of Connaught
exchanged visits Sunday. President Grevy

his prestige at home. His personal courage

cnh Of ar1nrrispa nd ~ Cd
miration by the Spaniards.

ish nation, which would stand by the King.
