PARIS, Sept. 3o.-President Grevy visit
ed King Alfonso at the Spanish embassy
this afternoon. The interview was o: q
most cordial character. LIE Temps rsferr
ing to the hostile reception OF Alfonso by
the populaca says: "The and patri-
otto humiliation occasioned to all good
citizens by the nots yesterday should not
cause Us to exaggerate the Importance Of
this manifestation of the few thousand
who are authors of this scandal band OF
brawlers always the same who whistled and
stamped their feet at public meetings, and
who treated Tniers and Gsmbetta ~ C
manner similar to that IN which
they treated Alfonso, who no more
respect the interests of France
than they do the honor of other nations.
No arrests were made yesterday in con-
nectlon with the hostile demonstrations,
and the report of arrests was erroneous.
A rUmor that Alfonso left Paris proved un-
true. 1t is asserted, however, the king wgs
advised to reman quiet. He refused, saying
he was perfectly aware of the fact that the
hostile demonstrations we're net the work
of Partisan people but of some misguided
individuals. The king attended mass at
the Church 81. Clotilde. He sent q mes
senger to inquire concerning the Oondi-
tion Of The Cuira5sier forming, part Of the
escort yesterday who was thrown from his
horse. Alfonso promised to provide for
the injured soldiers family if his injuries
prove fatal.
The king visited Epinay, returning this
afternoon. at an interview with Grsvy
and the Spanish embassy President Grevy
tende-s4 aa apology to the king il the
name Il thc French republic because of
the couGasf 0f The mob. The people, he
said, should sci be confounded with the
hostile mani station. He begged the king
to give France a fresh proof of sympathy
By accepting an invitation to a banquet
at Palace E!ysee this evening, to be at
tended by all The cabinet officers, when the
sentiment OF France toward the king
would be shown. Alfonzo replied he had
come to Paris animated by the most
friendly sentiments toward France snd
as proof of this friendship he would accept
the invitation. The king went to the pal
ace of Elysee at this evening.
The Figaro protests in the name of
French dignity and politeness against the
course manifested.
IUAbOtS cfi15 OOLnOuSLEdllOu WAS
worse than a mistake. It was crime
Pdir hopes Alfonso's reception will be
dispassionately judged; that it will be
treated as a manifestatio of q very keen
sense-too keen sense-of national di9ni-
ty, not as an act of hostility toward the
Spanish nation.
Die Nue. Verone regrets the hostile re-
ception. 1t would have preferred Alton
so had traversed Paris incognito. If he
remains few days among us, 1t says, the
only duty of the people of Paris is to bs
strictly polite.
Raphael says: The altitude of the Paris
ians clearly proved they viewed with
discomfort the ultra official character &c
King Alfonso's reception. After the occur,
renee of incidents which appeared rather
to dictate to the government, it shoald
pursue at least a circumspect course dur
ing his Majesty's visit.
MADRID, September 30.-AlfoRso's re-
ception ia Paris creates a painful impres-
sion here, and much indignation is
expressed in political circles Telegrams
from Paris tend to confirm the rumor that
Alfonso will quit Paris at once. 1t lis even
said he starts tonight.
