| Many persons Of note in Madrid went to
the frontier to greet King Alfonso aud
| escort him tn the capital from his journey
| to France. Great preparations were made
| in the Spanish capital by the people to
| welcome the king upon his arrival. The
| train containing his majesty and suite ar
rived Mt lrun Tuesday morning. The king
was received with unbouuded enthusiasm
| by the crowd in waiting. In parting AZ the
frontier with his French escort the king
babe the aide de camp of President Greyy
convey his thanks to the president for the
cordial welcome he had given him at Paris.
King Alfonso arrived in Madrid Tuesday
| afternoon. An enormous crowd complete
| ly blocked the streets between the railway
station and the royal palace. Flags were
| displayed in every part of the city and
| many shops were closed. The queen went
| to the Escurial to meet the king, whom
| tho cabinet ministers, civil and military
officers and many deputies and senators
| welcomed at the station. On the arrival
of the train loud cheers were raised, last
ing several minutes. Their majesties pro.
ceeded to the palace in carriage uues'
corted They were surrounded and follow.
cd by great mass of peosle. The paudits
continued along the entire route, ladies in
carriages and on balconies waving their
handkerchiefs. The enthusiasm was great
est in the square before the palace, where
thousands had assembled almost stopping
tho progress of the royal carriage.
The king appeared on the balcony of tue
| palace several times and afterward held n
popular reception. Tuesday night a grand
sereDade was given before the palace by
all the bauds of the garrison. Many
houses throughout the city were illumt.
mated. El C0rrtO estimates that 10000
persons attended King Alfonso's reception.
The king ordered that no one should be
refused admittance to the palace. The
salons could scarcely contain the immense
crowd of arstocrats, officers, private SOL
| diers, students and workmen.
| The excitement OF the Spaniards against
Fra0ce continues to increase. The D1mo-
cratic aud Republican journals unite IN
advising moderation on the part of the
people. At one Of the theatres in Madrid
the audience compelled an actress 10 sub
stitute the national air for some French
couplets forming a portion Of the play
which was being performed. The popu
larity of the royal family has largely ill.,
creased since the events i'll Paris of last
Saturday.
The newspapers Of Berlin regard the
| insults heaped upon King Alfonso 10
| Paris rs a moral defect of France. No
power, they say, would now now wish for
an alliance with her. The insults To the
| Spanish king we're, in their opinion, more
directly aimed against Germany, who con
slders them sign of weakness.
| A dispatch from Paris states that Nj.
! Waldeck Rousseau, minister of the inter
Tor, has ordered that an inquiry be institu-
| ted as to what measures were taken to
| ha nf
Alfonso's arrival in Paris on Saturday.
| King Alfonso, in declining the invitation
| of President Grevy to prolong his stay in
Paris. remarked that NJ. Grevy's apology
for his treatment by the people in the
streets on Saturday might make him forget
| the bitterness of his entry in Paris, but
| that Spain would long remember the Kisses
| of the populace, who would not see that
| behind the king it was the nation they
were kissing. AS the train bearing King
Alfonso to the frontier left the station IN
Paris his majesty requested Geueral Pitlie
secretary OF President Grevy, TO inform
the president that he left with a deep sense
fOf his courtesy.
, 1t is said in Paris that President Grevy
is much affected by the treatment received
by King Alfonso, and it is asserted b,
even intimated at one time that he intend
