The Situation in snain.


The recent arrest and expulsion from
Paris of the Secretary Of Senior Gorilla
with manifestOes which he intended TO
distribute in Spain. shows that Alfonsos
crown is again in danger. Gorilla was
one of the leading spirits Of the Republl-
cans during the reign of King Amadeus
and one of the agitators that forced the
abdication OF that unhappy monarch. He
afterwards occupied a high position IN
the republic, and since the restoration
under Alfonso has been an exile. but
close observer Of Spanish affairs. he re-
Gently issued an address, in which be
maintained that Spain could never look
for prosperity and peace under mon
archial form Of gOvernm mt. and advised
the Republicans to proclaim that only
with the re-establishment of the republic
would the country enjoy order, morality,
Justice and liberty. Whatever may hap
pen in the future" he said, lin
a peaceful or an armed struggle,
the day Of battle viii be the
day Of victory. Our motto will always be,
never to make a compromise with the
Bourbons.' Senior Gorilla ardently de-
Tended the military outbreak of last year,
and expressed confidence in the union OF
the different factions Of the Republican
party He says the principal aims Of the
Republicans will be to establish civil
marriage, trial by jury. the abolition Of
slavery. and the reconciliation Of the col
onies to the mother country. He ex-
pressed his belief that a revolution was
inevitable, and certain Of success.
There seems to be no doubt that the
monarchy has a very slight tenure in
Spain. only force can keep the Republi-
cans in subsection. and they assert that
but for the unwarranted and harsh meas
ures adopted by the government in the
recent elections, the monarchy would
have already been swept away by peace
full means. On the eve Of the election the
Ministry made the usual promise OF re-
form, but the Republicans point to the
recent revival of vitality III the preten-
sions of 50 unpopular a party as that OF
the Carlists as an evidence that the gov
eminent has taken no effective step to
fulfill its promises.
50 far as Alfonso personally is con-
| cerned the outlook is gloomy indeed. 1t
is stated that in addition to the State
troubles his health is gone and that he has
strong symptoms Of consumption. 1t is
doubtful if he will survive his declining
power. The army is very largely CON-
posed Of Republicans, and only concert OF
action and proper leaders are needed to
precipitate a revolt. If the elements OF
opposition to the government are any
thing like as strong as they are
represented to be, it would be the part OF
wisdom for Alfonso to follow the example
Of Amadeus and allow the change to be
accomplished peaceably. Should he not
do so, there are indications that before
many months shall pass Spain will be in
the midst of a struggle that will convulse
the country from Madrid to the farthest
frontier, if not RESULT in the Oyerturning OF
the monarchy itself.

There are a good many people who
have confidence in Senator John Sher-
mans judgment in financial matters. In
an interview, a synopsis Of which appears
in our dispatches this morning, he says
that he does not believe that the country
is on the verge of a panic. He sees
no indication of a general panic.
The trouble in Wall street is due, he says,
to reckless speculation. There is some
business depression, but the resources of
the country are ample and the condition
Of. affairs is not such as to invite a panic.
The situation is entirely different from
what it was in 1873. Sherman's judgment
appears to be similar to that Of the best
dnanciers Of the country.

The COekney Dudes whose Love Letters
are Amusing All London
Miss Minnie Palmer, the American ac-

sation. During her London season she
was much annoyed by the disagreeable
attentions proffered her by the ''mashersn
who frequent the Strand Theatre. These

driven away, and, when their bouquets
were rejected, some of them took to pes

love letters.
Many of these illusions were from
young society ''bloOds' Of high order, and
were models of sincere idiOcy. Most Of
the offensive compositions were thrown

The Nashville American, a strong pro-
lection journal, by the way, Is beginning
to see what the position of the Republl-
can party on the tariff question is. 1t
says: The Republican party is the high
protection party, but while Republicans
are pT0tectionists Of every interest in the
States counted in the Republican column,
they are actually free-traders as to the
interests Of states in the Democratic col
umn. BradstreefS says there is greater
unanimity among Republicans in favor Of
a large reduction of the tariff on sugar
than as to any other article in the tariff
list. This is possibly due TO the fact that
the protection which the tariff gives to
sugar benefits almost wholly the LOuisi-
ana sugar planters, and, as the Louisiana
Congressman as rule vote sOlidly with
the Democratic party on general issues,
the Republican managers assert that the
Louisiana Democrats are entitled to very
little consideration from the tariff forces.
There will undoubtedly be a very earnest
movement among Republicans in favor of
a large reduction upon sugar. Some are
in favor of the entire abolition Of the
