A Great Revival of Activity-Extraordinary
Preparations by the Governments.
LONDON, Oct 24.-The revival of Republican
activity and plots on the northern and western
frontiers Of Spain has received fresh impetus
by the reports of the serious illness of King AL
fonso, and the Spanish Ministry has adopted ex-
traordinary measures to prevent the plotters
from gaining foothold in Spain. Troops from
the Basque provinces and from Navarro are
being rapidly concentrated on the French bor
der. Their commanders have been instructed
to strictly Gordon the frontier and intercept Re-
publican leaders, who are expected to make their
way into Spain for the purpose of fomenting a
revolt and prevent conveys of arms from reach
ing abettors in Spain. The military precau-
tions being taken are phenomenal, and indicate
that the Cabinet is alarmed at the information
it has received, and has gloomy forebodngs as
to the immediate future of Spain in the event of
the death OF the King. Strong military detach-
ments have been stationed at Saragossa Pam
plona and Huezca, and numbers Of detectives
are engaged in attempting to ferret out the
schemes OF suspected plotters. The Portuguese
authorities have arrested ex-Minister Salvachea
and other Spanish malcontents who were pre-
pairing to return to Spain for seditious purposes
Senor Gorilla, the famous Republican exile has

Re belliOn Threatened in Case Estrupp's As
sailant Is Put to Death
LONDON, Oct. 25.-Dispatches from Copenha
hagen tonight state that although the leaders of
the Opposition in the Danish Parliament deplore
the recent attempt to assassinate Premier
Estrupp, the rank and file of the party approve
of the resort to the revolver as the only
method of ridding the people of the obnoxious
Estrupp Cabinet. A fund for the defense of the
Premier's assaiant is being raised, and armed
rebellion is openly threatened if he is punished
with DEATH Political murder has hitherto been
unknown in Denmark, but it is feared that Ras-
mussen will now find imtators. The escape of NJ
Estrupp was more narrow than at first reported
as a closer examination of his clothing shows
that one of the bullets fired at him lodged in his
coat Rasmussen, the would-be assassin, is a
native of Copenhagen, where he has always
lived. 1le has frank, attractive face and bears
an excellent character Heis free thinker in re-
ligion and politics. and denies that he had any
accomplices. He says that he formed his inten-
tion to slay Estrupp the day before he made the
attempt. He went to the Parliament chamber,
but Estrupp was absent. Then he went to the
Premiers residence, and waited outside the
house for five hours, watching for his intended
victim. He says his only regrets are because he
failed to kill Estrupp, and that he is prepared to
die for his deed. King Christian is furiously
angry, and is having the Opposition leaders
closely watched.
An immense demonstration was held at Den
mark to-day to express sympathy with Premier
Estrupp, who recently had narrow escape from
death at the hands OF an assassin. An ovation
was given to the Premier at his house.

Mr.. Warden says that there was not the shadow
of reason for believing that President Johnson
ever bad an idea of armed conflict arising from
his disagreement with Congress. and through
his intimate relations with the President had
satisfied himself that no extreme measures
would be employed. Mr.. Evans says he enjoyed
the confidence of President johnson, who re-
lated to him in detail the causes leading up to
the quarrel with General Grant.
President johnson told Mr.. Evans that Gener

Stanton by his repeated complaints against that
official. General Grant agreed to assume the
office of Secretary of War until it should please
the President to relieve him, and that agreement
was made before the full Cabinet When Presi-

too, that the present act unduly favors slave

the influences which in these provinces at last
carried the value of slaves very low. Still, it
may probably be assumed that the exertions of

that Culbreath treated his wife with the utmost

offenses it is said that in drunken fit he lashed
