Excitement in Madrid, Spain over the
German occupation Of Zap is intense, and
the pOpulace are wild with rage A
large crowd gathered in front of the German
embassy; attacked the buildings and tore
down the coat of arms and drs eyed it
through the streets to Puerto del Sas.,
where they burned it in front Of the Office
of the minister of the interior, amid wells
of Down with Germany" After venting
their spleen there the mob proceeded to the
French embassy and Cheered frsntically.
The crowd had by this time grown to con-
siderable proportions, and fears are being
entertained Of q serious riot. Troops we're
ordered out to clear the streets. The crowd
retired before the military, but a not was
feared at any moment. The situation is
very grave. The council OF ministers has
adopted q proposition to court martial the
governor Of Yep, and the commanders of
the two Spanish war ships which arrived
there on the 2lst ult., for neglect Of duty
The latter for not garrisOning the island
With Spanish soldiers on their arrival there
and the former for net hosting the Spanish
flag and prOclaiming the authOtity of Spain
over the island. The report that 8 German
squadron had sailed for the Caroline Islands
is confirmed.
An authorized report is published that

Senior CanOVas De Costello told King AL
fOnsO, that unless he trusted the ministry
energy would probably bring about q ruD-
ture with Germany, and increase the pop
ularlty Of King Alfonso. At the same
he deprecated such q course until Diploma
macy had been exhausted. King Alfonso,
without hesitation, decided he had conf
denCe in Senior Canovas's cabinet, and
would maintain it in preference to popu-
larity with the people, at the price Of blood
shed. His msiesty was convinced that the
Emperor William would meet him half
way IN the desire for peace King Alfonso
has telegraphed Count BOnomar, the Span
ish ambassador at Berlin, accordingly.
Court and Official circles are confident, that
either by means Of arbitration or negOtiR-
tons, that Spain viii retain possession Of
the Caroline islands.
Says a London dispatch there is no long
CT any doubt of the failure Of the mission
of Sir Henry Drummond Wolf, the Brit
ish special envoy to Turkey. 1t is an
nounced that the Anglo Turkish Joint Oc-
cupetiOn Of Europe has been abandoned,
and the Porte viii consider the eXpediency
of sending commission to accompany Sir
Henry to Egypt. 1t is generally believed

the terms offered by the British envoy is he
feared Russia would forget her promise re-.
speeding the treaty Of Berlin ia the event
Of an AnglO-Turkish alliance.
