New York, April 3.--Thc following
dispatch from Madrid Is another YER
sion of the report of the discovery of
a conspiracy against the life of King
Alfonso: II is reported that zorii-
list plot TO murder King Alfonso has
been discovered by The police ofli-
cials, but they will neither confirm
nor deny the report. Their reticencc
leads to the belief that there is some
truth in the rumor, and very signid-
cant fact is that the pontiilcal high
mass which was TO have been celc-
brated to-day at the cathedral in
honor of Holy Thursday, and which
was to have been attended by King
Alfonso and the queen, was suddenly
countermanded.
