Revolutionary Movement.

Madrid advices say that the govern
ment is in possessi on of evidence going
to show a conspiracy for the overthrow
of the monarchy and the establishment
of a republic. There is no doubt that
the recent Barcelona outbreak was
a premature explosion Of sec
ton of a mine that the rev.
olutionists abroad and at home
have been for some time engaged in
laying. The conspiracy is said to be di-
rected from Paris and to have branches
in London and Lisbon, the overthrow
of the Portuguese monarchy and the
substitution of an Iberian republic that
will take in the whole peninsula, being
in the programme. The queen regent
has for some time past been taxing
energetic steps to detect the arch
conspirators, and defeat their ma
chinations. The army is in bet
ter condition than for many
years, but there is no certainty that its
loyalty can be depended upon, as the
Republican propaganda has honey
combed both the army and navy. Not
wlthstanding official secrecy, there is
sufficient evidence that the gravest APP
prehensions are felt, and that while
the authorities are cropping in the dark
they have well-formed idea that a
crisis of the utmost gravity for the
Spanish monarchy is approaching.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 30-A thrilling specta-
Gle was witnessed at the Grand theater here
A lion tanner named Delmonico was going
through a rehearsal Of an intended perform
ance The two lions selected as his subjects
were not acquainted with Delmonico and
showed some i'll temper when the tanner ap-
preached them This did not deter Del
monico, who had unbounded faith in the
ability of his eye and nerve to subject the
widest beast of the forest. Delmonico ap-
preached the animals and was about to show
his ability to handle them like kittens, when
one Of the lions sprang at him with short,
quick growl.
The lion fastened a claw in the mans
shoulder, and with its teeth in his thigh,
seemed about to enjoy Delmonico banquet.
The tanner by supreme effort succeeded in
tearing himself from the animal and maxi
ing his escape from the cage. Delmonico
was badly torn and bitten, although it is
thought he win recover.
