MADRID, Jan. 13.-The greatest interest
has been exhibited here in the trial
of the Panama directors and in the
disclosures affecting high officials in
France. Seldom have Spanish monarch
lists in their daily articles in their
press shown SO clearly their antipathy for
French republicanism and their desire to
see an Orleanist restoration in France.
In court and aristocratic circles
well-known friends of the Orleans family
openly say that as far back as September
the Austrian and Spanish governments
and courts were informed of the coming
assault upon the republic. A new coali-
ton had been agreed upon by which the
Boulangists would lead the attack while
the Orleanists would provide the neces-
sary funds. The aim was to bring on
crisis and force Carnot to resign before the
general election, when the adversaries of
the republic hoped to sweep the course.
