STORIES or SPANISH TORTI RE.

Canovas del Castillo was murdered by one OF
the Barcelona Anarchists. The latter declares
that he committed the crime an act of ven
geancc. That we may assume. was partly he
cause some Of his fellow Anarchists were put
to death by Canovas and partly because many
more had. as j. alleged been inhumany tort

circumstance is concerned there is 10 question

were put TO death for ii. The latter circum-
stance may be inquired into briefly. though it
